2 Key Critiques
on September 30, 2024

I love Peak Design and will still buy their products. But please consider these for next iterations!
1. The luggage slot on this bag goes in sideways. This is inconvenient because 1). one side of the bag is unreachable, 2). accessing the top back slit pocket results in contents falling out and 3). the slot to put the luggage handle through is larger than my luggage bags, resulting in a slide from side to side making it difficult to balance the bag.
2. The bag does not fully open from the back. while it is okay most of the time, it is much more practical to be able to pull the whole back part out to access contents, especially if it's in the middle of the middle (not easily accessible from the sides or the top).
Otherwise the bag is sturdy, looks great, has many features and I still use it everyday.
I would recommend this to a friend!

8 years without any complaint

I use the very first version of this amazing backpack for my camera stuff all around the world since I backed it at Kickstarter 8 years ago. Still a very good product. Never had any issues.
If it would fall apart someday I'd buy it again. But I guess this product won't get broken someday.

Best backpack I’ve owned
on September 28, 2024
Posted by: Filmgeek47
from Los Angeles, ca
The design of this bag is basically perfect. Took a little while to adjust to all the different ways to get in and out of it, but the divider system lets me customize the space in there to fit my gear exactly, while still leaving spare space when traveling to throw in odds and ends I need quicker access to. My wife thought the stitching on the bag looked a bit cheap, and I’ll admit the materials felt less premium in person than I was expecting. Still wouldn’t trade anything for the design, and I’m fairly confident it will hold up long term.

A fantastic daily backpack

Bought it a couple of years ago with an idea that I might return it if it’s too focused on photography equipment. Never happend. I’ve been happy with the backpack ever since and with its versatility. And, believe me, I used it for everything, from work to light tracking. Sometimes wish it to be lighter, but new products that fit the bill are coming.

Style and Function

It looks so good and works so well I can’t imagine ever needing another backpack for my camera gear. If I have any complaint it’s that any time I’m wearing it, I have to be prepared to encounter other photographers that are also obsessed with it and want to chat about how great it is. Building great products and a community too. Thanks!

The G.O.A.T. of Tech Backpacks
on September 24, 2024

from Westfield, IN
I'm a 56-year-old Information Technology executive, and I've carried every imaginable backpack for my gear over the years. Most of them were complete garbage, and then I watched a 2022 YouTube video by Marques Brownlee where he did a "bag dump" of the everyday gear he was carrying. This backpack was the camera bag he was using. I don't usually hop on bandwagons when it comes to my EDC equipment, but I decided to take a leap of faith and spend there extra money for this bag. I absolutely love it. I use it mainly as a laptop bag instead of a camera bag, but that fact alone speaks to its versatility. It's extremely well made, and every detail has been well planned. I like products that are well designed, and you can see that a lot of thought went into every design choice. I highly recommend this pack, along with the related Peak Design accessories.

Greater iteration on an already great backpack
on September 19, 2024
Posted by: Phil
from Seattle, WA
I got the v2 as a warranty replacement (shoutout to the legendary warranty) for the v1 I originally got via kickstarter after its zipper gave out after ~7yrs of consistent use.
In general, I appreciate the improvements over the v1. Most notably, the harness system is more comfortable, it stands upright on its own, and there are more organization in the top/back zippered compartment. I do still think I prefer the v1's side paanel organization, but I think I can get used to the new design.
One nitpick I have is the removal of a number of leather accents (side handles, zipper pulls), which elevated the look and feel of the v1.
