Let me start out by saying I am a big PD fan. I have the every day backpack in 21l and 31l, the every day messenger, tripods in aluminum and carbon fiber, the 6l sling, the capture clip, and 3 camera straps, even the freaking iphone case. I love the design of the backpack. It’s neck and neck with the Wandrd PRVKE as the best looking camera backpacks. I used to shoot Sony and Leica M. I sold my Sony and moved to Canon and the RF L series lenses. The 21l became way too small. It was awkward even to hold the R5 + 28-70. I spoke to other photographers and upgraded to the 31l. The 31l will hold my camera, 3 L series lenses, and even my strobe. But the size makes me look like I am going camping. And seriously, where is the sage color?! I settled for the Navy, which is yawn, just like the grey and charcoal. Overall love the quality, material, and design. I guess there is no perfect backpack. But PD will always be my love and hate backpack, 90% love, of course.
Like all PD products, this is a joy. It was fun to investigate and compare, but ultimately it is intuitive to use. Everything is so well thought out. No detail left unaddressed. The quality of the exterior, the flexibility of layout internally, and the multiple points of access make this the ultimate photo gear bag.
I am a doctor, bought a month ago, and it worked perfectly for my needs. The black color tends to get dirty easily but this is only a small drawback. I am very satisfied with my purchase
Great backpack, love the design, the bag has served me really well but I had a couple of issues after 3 years of owning the backpack using it everyday (which is kind of expected). I thought I would contact customer service as I have heard really good things about the support they provide. Glad I did as they were super efficient, friendly and went the extra mile to help me out! Peak Designs products are expensive, but there is a reason why and its not just the quality which is great, its the R&D driving innovation and the CS is second to none. I have no hesitation to recommend their products to anyone.
I've purchased two prior V1 bags and was excited to try out the newest version Unfortunately no physical peak design stores in my country. When i received it great anesthetic as usual just quality of the materials is noticeable thinner/less durable then the V1. Wished they kept same materials. The midnight navy is an excellent color
Bought 30L but found it is too big for my work purpose so bought another 20L which i am using for day to day work travel. 30L is used for flight related travels only and it can serve me for weekend trips without any issues. It was using samsonite bags for 20y but after switching to these i am never going back ;-)
