So many things done right - but looking for a V2
on December 2, 2022
Posted by: hudi2
There are so many good points but still i would like to see some improvements / changes for V2:
- Shoulderstraps should be wider / thicker
- Thicker and more structurized backpanel
- As the overall used fabric has some kind of protection included; the usage of the camera cubes sometimes feel like a overkill. I would suggested a thinner structure minimizing the weight and make the Backpack overall more flexible. Reducing the bulckyness when using as edc + small camera setup.
- Change the compression mechanismen. The snaps for compression aren't really reliable.
- Extend size of the front pocket

Great even for everyday use

I received my travel bag as a birthday gift more than a year ago, and I have used it every single day ever since. I am quite picky about my backpacks, and very often I find that most backpacks just lack all or some of the features that I need and want. Well, this backpack simply has it all: place for a laptop, a large/spacious main compartment that can be expanded, a small easy access pocket on the top, side pockets for water bottles or other things, side access zippers, very durable shoulder straps, practical organization spaces.... and a very robust material and design. Originally, I had planned to use this bag for traveling only (as soon as I got it, I went on a month-long trip in Asia). But I liked it so much that I started using it for my regular daily needs. Now I take it to work every day, and I simply love it. I must say, it has taken the toll of daily use incredibly well, because after more than a year of heavy use, it is in perfect condition. It has seen rain, snow, beach, mountains, frequent grocery shopping, biking, football training... I mean, it is really good. Some people complain that it is a bit too large for a daily backpack, but to me this is actually a great feature. I need the space for daily things. I use local transportation to go everywhere, and I need my stuff with me. One true downside is that it tends to be heavier than a regular backpack. But due to its robustness, I happily take that tradeoff. Bottomline, I absolutely recommend it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding and versatile

I used this pack for short and long term business travel, before we embarked as a family on a year-long trip around the world. It functioned perfectly for business carry-on, able to stow with room to spare gym gear and trainers, alongside business wear, laptop, cables etc.
But it was really purchased with the round-the-world journey in mind. We are travelling hand baggage only so everything I need for four seasons, as well as laptop, cables and adapter for the whole family are transported and protected in the Peak Design Travel Backpack. It has performed perfectly, with every chameleon-like aspect of the design being used and becoming vital. Backpack straps and waist belt have been stowed for boarding planes, trains, busses and taxis. The multiple grab options have been invaluable when rapidly existing public busses. The expandable bottle pockets don't intrude into the main volume, meaning they have swallowed anything from water bottles to damp swimming gear and more. Lash straps have secured damp towels.
The pack has proved durable too. On the couple of occasions it has had to be checked into prop plane holds it has shown no wear. And it even stood up to being used as ballast for the clothes line in the Omani desert. Is there nothing this bag can't handle?
Some of the best gear just functions well. This pack functions so well that it is enhancing the journey.

Best bag I’ve ever owned without a doubt

from Cardiff, UK
I’m wanted a bag that I could use for work, travel and play, this bag is perfect. The ability to scale up and scale down the capacity is fantastic as I use less for commuting compared to long distance travel. The quality is excellent and it just feels great overall. You will find with this bag that all of the attention to detail and quality make it a great bag to own. I am happy that I spent more than I usually would for the quality that is provided.

Perfect light travel bag!

Took it on a sailing trip, then on a land safari, and ended up camping with it, all on the same vacation. Strapped my tent and sleeping bag to it.
Kept all my stuff organized and dry. Loved being able to tuck away the shoulder straps when not using them. The perfect light travel backpack.
Thank you Peak Design!

Top Quality Travel Bag

I took this away recently for it's first trip and was very happy. All the pockets proved useful for all the cables, electronic equipment and clothes. I found it comfortable to wear and find the ability to put the straps away really useful so they aren't getting in the way. Overall I'm looking forward to using it more on future trips.

Great bag, very well designed
on November 24, 2022

Really impressed with this bag. It's very flexible in its use and the ability to expand and shrink its capacity is fantastic. I use it to commute on a motorbike and then plane and its perfect for that as it is waterproof and can be strapped to the back of the bike and then fits as hand luggage. Very sturdy.
My only tiny minor point is that the ability to reduce the capacity is a great idea but the poppers could either do with being stringer or more of them as it doesn't take a huge amount of force to release them. Fortunately the design is good enough and the fabric stiff enough that it pretty much holds its shape without them.
I would recommend this to a friend!
