Love the design overall. I wish that the strap was thicker, but its manageable. Also wish that the spots for the camera clip were better thought out because the top flap gets in the way of where the camera is when closed. But realistically, if I'm going somewhere where I wanna clip on my camera, my pouch will be relatively full, and in that scenario the top flap hitting the camera is not an issue.
I started off with the very first field pouch and when the Velcro failed Peak honored their lifetime warranty by sending me a new V1 redesigned pouch! I have carried the field pouch in some capacity every day since then and it is still rockin! I decided to jump on this V2 pouch because I was intrigued by the redesigned interior pouches. It does not disappoint! I'm really happy with this field pouch. The changes were thoughtful and meet my needs better than before. I like freeing up my leash with the included strap. Changing the zipper pocket to the other side makes it easier to access and utilize. The 3 stretchy pockets are great for isolating keys, chapstick from the center. If you are a Pentax Q shooter those 3 pockets will hold 3 lenses and theres still rook for the Q in the center spot! #pentaxQ4ever
Field Pouch V2: Upgrade is not that revolutionary.

I am going to rate it 3 stars, as i was going to buy the first version, what stopped was the size, this one is V2 but the upgrade is so limited, the outside can be designed with some webbings to attach something more or pen slots or whatever, the inside, the material for the SD card or battery slots are just common wide garter that in time will the first to go as the rubber will become weak in the future. This can be a forever pouch if the inside is designed better. The main material for the pouch is always fantastic, the sling is good. Your ultimate thinking is always to include that catch mechanism for an external device dangle, this is strong, but the inside is rather more important to me... I tried several pouches, a lot are designed and built with the same material used outside for its longevity.
I like all things Peak Design—they are truly well thought out! This is a bit smaller than I was hoping, but it makes a nice sling pack for the essentials.
I needed something small and easy to carry for the iPhone, small wallet, mask and Key FOB. This is perfect and also looks sharp. I use it like a sling bag.
