Great bag
on April 6, 2019
Posted by: MAD
I bought this bag for a short trip to South America. The pack was roomy and I got everything in, plus some additional items I purchased on the road. I loved the different pockets, the security features and all the positive aspects that were mentioned before.
However, with a bag filled to capacity it became quite uncomfortable to wear. The shoulder straps were just ok, could use some more padding, but the hip belt never fit properly. I tried to adjust it several times, but it never supported the weight adequately. The belt closure mechanism was also cumbersome. That made the entire bag rather uncomfortable to wear. So here is my take so far:
Great bag if it doesn't need to be carried on your shoulders for a long time. Its definitely not a bag to hike endlessly through a city to a hotel.

I love it! There are so many compartments, for my camera, for my laptop. And all the smaller pockets for my headphones, and other travel stuff that I like to bring along. I also love that I can put the straps around my waist! I will definitely be using the travel backpack as my carryon for all my future travels! As well as I'll be planning on buying more gear from Peak Design!

Just used the backpack for the first time on a trip to Cuba, and it was perfect! I loved the versatility, accessibility, and comfort of the backpack. I was surprised at how much I was able to fit while using the packing cubes, and the straps were very comfortable for walking around town. I'm excited to use it in the future and see what other ways it comes in handy.

Love the Travel Backpack!

I haven't taken the bag on a plane yet but I will be giving the bag a good test for me with a 10 day trip to Italy at the end of May. I'm sure my expectations will be exceeded on that trip as they have been so far. Very comfortable bag to carry when full, easy to reduce/expand the size as needed, ease of access from either side, and being able to quickly and easily tuck the straps away. No complaints.

Perfect bag for me as I always travel a lot coz of my work. Can easily pack 2 weeks worth of clothes and very comfortable. Only gripe is its hard to fit my slip ons when the bag packed to tue brim.

I love this bag

I got my 20L everyday backpack stolen from my car at the end of last year and was devastated as I used it for, well, everything! So when I went to replace it, I wanted to get something that would allow me to use it for every day use, but also be my suitcase when traveling. And it just so happened that Peak Design had come out with this bag just as I was looking! Being able to go between a 30L and 45L bag is excellent, and it accommodates for quite a bit. The only thing I would say is I wish there were more "form" to the inside in a normal layout, as in pockets or some sort of dividers that can be tucked away like the internal pocket flap that add a bit more organization to it.

Expectations were high, They were exceeded.

This bag is fantastic. I travel almost every week and this is the only non-wheeled bag that I bring on every trip. Even fits my 17" laptop, which is difficult to find. I highly recommend this bag

Great travel bag

This bag has so far met all my needs during my travels. I've used it as my primary personal bad when flying and have also used it on a 1-3 day trips. I have yet to try to put it under my seat on a flight, but it fits great in the overhead compartment. Love how the straps can be tucked away so that it doesn't get snagged or caught on anything when not in use. All the pockets are useful and the side pockets fits my large hydro flash without any issues. Overall very comfortable no matter the load.
I've gotten the backpack a bit dirty and haven't attempted to clean it yet. Supposedly it's easy to clean with a wet rag, but I haven't tried yet.
The major issue I had was that the sternum strap kept coming loose. Eventually the time I didn't pay attention to it when it was store away on the shoulder strap, I lost the sternum strap. I'll have to replace it by purchasing a new one.
