Extremely happy with this bag. Just used it on my first trip. Plenty of room for my computer, notebook and lots of additional storage for clothing, extra pair of shoes, etc. Everything seems high quality, material, zippers, stitching, etc. In hindsight, I should have purchased the packing cubes for it right away. Other than the computer storage pocket and small pouch on top for smaller things, the majority of the packing space is one large space. Not a knock at all, I prefer it, but the packing cubes would keep things organized much better in this space. Great pack!
Traded my 45L for the 30L and I am happy about it. I am on the shorter side and the 30L looks more proportional on me. What I like about it is that the placement of the top shoulder straps are above my shoulders, not dragging below my shoulders, and more balance on me. Now I don't look like a kid with an oversized backpack.
My husband and I bought these for traveling across Europe and we couldn't be more impressed. This bag is very tough, durable, and sturdy and served our needs while abroad. We used these for "one bag travel" and I'm so glad we spent the money because these made such a difference. The main compartment is surprisingly spacious and was able to fit my clothes for a 10 day trip. Not only was this bag perfect for our needs, but also provides the coolest aesthetics compared to other leading brand. Super impressed!
This is a well constructed bag. It can likely withstand any harsh encounters. Only negatives is that this weighs a ton when packed. Also, the clamshell design makes it difficult for quick access to items.
Love the structures bag with lots of space. Nice clean look and love that the shoulder straps can be secured. Although wish it had side opening like thw everyday bag, somewhat hard to get into the big compartment.
I was in the market for a bag and was between this 30L from Peak Design and a comparable product from Timbuktu. I am so glad that I went with the Peak Design. Not only has the product held up to several weeks of travel, but it feels so good on my back for long periods of time and looks sharp. It fits under the seats of most airlines and can take a weekend load and more. Highly recommend based on value for money.
Better than expected means a lot. I already have quite a few Peak Design items so I know that the quality is perfect. Yet, this bag exceeded my expectations. For a 1-3 night trip, I had the choice between a 20L backpack which was too small so I always end up taking a second backpack, or a 45L suitcase which is too big. From the photos, this 30L travel backpack didn't seem that much larger than my 20L Everyday Backpack and my 21L Moment Travel Wear backpack. But it is larger. A bit on the outside and a lot on the inside. And it even has nice compartments for storing small items as well. At the time of writing I haven't used it yet but I'm confident that it won't disappoint the next time I'm going to spend 1-3 nights elsewhere.
