Daily Driver!
on August 16, 2022
Posted by: Shiki
from Canada
When I decided to get myself a nice tech pouch for daily use and for travel, I did lots of research before grabbing this one. People in reviews stated that this pouch was literally the best, but when I got it, it exceeded all my expectations. And I will tell you why. Let's move to the pros and cons.
PROS:
-Size! If you see reviews on Youtube, the main complaint about PeakDesign pouches is their size. It is probably too big if you are minimalist and don't travel with your gadgets around the globe, but for me, size is a the pros. I can literally store all the needed hardware in it. And even the Nintendo Switch for moments when I want to rest from my work. (watch photos)
-Smart design! The Acorderon organisation system is literally the best and I only chose this one because I need everything organised and easily accessible. I can just store this pouch at my desk and have everything I need nearby. Also, I love that the designs of wash pouches, backpacks, and duffels are quite the same, so you can look stylish and functional at the same time.
-Sling conversion! I love I can add straps to this pouch. Any straps, not necessarily PeakDesign ones. I added a spare shoulder strap and carry this pouch as a carry-on sling because I hate to put my hardware in checked baggage. Also, it's very comfortable at TSA; you just open it for them if they ask.
-Waterproof! Yeah, you always need it if you carry your gear to the airport or to work. Believe me.
-Charges on the go. I store in my tech pouch a 20K power bank and can charge everything I store inside and my phone in my front pocket on the go! Currently, I'm thinking about switching to 2x10K power banks for more charging options.
CONS:
-No cons for me, literally. People usually claim size and bulkiness but it's nothing for me. I needed something that big and that comfortable.

The perfect travel tech organizer
on March 16, 2023
Posted by: tuataratini
from Christchurch, NZ
Like others here, I searched far and wide for a good tech organizer for traveling and landed at PD. I ended up traveling for 4 of the last 12 months (and sadly working all that time!) and changing locations/sleeping quarters a lot etc. I found I was wasting a ton of time repacking small items, particularly chargers etc. I've used this organizer or my last three month-long trips and feel way more organized and happy.
I was a little intimidated by the size but it ended up being perfect for me, and I like that it fits in my peak design everyday totepack inside or strapped to the outside if I'm low on space.
I appreciate each little nook inside--I feel like whenever I travel I ended up picking up and needing some tiny items (in my photos: stickers, stamps, googly eyes (?!), airtags, paperclips, lock, currency and bus passes...the list always goes on) and I love the zippered pocket for tucking the smallest items out of sight. Each pocket feels like it is perfectly sized and there is always one more.
A few tips from looking at other reviews:
• Green doesn't seem to get too dirty
• For me, thinking about where to put each item helped a lot with this pouch--otherwise it will turn into a black hole.
• I love the idea of a slimmed down tech pouch others have mentioned--this is perfect for me but if I weren't working while traveling I think it would be excessive
• Fits an iPad mini as well if you don't overload the side it's on

PD: I don't find myself using it when I'm not traveling, so perhaps a smaller one could be useful for in-town days too.
I cannot say enough good things about this bag if you are traveling with a lot of small items and/or tech and chargers and highly recommend.
My one critique is no need for the leather tab--makes everything unnecessarily animal product based.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Too bulky
on July 1, 2019
Posted by: Brad
I hate to say it, but this bag is just too bulky and over-built for what it needs to be. I wanted to use it on a recent trip but because of its size I couldn't fit it i the travel backpack. I ended up switching to a Vanquest bag that is much smaller and I was able to fit in twice as much stuff.
There is nothing wrong with the construction, it's just too darn big.

NOT your EDC Pouch
on December 20, 2020
Posted by: AiRo
Only Negative point about this bag is its size. Its too huge for Everyday Carry. I would rather carry 2 small pouches than carry this tech pouch. Once you fit all your stuff in the pouch, the pouch will eat up half the space of your backpack. This is very handy for travel, but not for everyday use. If you looking for a pouch for everyday carry, look elsewhere. Apart from this, I have no complaints. Well build with great materials.

One more suggestion...
on March 20, 2021
Posted by: Bryan
Please consider carrying over the hook from the Wash Pouch. It takes up very little space, but adds huge utility. So much, in fact, that I've considered switching their roles. How? Look at the tray latch on planes. There's a little slot there that will take a thin cord or - you guessed it! - a small metal hook. This allows the pouch to hand directly in front of you while the tray is up (always is for me). I use a small loop on a competitor's pouch to do this and would be happy to share a picture to show what I'm describing if you like. But the hook would be even better.

So great I bought two
on November 16, 2019

Got one Tech Pouch to carry all the cords, readers, drives, batteries, pens, lint, and other accessories associated with being a photographer/filmmaker. Love this little bag so much I bought a second one to better organize everything.
I've stuffed five batteries, a hard drive (in another case), a plethora of cords and card readers, and a menagerie of other items into this pouch and it never seems to be "too full" like other bags I've used. So many pockets and sleeves to organize all the gear.
Subtle handles and attachment points on the exterior. Bombproof materials. Seem like very high-quality craftsmanship. Steep price but I imagine this bag will last a very long time under the abuses of everyday use.

Best trapper keeper ever
on October 31, 2020
Posted by: Home_slice
My girlfriend rags on me about my addiction to little bags and thinks that I'm trying to make up for the lack of organization in the rest of my life. She's write but if Peak Design ever comes up with a system for my taxes, I'll buy it right away.
Truth be told, I've had a lot of different tech pouches in my day and this is the best of them. It's incredible how much you can fit in this thing without feeling cramped!
The one thing I wish (and this has nothing to do with the bag) is that peak design would put out some black on black strap clips to match this new line. I have little red circles attached all of my favorite stuff and much prefer the subtle (no) branding or color splashes.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pretty well made. Helps organize all of my tech accessories. As an interesting side effect, I notice that I've moved a lot of items from the side compartments of my EDB into this pouch which then eats up valuable space on the inside of the bag. Depending on what type of travel I do, sometimes using the side pockets is better off than the additional overhead of this pouch. With that said, this is really well designed and made. Lots of pockets and dividers. I find I use it more at home to organize frequently used items as opposed to traveling with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
