This backpack is a true gem! There is so much versatility built into the design and the quality is unmatched. I bought the 30L and as a small woman, it's sometimes difficult to get a pack to fit my petite body. I often feel like the straps don't adjust to my unique specifications. This backpack has completely solved those issues for me! I'm able to adjust everything so that the pack is customized to my body and even when packed to the max, it remains comfortable. There are so many different ways to configure this pack that I'm able to customize it for all of the various activities I could possible need it for. And the quality is really top notch! The materials are sturdy and the construction is really solid. I have no doubt this pack will last me for many years!
I got this bag several years ago, and use it ... every day of course. Mostly - it's holding out quite well, except for some abrasion where the bottom rubs against my lower back. The general layout is pretty convenient, especially for use as just a camera bag. My problem is when I want to carry a laptop, an A4 notebook and a camera. Putting the notebook in the main compartment doesn't enable me to put separators in there for the camera and lenses. If I don't carry the laptop, the folder can go into the laptop compartment. But not both. A bit of a bummer, which could probably be fixed in an updated version. How about it, PD guys?
I thought 'huh, you're enormous' when the bag arrived-almost like ordering a sausage dog and you get a golden retriever! But over the last few days we've made friends and are getting to know each other. One thing that stands out is the sheer intelligence of design and the superb quality. I'm looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship.

I bought this a few months ago, and I have already swapped out the photography slots to use this for a work trip. This backpack is so versatile. I plan to take it on an upcoming travel trip. It holds everything that I need.
I use my peak design backpack 20L for mainly travel. It fits pretty much everything I need with the expandable mag latch. With the included dividers and PD organizational tools everything has a perfect spot where it is easily accessible. I highly recommend this bag not only for the great looks but also the great organization it provides!
