I haven't actually traveled with the bag yet but it looks and feels great. The matierials are definitely superior quality and I like how the zippers are weather sealed when zipped. I wish it had some smaller organizational pockets for pens and small items etc. I think they want you to buy the tech pouch for that, but there still should be some on the main bag in my opinion.
I got this guy (with all of the packing tools that don't involve camera gear) looking forward to my trip to Arizona earlier this month. Needless to say this trip has come and gone, by far one of the most seamless experiences I have had traveling. What I loved most is that I got to the hotel and took out all the cubes, sinched down the pack to its more compact state and used it throughout the trip to carry jackets for me and my significant other, her gimbal among other toiletries.
What can I say that has not been said already? this bag is THE bag, as more and more companies bring their product to the market Peak brings their entire knowledge and careful consideration about bags to create a damn good product. The bag feels great, from the material to their daily interaction with your needs. It is sleek, the bag feels completely at home wherever you will take it, the confidence in well thought out design feels well thought out and pleasant to have around. The company is another strong point, you will probably buy this bag because you like it but you will end up liking it even more after knowing how peak design acts on their daily operations, from its customer relations to their sustainability oriented approach to everything else surrounding the company. This bag is the real deal for a lot of people out there!
Little Heavy but solid all around bag. Water bottle pockets on the sides are the best around. I use mainly as a daily carry but pair with Peak Design travel cubes for those long weekends at the in-laws etc. Makes for an easy transition from daily life to weekend out of town. Hoping to fit everything I need for a trip to Thailand in this bag. Finding packable shoes that my wife will let me wear to a night out and double as a functional shoe for walking and exploring is going to be the most challenging task I am afraid.
Really Amazing but definitely takes an hour to learn all the features

Would highly recommend. By far the best designed backpack I've ever used. I would recommend watching their YouTube tutorials to get the most of this backpack since there are just so many features, some hidden, that you'll be excited to find out are there.
Just check out the video and you'll be sold! We've tested many bags over the years to carry our photo/tech gear. There is no competitor that has put this much thought into development and quality.
This bag is perfect, period! Build quality is ridiculous, it has all the pockets you could need or wish and it is well designed and engineered. Travel backpacks from other brands are junk compared to it... I got rid of all my other bags and made this one my only travel companion.
