Unusable cross-body strap

I have used the previous messenger bag for ~5 years, usually on a bike where I need the cross-body strap. With the new design it doesn't work. The way the shoulder strap is oriented, the cross-body strap twists the should strap and leads to the metal part of the buckle digging into my chest. I had to return it and go back to my old bag (fraying but still usable). Other changes from the v1 were a mix of good & bad.
When I purchased this bag in 2020 I was heavily searching for the best looking most durable bag and could not find anything until I met a random stranger in Disney with the coolest camera bag I’ve ever seen. I wanted a laptop bag but he was using it as a camera bag and could not say enough good things about it. After using this bag consistently over the past few years, I also can not say enough good things about it. Stylish, durable and so well thought out! The zipper placements, pockets, movable inserts- this bag is so convenient.
I had purchased the original Everyday Messenger years ago and the zipper started to fail. When I reached out to customer support with a picture they didn't hesitate to send a replacement of this upgraded product and everything I needed to ship the old one back.
After 6 years of loving my Everyday Messenger 1, I contacted Peak Design as the straps were failing. They immediately replaced my bag with a V2. Just the sort of company you need when you're a working pro and need to know that your back is covered when things go wrong. The V2 is even better than the V1 and is now my workhorse bag. Incredible bags, incredible customer service and a genuine lifetime guarantee. It doesn't get better.
I purchased the new Messenger Bag to carry my camera, lenses and computer for a biking fundraiser. It allowed me enough space to carry three lenses that fit my various needs in a protected and comfortable manner. So we’ll designed and thought out! I also love the company ethics!
I got a replacement for my faulty bag. Item came in a reasonable time. Unfortunately there was some thread missing in one of the dividers. Part was replaced almost immediately after I complaint about it. Thumbs up for excellent customer support! PD all the way!
very nice bag Merit: improved and more durable materials e.g. strap, zipper Demerit: very small in Front-pocket, lack of 15L messenger, lack of small pocket in the middle (comparison with Messenger V1)
