Nice Duffel Bag
on April 9, 2021
Posted by: Andrei
I like my new duffel bag from Peak Design. I bought it to replace a TUMI Alpha duffel bag which has a poorly designed shoulder strap with very little padding. Peak Design duffel has plenty of padding on the shoulder strap, making it convenient to carry on your shoulder. PD's duffel is not as spacious as Tumi's Alpha duffel, but it's ok. It's plenty enough for my needs. The handles could be better though on PD's duffel. I find that the handles don't feel as comfortable in the palm of your hand in contrast to Tumi's Alpha duffel which has a leather band around the handles. Overall, I'm quite happy with my new duffel bag from Peak Design.

Very good, needs better hand/backpack straps

This is just the right bag for most trips. Great material, great pockets, big enough, good price. But the hand straps needs work -- handles too stiff to hold by hand, and straps too short to use as backpack straps. If Peak Design developed improved hand straps as an accessory, I would definitely buy them, and this would become my primary travel bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gets Dirty Easily
on September 9, 2021
Posted by: ABC123
Like many others I love the bag. Side storage makes it so much more usable than my other simple duffel. I find that it carries well as a backpack as long as I do not overstuff the bag so that it can lie flat against my back. Well thought out and feature packed. I use it with PD packing cubes and they all fit in as advertised. It is a great travel system.
My main complaint is against the material. I live in Kenya and bought this bag to travel in the bush. I admittedly throw it in the trunk with a lot of kit and have strapped it to the roof once already. After a few trips, the material is showing a lot of wear, and not the nice wear of a well loved leather bag. It shows every bit of dirt and dust (same problem with the black camera cubes), and it does not wipe clean without water and a lot of scrubbing. The material is strong, but my beautiful, shiny bag is already looking tattered. The stylish design does not lend itself well to a worn look. If you have ever tried to keep a black car shiny, you will know what it is like to own this bag. I'm sure for normal use it would be alright, but I have friends with travel duffels from other brands that are much older but look much newer.

Perfect Multi-use bag

I bought one of these bags, along with a camera cube insert, to replace my backpack setup for my photography work. It turned out to be a much superior solution to my personal way of working! Its extremely strong, sturdy and yet compact. I loved it so much I bought a second one to use a normal weekender duffel! Ive convinced a couple of others to buy it too! Great job with this design and product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love all the little pockets

Overall great design. I like the different options available to carry the bag. The different compartments are a great way to keep things organized.
Would give a 5/5, but there is one small flaw. The over the shoulder strap is hooked on by a hard plastic hook. This hook broke once (although was quickly fixed thanks to the Peak Design team!). I think it would be optimal if the shoulder strap had metal hooks, identical to the metal hooks for the backpack straps.

Reliable companion
on July 12, 2022
Posted by: Chris Kuehl

I bought the duffel a bit over a year ago as my companion for business trips because I wanted something reliable, sturdy yet sleek and minimalist looking.
Not disappointed. I travel a lot for work as a consultant and this thing never seizes to amaze me. I throw it around a lot and don't particularly treat it nicely but it still looks pristine after all those trips - matter of fact it looks like I just bought it. The build quality is insane and the things I look most for in bags is reliability, utility and versatility. This is where PD really delivers.

The only thing I would change is the way the two hand straps come together. Though they are magnetic, I find it hard to hold the bag for a longer period of time with just my hands and because the handle are solid they move about in your hand causing friction.
Other than that - love it!

Absolutely beautiful

This is a truly well-built, beautiful bag. The compartments are thoughtful, hooks are in just the right place, and there is a lot of opportunity for customization with other Peak Design accessories.
I bought this for my husband to use as a daily work/workout bag. He used to take no fewer than 3 bags with him to work-one for lunch and his water growlers, plus two travel coffee mugs. Another for workout gear, and a third for his laptop and work items. It was all very disorganized looking and didn't reflect the professional he is. This bag along with a couple of dividers consolidated everything. He LOVES it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
