Travel bag - sage
on January 2, 2024
Posted by: Zachary
from TN
Just got this a little while ago, but am loving it so far! I’ve been using it with the medium camera cube. The medium takes up about 2/3 of the inner space and the extension must be unzipped to use a camera cube. This is a great size for me, as I just wanted something for day hikes where I could bring my camera(s) and still have space for other stuff like blankets, books, snacks etc. as always, excellent quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Bag

I bought this bag a month a go due to its compact size, its beautiful and elegant.
This bag is perfect as a day bag but for weekend trips proper packing plan has to be done to be able to fit all what I need.
The exterior zipped pockets is just enough for a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses.
What I would like to have in this bag is to have deeper external front pockets with zipper or extra pockets with a zipper.

Great replacement to my old Tumi bag

I recently got the 30L. Exceptional craftsmanship and design. The quality really shows and I expect this to last over a decade with constant traveling—as my Tumi backpack survived over ten years of international travel.
I am realizing this is a very special backpack with only one exterior pocket and the clam shell design. A design decision that fits my pursuit for less clutter which gives my better mental clarity. My current Tumi has 5 exterior pockets… But I have learned over the years that five pockets encourages me to carry a lot of unnecessary stuff. I did a few audits of my backpack content over the last few years and realized that over half of the stuff I was carrying (besides notebook and laptop) was not being used. So, before getting this 30L, I had already started moving to less stuff in outside pockets, which are only the immediate essentials (ear pods, business cards, gum/mints, sunglasses, work access badge). Everything else can go in the main compartment.
There are a couple of zippered pouches inside the clam shell main compartment. I have found that I can easily access the upper mesh interior pocket without having to open the entire clam shell. This is great because this design allows for a few more easily accessed items like passport and moleskin notebook (with a pen loop on notebook).
I did get the compression cubes and will be using them for 1-2 day business trips. I will also use the bag for my DSLR setup with pro lenses.

I am certainly enjoying the bag so far and look forward to a long 10+ year relationship with it. I think it can handle it. The trade offs with the bag are right for me and meet my desire for an everyday carry that can do a little more when needed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

High Quality

I bought this travel backpack recently and after using it a couple times I absolutely love it. Right now I'm using it for daily use as a gym and work bag and I'm able to carry all of my work items and gym gear in the same, stylish, and high quality bag without lugging around multiple bags. I bought the olive green color as my second choice since black was out of stock but now that I have it, I'm glad I chose this color. It matches all work color schemes and outfits.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great versatility and EDC-worthy

The high quality materials and clever/considered design throughout this bag have been a fantastic investment. The fit and distribution of weight is really great, and it's quick and easy to get in and out of the bag (with a good balance of zippered pockets that work well for me). Glad it will last a lifetime, and that PD is doing everything to build and sell this gear sustainably.
I would recommend this to a friend!
