Disappointing
on February 8, 2026
Posted by: ben
Received this as a gift a couple months ago. I feel that the bag is highly overrated unless you’re using it just for photography. The partitioning system is cool and there bag feels high quality but i feel like it was just designed to be different, rather than to be as useful as possible. I find that it fits significantly greater things, and in a less organized way. Peak is allergic to zippers for some reason so puts them almost nowhere and instead favors pockets that “seal” with magnets. Fair warning: do not put anything small that you care about in these pockets because those items will slip out when you’re not paying attention. These pockets give you a false sense of security. The bag feels like an over-designed high-quality gimmick.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great bag for medical professionals!

This bag is awesome! It is marketed as a photography bag. However, it is a great bag for medical professionals. The customizable dividers allow me to make compartments for all of my high tech medical gear. I carry a digital stethoscope, digital otoscope with camera, glucometer, pulse ox, first aid kit, face masks, multi tool, first aid kit, and a 16 inch laptop with a charger. The velcro liner of the internal compartment allows for me to place a Velcro pocket for storage of my notepad or passport.
Not only is this bag stylish, it is very comfortable to wear. If you have ever been issue any type of military pack, this feels like a Cadillac in comparison.
The Midnight Blue color was on sale. So, with my veteran discount it made for a sweet deal. Buy this bag! You will love it!

Perfect for every day - inside gets stained easily

I bought the 30L version of the bag to become my portable office on the road (trains, busses, planes) with the option to also bring my camera for leisure time and I love it. I can compartmentalize as I need for every single trip, I have easy access to everything even in settings with limited space, to have two decently sized water bottle holders makes all the difference on a 10 hour train trip and when only using the laptop compartment for laptop and tablet, it carries a ton of groceries home comfortably.
What I have found is that the depth measurement presented on the website is wrong. It is not 27cm, but 23cm. This is a feature, not a bug, because I therefore can use it as a carry on luggage with bigger European airlines such as British Airways or Lufthansa (not Air France or KLM though).
The only drawback that I have after two months of use with my ocean coloured model is that the light inside stains easily and is nearly impossible to clean.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bulky backpack with limited internal space.

I bought the 30 L version of this backpack in Charcoal. Love the way it looks from the front. Would prefer if MagLatch was self-centering. Note that the 30 L capacity only applies with the top lid attached to the highest MagLatch anchor point. By default, this is a big backpack for the amount of internal volume you get. The rear panel being a flat piece of foam that extends way beyond the padded section looks silly to me.
Material selection and assembly quality are very nice.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Picky Criticism
on January 13, 2026
Posted by: Devo
from Winston-Salem, NC
I wanted to give this backpack 5 stars. Three things hold me back. First, both the exterior pockets and the laptop compartment feel tight for modestly-sized content (an 18-ounce Hydro Flask water bottle and a Surface notebook, respectively). Second, the interior dividers, while useful in their configurability, take up space and don’t lend themselves to defining vertical compartments. And third, my particular backpack looks ever so slightly asymmetrical, with the main compartment flap partially covering one of the side entrance zippers. This last criticism is admittedly picky, but it bothers me. The rest of the construction shows so much attention to detail, this little flaw stands out. Nevertheless, I like the backpack a lot. I was just hoping for perfection in a business travel backpack.
I would recommend this to a friend!
