I have 3 of the V2 Field Pouch and 1 of the V1. I had the V1 for a while and loved it, but by the time I got my first V2, they were starting to phase out the V1 and I couldn’t get any more. In my opinion, the V1 looks better, is easier to get in and out of, and has more space. Most of that isn’t a deal breaker because I have 2 Tech Pouches for bigger stuff and the V2 is still a great product, but I do wish it was more like V1. What we needed was more of a V1.5 rather than a V2. That being said, I still liked it enough to buy it 3 times and would still recommend it. If you organize it well, you can fit quite a bit in it, and like all Peak Design gear, the flexibility is limitless. From shoulder carry, to belt carry, to capture carry, this can go anywhere you need it to go and it’s still slim enough to fit nicely in a bag, layered with other similar sized gear.
Bought several weeks ago and never missed a day using it as my EDC bag for everything i want to carry with me, without stuffing it all into my pockets. I like the flexibility to add more space, if needed and like all products from peak design: simple, clean and elegant design. The Velcro works great for me and until know i didn't have any problems with it. When carring cross-body a addtional pad or something like that added to the strap would be great, to avoid irritation on the neck if carried over long time. I can highly reccomend the Field Pouch V2.
Bought this to complement the travel 30l backpack I got as well, and its well made, fits stuff I would need for a small day trip if I don't want to take the bigger bag, and the capture clip anchor points are very nice. Only wish the belt loop would have a slightly different design so that it could be hooked onto the PD hip belt I used with the travel backpack, so it can be used as like a front pouch easily.
Great size and I love that I can attach my camera strap if I want! I also love that I can use the capture clip to attach my camera. Very functional and great quality products that all work together.
So I was looking for a simple, affordable, hip and body pouch... The PD field pouch was the answer. I actually looked at brands that were 4-6x more expensive but all had serious compromises. The Field Pouch v2 is everything I needed.
I travel the world for my work and I needed a small pouch that would hold the essentials and make airport security easier by allowing me to have empty pockets. In the pouch I carry my passport, 2 wallets for currencies, my phone (Surface Duo 2), a fold flat UK usb charger, 9ft charging cable and a bag of sweets for the plane. I added a nice small carabiner to clip my water bottle to.
