Love the size of this backpack and the ability to turn to 45l when needed. Works even better with my peakdesign packing cubes. Love the sage color too!
The amount of thought that went into designing this bag is immediately apparent. The bag is very accessible, comfortable, holds a ton of items without feeling bulky, and just works better than any other travel backpack I have used. On top of that, the quality of the materials is great. Highly recommend this bag!!
Im already obsessed with bags but the Peak Design bags are still my favourites over all. For every situation I do have the right Peak Design bag. I love them and I love them to use.
Traveled Europe for 2 weeks out of this amazing bag. Super Comfortable to wear, easy access to everything yet secure. Couldn't ask for a better travel bag!!
I bought the bag and a couple of cubes primarily for photography. I almost never use it for that. The companion packing cubes are a magnicent pain in the rear to attach inside the bag using the supplied c-clips, hence I almost never use it. The idea is that the camera is easily accessible from the cube via one of the side flaps. Great idea in theory but almost completely impractical in realty. Speaking of the camera cube, I have not been able to find an arrangement that suits my kit nicely despite the plethora of velcro dividers supplied (Nikon D7000 plus 2 lenses). Using the camera cube as a built-in to the bag requires you to fold the top of the cube back around the cube, but the system is clumsy at best. The zippers on the internal mesh divider are small and very hard to manage, inhibiting easy access to the body of the bag. Most of tge time I leave the mesh divider rolled up in the bottom of the bag. Again, clumsy. And last, the button snaps at the top for shrinking the bag are extremely hard to snap. But that's okay because they come unsnapped almost immediately - useless. Despite all the above, I like the bag and use it often for air travel ... just not for its intended purpose. I bought the bag and companion camera cube despite its very high price because I admire clever design. But in this case, I think Peak Design was being too clever by half.
I bought this bag about 2 months ago and have been incredibly happy with the purchase. The bag is versatile with features that work for just about any use. I'm primarily using the bag for work travel (typically 2-4 nights away from home). It's perfect for packing clothes, laptop, and other necessities. I never have an issue getting overhead space for it, and it also fits easily under airplane seats in a pinch. Also, the YouTube video to show the bag's features was very helpful to get up to speed quickly.
