Love all the different pockets, carrying weird
on April 24, 2022

Got this gor a 3 day trip. Size was perfect. All the pockets are great for organisation. Only the handles feel weird when carrying for a longer time. They cut into my hands and would have been better if they were ergonomically shaped or cushioned. All in all solid tho.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Perfect Sized Duffel for a short Trip

I bought the 35L duffel bag in sage about a month ago and have used it three times. The quality of the bag is top notch. I love the feel of the materials and it’s durability. I am able to get everything I need in the bag for a weekend and/or five-day trip. It is comfortable to carry and doesn’t feel too big. I mostly carry it by the handles because I also travel with a 20L backpack. The only con about the bag is the tote handles. The magnets are not strong at all and barely hold together. But this is minor and not a deal breaker since the bag has so many other great features. I would recommend the duffel bag. The sage is a beautiful color.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic, but two big flaws.

If I had a financial advisor I'm sure they would suspect that Peak Design asserts undue influence on me. I've spent that much money and have that much of their gear. Pretty much I love all of it Functional and beautiful in the best way - the beauty grows from the design, not just style for style's sake. I immediately felt love for my new (and still relatively untested) travel duffel. But there are two, nearly unforgivable, flaws that downgrade the review to 4 stars. The magnetic handles are worthless. They literally do not stick even at rest, much less in use. They are uncomfortable to grip when there is any weight in the bag (camera, laptop and a few clothes). This shows up in a lot of reviews which I assumed had to be wrong since Peak is always good! I was bamboozled! They are that bad and it is amazing that this hasn't been fixed. The other problem is that when you open the bag it doesn't, like a doctor's bag, stay open. You constantly have to use one hand to prop it open. Except that I like the rest of it so much I would return it. And maybe keeping it will turn out to be a mistake as the irritation grows with use. I love the main compartment and then the various side pockets for creating a good hierarchy. Materials are great. It looks sleek and I like the way it appears small and slim when you don't have much in it but grows upward as you pack more in. Peak (Lawrence, I'm looking at you!), how can you extoll those magnetic handles that don't stick together at all, much less stay 'snapped' when using? I do have to give kudos to the the website in general for clarity in explaining all the gear and Lawrence and Zona for their focused, comprehensive and fun video presentations.

Just get it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a handful of nice travel bags but this one moves up near the top. From appearance to function to sustainability, this bag checks all the boxes. It is fairly minimal and understated in appearance, which lends itself to a lot of uses and styling. There are a lot of clever and subtle details which help provide a number of functions and storage possibilities. Magnetic handles and adjustable straps with hooks, along with durable constructions are all here. Combine all that with it being made from recycled plastics and it's hard to beat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for a weekend getaway

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is perfect for a weekend getaway or an additional bag for a long trip. I flew from Chicago to Amsterdam last month and was able to fit this in the overhead which allowed for free space under the seat in front of me. The compatibility with travel locks put me at ease of mind when I used the train to go to various countries once on my trip.
And what stood out the most to me as far as uniqueness goes was that it was made from recycled plastics! Not many companies can boast this yet still have a stylish product. I am excited to use this for many years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Everything I wanted in a Duffel
on September 14, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I have a need for duffel bags as I have a lot of short 2-day work trips where I don't see the need to use a suitcase. The functionality is second to none, external pockets are a game-changer, and the packing cubes fit everything I need and more. Even after using both packing cubes there is a little space left over on top for my dress shirts, packable towel and travel steamer. BUT what I truly appreciate the most is the structure of the bag. It's able to stand on its own without caving in making the sheer usability fantastic. It is not like most that are just one floppy piece of fabric and this, to me, makes it the perfect duffel.

Almost perfect

Start with a small story. When I saw this bag came on PD YouTube channel last year. I told me self I have to get this bag for gym/work. So I set my self a weight goal. Nailed it!
So I have received the bag. Fall in love with it, After one trip on a plane with this bag I have noticet. That I find it's a little ruff on the edges. The handle straps falling apart. Inside the bag also seeing the stitching also coming apart. But after getting send a new one under warranty the bag has been great. Still could be better on the finishes but I'm still really happy.
