High Quality

I bought this travel backpack recently and after using it a couple times I absolutely love it. Right now I'm using it for daily use as a gym and work bag and I'm able to carry all of my work items and gym gear in the same, stylish, and high quality bag without lugging around multiple bags. I bought the olive green color as my second choice since black was out of stock but now that I have it, I'm glad I chose this color. It matches all work color schemes and outfits.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Bag
on December 31, 2023

I bought this bag a month a go due to its compact size, its beautiful and elegant.
This bag is perfect as a day bag but for weekend trips proper packing plan has to be done to be able to fit all what I need.
The exterior zipped pockets is just enough for a wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses.
What I would like to have in this bag is to have deeper external front pockets with zipper or extra pockets with a zipper.

Travel bag - sage
on January 2, 2024
Posted by: Zachary
from TN
Just got this a little while ago, but am loving it so far! I’ve been using it with the medium camera cube. The medium takes up about 2/3 of the inner space and the extension must be unzipped to use a camera cube. This is a great size for me, as I just wanted something for day hikes where I could bring my camera(s) and still have space for other stuff like blankets, books, snacks etc. as always, excellent quality.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile but with some limitations
on January 5, 2024
Posted by: James

I bought this bag for travel, work, and weekend trips, and have used it daily for 3 months. The empty space of the main compartment is great, particularly when paired with other PD products, like camera cubes and packing cubes. The expansion facility is also useful when you need the occasional extra space. It's also comfortable, but you will want the hip belt if regularly filling it up completely.
The side waterbottle pockets work well. The accessory straps are OK, but sometimes fall out. The top pocket isn't big enough or secure enough - the bag would really benefit from some more organisation, especially on the outside. The outer fabric shows up marks to start with, but these seem to fade and no major signs of wear in 3 months. The lay flat to pack design is good when outdoors, but not so good in an office, and the base seems to kink, making packing harder. I'd have appreciated a laptop storage solution more like PD's Everyday Backpack.
Unless you need a smaller (or larger) backpack, I would choose this model over PD's Everyday Backpack or their 45l Travel Backpack. Overall, I was happy with it and now my trip is over have converted it to a photo bag, showing how versatile it is - with some inevitable compromises and a few quirks/kinks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best pack I ever bought -10/10!!!
on January 6, 2024
Posted by: OldGrant
from Calgary, Canada
I bought this pack as a replacement for my well used Lowepro camera back pack. It was “broken on a trip to SE Asia involving 9 flights and endless vehicle trips.
I was totally blown away by the utility and performance of the backpack and would have written this without out the incentive to win something extra.
Overall it’s less conventional and a bit different to pack but after watching the Peak video on the product it didn’t take me long to make a paradigm shift as to how a backpack should function and how it should/ could be used.
The pack is neat and easy to travel with even totally loaded/stuffed, it fit the dreaded airline overhead bin sizing jig. Moreover the magnetic arrests on the shoulder strap ended the problem of the straps dragging on airport floors or, even worse, getting unknowingly caught on the arms of airplane seats while making my way down the endless economy aisles on a plane thereby causing me suddenly to jerk and contort. 🙂
Carrying it was a joy because of the three nice handles which allowed travel options vs on shoulder - they are placed so the pack is nicely balanced.
I also liked that a couple of tech pouches fit snugly in the bag - one for filters and camera stuff, one for electronics, batteries, etc. The side pouches were great for my rain jacket and an extra socks, etc. I used the back pocket to hold travel docs and my iPad.
I have not one regret in buying this. Not cheap but using it proves it is great value and a joy to own.
The only unfortunate issue is that some good hearted bellboy or carrier luggage handler managed to separate the chest strap, which has gone AWOL.😐
