Great general purpose commuter + photography bag

This bag is a proper do it all workhorse for me -- I have a fairly small mirrorless camera with a pancake lens and a few other accessories, and this bag carries the camera, an extra lens, and all of my work essentials with plenty of space left over for groceries, and other miscellaneous items in the top compartment thanks to the internal dividers. Sure it's pretty expensive and seems to have a few design flaws (magnet adhesive on the backstraps, and sternum strap) but the lifetime warranty more than makes up for those in my eyes.
Further love the side access points and magnetized everything as far as interacting with the bag goes.

Missed the trick

I'm a fan of Peak Design, so it amazes me how a design flaw so big got through... There's no strap to pull the bag closer to the shoulders. That usual strap that you pull from above your shoulders and makes a huge difference in any backpack is missing, which means this backpack weight pushed on my lower back and kept pulling my shirt up constantly. Had to return! I still use the original messenger and have other PD stuff, but this one is a sad story for me.

Great for travel and everyday!

It is very comfortable on the back, even if heavily loaded. The 30L version is ideal for short travels and everyday work. Be sure to order it with the waist belt. I was unsure what I would get, but I realized it was a good choice once I received it. Its semi-rigid design is great for organizing the space and acts as a protective shell. I suggest adding some magnets to the waist belt ends to keep them in the closed position when not using them.

Trip report - 2 weeks in Greece
on August 18, 2024
Posted by: ponderosa
I used the 20L (plus a hardshell carryon suitcase) for a 2-week trip to Greece. Lots of pros and only 2 (pretty minor) cons.
Pros: fit everything for day of walking in hot/dusty conditions. I used it as personal item on plane, beach bag, and for days of hiking and sightseeing. Put passport in hidden compartment under top flap and used security features on zippers. Compartments kept food, extra water and gear, micro beach blankets, etc. all separate and protected. All the means of access and secure pockets made it easy to access things in ferries and during car rides. Laptop was totally protected. Did well with sand and salt water. The luggage passthrough was a huge win - very secure in airports and walking around cobblestones.
Only cons: 1) it was hard to fit under seat in front of me regardless of which class seat I was flying and 2) I couldn't fit both a laptop and an ipad pro in the zippered compartment, so I just brought my personal laptop (which ended up being find but for work travel I like a personl laptop or ipad in addition to my work pc).

Just amazing.

I love this backpack! While it is a steep price, for those are willing to spend a little (... or a lot) extra, you will not be disappointed with its comfort, modularity, and just overall ease of use. It really makes a difference and protects my expensive technology, especially being a college student.

Fantastic all around bag

I love this bag for everything from work to weekends to travel. It’s very professional so I can use it for my office job, but also practical enough to bring for a week trip as a single bag. 20L is great for day trips and a stretch for a weekend trip. 30L makes things comfortable for weekends and longer travel. If you’re a 5’10+ person, i think 30L also looks better on your frame.

Delivers every time!

I was in need of a new backpack. I already owned a few products from Peak Design, so I knew they also sold backpacks. After watching the explanatory videos on their website, I got excited about the many features. Once I bought the backpack, I realized it had everything I had hoped for and more. The various ways you can organize the contents and the ability to open the backpack from the sides are really convenient. Additionally, I find the design modern yet timeless. Besides all these very positive features, I do want to make one remark. For the price, a rain cover should have been included as standard. That’s why I’m giving this purchase a 9 instead of a 9.5.
