My most used bag
on July 11, 2023
Posted by: Oceanus
from Stromstad, Sweden
Bought it December 2019, and it instantly became my most used bag. It's very, very versatile. I use it to the gym / svimming pool several days per week, and as hand luggage when traveling. I even carry my assembled underwater camera gear in it, that works very well and doesn't scream "CAMERA GEAR" on busy piers. It has taken a lot of beating, and still looks good after more than three years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great travel bag! Love the pockets

I’m a huge fan of this travel bag that can hold a lot of my gear. The pockets along the side and inside of the bag are great for sorting and holding my stuff.

Wonderful Duffel

For reference I got the 35L. Absolutely great duffel that compliments all my other PD bags. Quality and materials are great. Plenty of storage and flexibility.
My only gripe is the handles. I expected a little more padding, and for the magnets to be stronger. If you’re not using the shoulder strap (which is very comfortable) it can be a little uncomfortable to carry. The handles are just a little firm and can dig into your hand.
But that’s my only gripe. It’s my go to weekend bag, and I’m really happy with it. Unapologetically Peak Design, and that’s what makes it great.

Gorgeous bag, hate the handles and magnet concept.

By far, this is the best looking duffel I've seen out there. Outside pockets are great, main capacity is...a duffel...wide open for loading however you see fit, material and craftsmanship live up to the PD reputation. Big gripe with this bag is that the magnets do not work at all to either keep the handles together or to keep the bag's top corners pinned down as advertised. Biggest grip with this bag is that the handles are oriented so that they sit on their edges in the hand. This was done so that the magnets could keep the handles together, but the magnets don't work and the handles, in that orientation, are senselessly uncomfortable and awkward in the hand. Even if the handles weren't in this orientation, the leather is still very stiff and uncomfortable for hand carry. I don't carry duffels in backpack mode, but I can't imagine these handles are doing anybody any favors in that mode either. This bag needs a redesign quick, fast, and in a hurry.

They need to fix the handles on the 35L Bag
on May 31, 2023
Posted by: Handles
from Toronto
I love so much about this bag but there’s two huge problems. I’m disappointed every time I pick up my bag by the handles. They aren’t comfortable and they never stay together. They’ve fixed this with the 65L bag. But they need to fix the 35L bag. I would buy a new on in a second if they did.
Also the clips holding the should strap have both broken but luckily you can feed it through the handle and it still works. Not at all ideal but it didn’t make the bag unusable. Needs to be fixed in a new version.

Perfect for traveling

I like the travel backpack style of traveling. Free hands means I can wheel and carry my wife’s overpacked suitcase much more easily! I owned another brand that I thought was well made, but wasn’t expandable. Enter the travel duffel.
Meticulously made with smartly placed pockets that hold way more than their size seems to tell you. The material is strong and durable, yet looks great. Just used it on a fly fishing trip to Colorado (caught - and released- some nice 6-8 pounders) and the bag was perfect.
Im ready for the UK soon, let’s hope my wife follows through with her promise to lighten up her packing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good quality but my experience in use was okay
on May 19, 2023
Posted by: Paul
I had the black version and it worked fine, but certain things made it less stellar than many of the other PD products I've used. The semi-rigid handle lost its rigidity after a few trips of use. The magnetic tab holders were nice in thought but they weren't strong enough to hold them down as I moved with the bag. With the black version, I had a hard time seeing the logo tab so then I often couldn't tell which side was which and opened the wrong external pocket. Feel like for the money, I would've been happier with a different duffel.
