Loving it so far!

Taken it on two work trips, and have a few more race/remote work trips coming up I’m planning to travel with. Have loved this bag so far. Perfect amount of space to take as a carry-on for a few days, super accessible for on-the-go needs and stylish enough to take to client meetings. Thanks PD, team!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect in almost any way

I absolutely love this backpack in almost every way. It offers so many smart solutions for organizing, packing, and commuting. There are plenty of videos on YouTube showcasing how well it’s built, and all of that is absolutely true. The material feels incredible, and while placing a tripod in the side pockets does stretch it a bit, I’ve never felt like the material would give way.
It’s by far the best backpack I’ve ever owned. That said, it’s a bit small for me, as the waist belt sits a little too high for someone like me—a 1.90m tall guy with broad shoulders.

My trusted companion

I have had this backpack for six years, and it has been with me on a dozen international trips, many more domestic flights, and car trips. It only shows very minor cosmetic wear. The packing cubes make it easy to keep everything well-organized. I don't miss the days when I had to dig through a bag for a key or a document.

Great travel backpack and can serve double-duty.

My wife and I have two 45L travel backpacks and love them. We have used them on a number of multi-week trips but on a recent trip they served us well by doubling as a multi-day trekking pack. We hiked the Milford Track (4 days), the Routeburn Track (3 days), and the Abel Tasman (2 days) as part of a much longer trip and did not want to bring a second pack specifically for these three treks. The pack carried all we needed (food, sleeping bag, extra layers, pots and stove, tent, water etc.) and was really quite comfortable to carry. I know some people have complained that the shoulder straps were uncomfortable, but we found them to work great and the sternum strap and waist belt were super adjustable allowing us to shift the weight during our walks. The pack allows for great organization and we were able to fit everything easily inside in a compact pack vs. a lot of the much larger packs others used for the tracks that had gear strapped and hung from various points. We also liked the lack of straps etc. hanging out and dangling which is so common with hiking packs.
As it was New Zealand, it did rain on us, and we hade no issues with our gear getting wet. We had just a little wetness near the upper zipper, but I think that is because we did not have the zippers off to the side of the pack one day.
Overall, really impressed with the bag for travel (it's by far the best carry on bag I have ever owned), but also with its ability to be used on shorter treks. My wife and I hike, climb, and travel a lot and she says it is her favorite pack of all time. Thanks for the great gear!

My search may be over......

I've had my eye on this travel backpack for at least a year. I finally bought it as a Christmas gift to myself!! I travel monthly and have tried several packs. This one checks all the boxes and being a smaller woman, the waist belt was a big benefit for a pack this size.
