I have bought the totepack a month ago to replace my backpack and I definitely love it! It's compact with a great use of the space and the design is amazing.
I needed a bag I could carry on a plane that wouldn't look like a typical camera bag. I considered the backpacks but landed on the Tote Pack because of its versatility, and I couldn't be happier. Here's what it holds: 2 Canon 5D Mark IV bodies with lenses attached (a 24-70 on one, and a similarly sized lens on the other); 1 Profoto A1 flash; my new Peak Design Travel Tripod; a 13-inch MackBook Pro; an iPad; and various small items in the outer pocket (keys, a couple batteries, memory cards). I also picked up the Tech Pouch at the same time, because I had a feeling the Tote Pack wouldn't hold all my cables and stuff once it was fully loaded, and I was right. So, I can lash the Tech Pouch to the outside of the Tote Pack if I really need to load the Tote Pack all the way. I love that I can use it as a backpack for walking around or, when I'm ready to board a plane, stow the straps away and make for super-easy stowage. Honestly, it's the perfect bag for my needs. I have a ThinkTank International rolling bag that holds EVERYTHING, but it's way too heavy for me to lift and put in an overhead bin, and for most shoots, I really just need a couple lenses and a couple bodies, and that's what the Tote Pack lets me carry. Plus, it just LOOKS good.
I purchased this bag because it is so versatile. I use it as a work bag and it can easily switch to a camera pack if I decide to go on a hike and take my camera and a few lens. Fits my big 70 - 200mm Canon lens. I was a little nervous about the light beige color collecting dirt, but overall, the fabric seems to resist dirt! Very, very pleased. I have several PeakDesign products and this one lives up to quality and feel I expected.
I have tried out different backpacks before. But quality of the totepack has exceeded my expectation. It's durable and water resistant which is good for every day carry. You can easily access your stuff from top and both sides. I love those fold divider! They allow you to arrange your item based on the size and shape. This bag is perfect for anyone looking for a stylish and functional bag for everyday carry
First of, I bought this bag from Peak and had to cancel the order because it was in back order but the system didn't show that it was back ordered. Then I got it from a Peak design authorized dealer and got it on time for a trip to Madrid. This bag is comfortable, light, and spacious. And also it is safe for my photo gear. Now, the issue that I have with it is that the front pocket zipper isn't easy to close. The main reason being that the front part of the bag where the zipper is sitting gets a little wrinkle and you don't have hot to stretch the bag back to be stretch so you can close the zipper. So, if you were going to carry small stuff there like your glasses, your wallet, batteries etc... it is not practical, you can't do it with one hand, etc... so as a everyday carry... I don't recommend it.
I really like this bag accept if I modified the dividers from vertical to horizontal thus the bottom space almost unusable due to the zipper limitation.
