I iwn twi of those, one for my camera setup, the other one as a diaper bag for my daughter. Need I say more? PS: Peak Design team, please design a way to properly mount that bag to a stroller ;)
I got this backpack from official website half a month ago. This is my fourth PD product. I like the convenience that PD brings to me. This year I will take my camera and PD series of products to take a lot of beautiful photos.
I’ve been using this bag for my gig needs, I’m a drummer and Percussionist but it can also work for Singers, guitar players or anybody who brings a backpack to every show. I usually bring my water bottle, Pandeiro, shakers, güito, percussion toys and other essentials. Also check out their other gear. Good quality + Life Warranty. I made a Review Video on my YouTube Channel.
I have a closet full of bags and packs because I haven’t been able to find the one that hits the sweet spot until now. I was ready to buy yet another pack and I was looking at Patagonia, Ofsprey, and other well reviewed packs. I literally stumbled into a Peak Design shop and found that thing I was ready to invest in. I like the hardware and the vehicle seatbelt like webbing at all the straps. When adjusting or letting off slack so I can swing the bag to my front to access to side access, it’s smooth and I no longer have the cringy scraping sensation of pulling course webbing through plastic buckles. I love that I can attach and cinch the chest harness strap with one hand. The size (30L) is perfect. You don’t actually have 30L unless you have the top flap at its highest setting (the top flap buckle is awesome ) which actually makes the size and appearance perfect for me. I really want as much volume as possible without it looking too big. I like the numerous loops to add more carry straps or even TSA locks as needed without it looking like a tactical back. The back both looks good in a professional setting and just sporty enough for the out and about. I don’t buy pricey things unless they are quality. I have had trouble finding something worth paying for until now.
Bought the V1 years ago, and was given the V2 as a warranty replacement. Even more pleased with the V2, and now my wife wants one. High quality materials, thoughtful design of features. I get asked about it everywhere.
I originally ordered the 20L but after my employer upgraded me to a 15.6 inch laptop, I needed the 30L version which is plenty big to fit the laptop and all the gear (photography and everyday carry) I need. Do note that the best the bag can do is a 15.6-inch laptop and a 13-inch tablet. The laptop compartment is pretty tight and snug so this may not suit your needs if you need to haul around more than one laptop. Otherwise, this bag is definitely recommended!
I bought the 20L version for travel for both photo and business. Guess I should have bought two? It is perfect for the laptop, tablet, headphones and all the charging cables we need to carry today on trips. The various pockets, the magnet snap-close, the interchangeable dividers all work so well. Great design.
