Looks great, holds X100 on PD Leash, with two batteries, PD Sling and then some.
Use it as a sling bag or inside my work bag.

Super functional man purse / fanny pack

I realized recently that i’m tired of stuffing my pockets. Wallet, phone, keys were somewhat manageable, but once our phones got bigger and we started adding airpods and masks to the mix it started to become unwieldy and unsightly. I saw a bunch of gen-z’ers resuscitating fanny packs from the 90s and realized they might be onto something. My millennial envy compelled me to investigate further.
I was a bit nervous about buying the field pouch since it’s one of the lower reviewed Peak Design products. I can only speak for my use case, but I love this thing. I bought it about two months ago and used it for both everyday carry as well as during recent domestic and international travel. Very occasionally I stuffed a camera (Sony a7Rii) in there with either a 35mm or in one case my 24mm gmaster.
One thing worth mentioning is that I don’t use the default strap that came with it; instead, I opted for the Slide strap since it’s so easy to adjust on the fly. I sling the strap across my shoulder and usually allow the field pouch itself to rest on my side or behind me. In crowded spaces or when wearing the travel backpack I’d swing it to the front so I could keep a closer relate on it.
At all times I kept my keys, phone, wallet, chapstick, and a pen in my field pouch. When I was out for longer I’d bring my iphone charger too. During travel it was handy to keep my passport and hold onto receipts in the zipped compartment. On sunny days I often carried my sunglasses in their soft case in the pouch as well. Mask and tissues/wipes were commonly in there too.
All of the above were my “baseline” everyday carry during my travels and the field pouch was perfect for holding all of these items — the pouch still had a slim profile and never felt bulky. I was not only achieving my goal of having nothing in my pockets, but also carrying “just-in-case” items without having to bring something bulky or heavy like a sling bag or backpack. Another key advantage is that in the airport nobody counts the pouch as a personal item since it’s so small and attached to your body so in transit I was able to carry-on my Travel Backpack, my (old school) 10L Everyday Sling and the Field Pouch. I could also consolidate and stuff it into either bag when I needed to.
For everyday carry the field pouch is a delight. I didn’t mind the velcro at all - I felt that traveling Europe it added some peace of mind since if anybody tried to pickpocket me I would probably hear it. Less convenient during a quiet meeting or when in a movie theater, of course. But as long as i wasn’t overpacking I felt velcro did a secure enough job of protecting things. Would I prefer magnets? Sure. But at this price point I really am not bothered by velcro as much as others seem to be.
The only time when I really pushed the limits of the Field Pouch was when I tried to bring my camera with me. In those cases I’d usually take out most of the items so that my camera and my Cuff would be the only in the pouch. In these cases since my full body mirrorless camera was relatively large, the pouch would be in it’s unfolded form and the velcro just barely closed. In these cases I felt more nervous so again would swing the pouch in front of me keep a closer eye. Overall though I decided fairly early on that this would not be a primary way of carrying around my camera; I’d only resort to this in a pinch. Smaller cameras would probably work better.
Overall a clutch purchase that I’m happy about. The key is generally not to overstuff it and you’ll be fine. Finally it looks really sleek in midnight and I’ve received lots of compliments. Gen-z‘ers watch out! This functional field pouch is almost making look and feel as hip as you.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still a great organizer, but liked V1 better

I have 3 of the V2 Field Pouch and 1 of the V1. I had the V1 for a while and loved it, but by the time I got my first V2, they were starting to phase out the V1 and I couldn’t get any more. In my opinion, the V1 looks better, is easier to get in and out of, and has more space. Most of that isn’t a deal breaker because I have 2 Tech Pouches for bigger stuff and the V2 is still a great product, but I do wish it was more like V1. What we needed was more of a V1.5 rather than a V2. That being said, I still liked it enough to buy it 3 times and would still recommend it. If you organize it well, you can fit quite a bit in it, and like all Peak Design gear, the flexibility is limitless. From shoulder carry, to belt carry, to capture carry, this can go anywhere you need it to go and it’s still slim enough to fit nicely in a bag, layered with other similar sized gear.

Highly functional, simple and elegant: love it!

Bought several weeks ago and never missed a day using it as my EDC bag for everything i want to carry with me, without stuffing it all into my pockets.
I like the flexibility to add more space, if needed and like all products from peak design: simple, clean and elegant design.
The Velcro works great for me and until know i didn't have any problems with it.
When carring cross-body a addtional pad or something like that added to the strap would be great, to avoid irritation on the neck if carried over long time.
I can highly reccomend the Field Pouch V2.
