Early...but great so far!
on November 28, 2019
Posted by: Rich
I do bi-monthly business travel, with some long-weekend family travel thrown in, as well...and had grown tired of lugging around both a roller suitcase AND my messenger bag. Enter the Travel Backpack. As I purchased the Travel Backpack recently, I've only had the occasion to utilize two times...but so far so good. I love the features, although I'll admit to being a little overwhelmed by the amount of features - sometimes wonder if I'm utilizing the bag as intended by the clever designers. 'Probably get better at this over time. To maximize the utility of the Travel Backpack, you really do need packing cubes/bags...which I don't have yet, but do plan on buying eventually.

Great Motorcycle Backpack
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I've owned a 20L Everyday Backpack for over a year and it's been my main bag for camera, drone and everything else. After traveling with it on my motorcycle, it didn't have the volume to carry gear and clothes and shoes. Also, the straps on the Everyday Backpack were hard to put on with a motorcycle jacket.
I used the Travel 45L with a small camera cube, change of clothes and shoes on a 3 hour motorcycle ride to Monterrey Bay. The weight was balanced and the bag had very little drag. The straps were very comfortable and did not fatigue my shoulders. After riding for a few miles, I forgot I was wearing the bag! I had plenty of room for more clothes and gear, but kept it light because it was a long trip. I like the waist straps much more than the ones on the Everyday Backpack because they offer more support and I loved having my Capture Clip connected. The Capture Clip also can stay attached when the strap is stored in the back slot of the bag. The handles are located in great places to grab and go and the additional straps have anchor points all over the bag to attach large items and they clip on with a confident snap feeling. This bag is much more comfortable than the Everyday Backpack even being over twice the size which I did not expect. This might replace the Everyday Backpack for me in the long run! Great bag! Good job, Peak Design!

Convenient, efficient and really good looking bag

I've been looking for the perfect bag for me and this is definitely it. Not only is it an amazing travel bag but for the amount of gear I carry this ended up being my everyday packpack.
I usually keep a medium camera cube and tech pouch with me at all times and I compress the top of the bag. When traveling I uncompress the top, add a wash pouch and add some clothes to the front of the bag. On family trips I change up the medium camera cube for the small one and fill it up with packing cubes.
I just like having the flexibility and ease of being able to quickly swap and structure the bag the way I want with all of the packing tools. Without having to unpack and make a mess, everything is organizing, swappable and packing is has turned into just placing the camera cubes,pouches and packing cubes that already have everything packed and just placing them in my really good looking packpack.
Great investment, amazingly desiged product.

Confortable good looking bag
on November 20, 2019

The PD Travel Backpack is definitely the product I was looking for to replace (at least in certain cases) my Everyday Backpack.
This is a bag that not only looks good, is very confortable for its size, and feels durable and solid. It has a decent amount of space and it doesn't look awkward in your back when is fully loaded.
After my first trip with it I end up very happy and I'm sure I'll take it to the next one.
Pros:
- Good amount of space without compromising the looks
- Solid construction and well finished
- Lots of pockets and ways to distribute the space with cubes and pouches
- Very comfortable even when is heavy

Cons:
- I found difficult to access the laptop and tablet specially when is in the cabin top compartment and all the weight is on top of the devices access (couldn't take out my tablet and had to took it out of the compartment)
- Is heavy even when is empty
- You lose space when using the cubes and pouches

Designed to...well...WORK.

When I first got my bag, I picked it up and explored every nook and cranny of the thing trying to map ahead where I could put what packing for a trip, and something occurred to me while doing it. I didn't have to. It was like if I took time, carefully thought ahead, and designed this bag for myself.
It was like I have already owned and used the bag for years.
Everything was where it made sense to be.

Quality of materials and zippers are an A+ too.
The look of a minimal sleek design is always a plus. Even if it's packed full, it doesn't look or feel that big, like other bags can...
Extremely comfortable for long hauls.
Almost too easy to get through airport security and flights with it, compared to some other bags and especially suitcases.
I've been able to get rid of my suitcase and other backpacks in place of this one, which tremendously helped minimize my storage use at home.
It's a steep price, however if you're like me and you USE your backpacks for 10-15+ years, you won't be disappointed.
Spending it on something like this, which will make those 10-15 years of use much easier is worth it to me.
