Great bag
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: Canmin
I bought this about a month ago. Overall I love the bag and it fits both work and personal travel. I would have given it a 5 but the black does show marks fairly easily.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome features
on February 24, 2026

I’m excited to use this on my trip today. So many great and useful features. Places to put things, places to hide things, like straps, places to grab. Too many features to highlight. I can stow my computer and my tablet and have enough room to pack for several days clothes. It’s well made of durable material and looks beautiful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Feature-rich but heavy travel backpack
on February 24, 2026

This is an exquisitely put together backpack. Love the materials, love the look. It does what I need it to do, which is help me lug around luggage from the airport or train station into a taxi or public transportation and to a hotel if I don't want to bring a suitcase.
The common complaint about the padding being lacking is entirely reasonable, but given my use case and me being sized like a standard-issue male (1.79 m, 90-105 kg, depending on the season), I can't complain about discomfort.
It is feature rich, just like every PD backpack, and heavy for what it is because of it, just like most of PD's gear. Whether or not the features are necessary for you is a different question altogether. I don't, but the weight does not bother me one bit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for condensed packing for 3-5days

I bought this about a month ago for work trips where I have to travel on budget airlines as this gives me 8.5kg of capacity rather than losing around 3-5kg with a wheeled bag. I’ve used it on a couple of trips now and have been full up to 10kg and it’s been great
I’m 5’2 and I find the straps comfortable as long as I use the chest strap when I have it packed out at that weight. Love all the pockets inside which worked great for my various tech bits, makeup, and work odds and sods. I managed to pack for a 5 day trip in this including laptop and iPad and still had room to be bringing some extra samples back with me. Love the way it opens and there’s ample space for some PD compression cubes and a couple of the soft pouches too. My 6’ other half tried it while it was packed at 10kg and he also found it comfortable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Travel Pack

I love this thing! Used on multiple trips loaded with camera gear and others with just clothes. If it ever wears out I'll be buying another.

Amazing Bag!

This has quickly become one of my favorite bags. It is beautiful and functional. I have a rather large, bulky, laptop that isn’t easy to accommodate; however, this bag’s dedicated laptop storage handles it just fine.
I would recommend this to a friend!
