The best backpack for me !

I bought this backpack because i really like the everyday backpack 20L, I used that for many years and still in perfect conditions, but that one was to small for me so I decided to buy this travel backpack and it’s just perfect for me, I can use it in a lot of situations, of course traveling, but since I like to drive motorcycle and I have to go to university, this backpack allow me to bring everything with me.
It’s durable Environmental friendly Easy to access from any pocket 30L and you can expand it to 45 ( not so big and not so small). there si so much detail in this backpack so I keep looking for new things of this one. Overall y love it and for me it world perfectly.
Bought this for a cruise in Croatia and souther Italy. It was perfect for plane as well where I use it to put a small camera cube and a medium packing cube)
I will buy a large camera cube to use it at home. The material is great (I have the sage version), eveything is well designed. (I have over 20 bags and backpack and this one is one of my best.
I've had my Peak Design Travel Backpack for a few years and it still looks as good as new. When I'm done traveling I'm giving this to my son and he can continue its journey. This thing is built to last and still look great.
This system has the best camera cubes I have tried, but the pack has the worst harness ever. The straps have almost no padding on either the shoulders or the waist belt, and carrying a pro sized kit for any length of time is torture. The straps dig into your shoulders and hurt. The connectors on both the shoulder and waist section is a fiddly frustrating mess, very hard to fasten. I get that the harness is minimal to make it stowable, but it also means that the pack fails at it's most basic task...carrying a load in comfort.
I work with film production and this bag is truly a game changer. The system with camera cubes is so versatile and I find myself leaving my equipment in the bag between shoots because it is so orderly in there. No matter how heavy I pack it out it's always a pleasure to wear. Get it!
I bought this a few months ago and have now done one short trip and a month long overseas trip with it. Great investment! Its a robust flexible pack that doubles as airline carryon and a large day pack. All the access points make it easy to get at my stuff while keeping the pack secure, and the options to pack up the straps and use the many carry handles or also to slip it over the handle of a suitcase makes it really versatile. This pack took a bit of a beating a couple of times at the hands of tour guides, but it shrugged it off. I think this pack will be with me for a long time :)
Just bought the 45L bag. The design is fabulous. Love all the features AND used them. So so so clever. The amount of kit I can take on a shoot is simply amazing. This is a FIVE STAR BAG. Except for one important thing. Heavy bags need excellent padding on the shoulder straps. These straps are thin. To keep using this bag that I FREAKIN LOVE, I’m going to have to fashion a couple of Velcro fastened foam pads to stop my clavicles taking the hit for DAYS after carrying the bag. I get it! I understand why the straps have to be thin. If they were thick for comfort they wouldn’t fit inside the really useful strap concealer panels; a feature I love. Peak Design design guys…. please design some after market pads to attach to the straps at shoulder level, that can be removed and slipped into a pocket when stowing the straps. I’ll make a version to work for me now, but you’d do a better job 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
