Almost perfect
on March 2, 2022
Posted by: 42
I bought this a month ago and am happy that I did. I wanted it for everyday carry to/from work on the subway. I’ve also taken it on a weekend trip by plane.
Pros:
I like the side access so stuff on the bottom of the bag is reachable without unloading the entire bag.
The internal dividers add organization, even though they get in the way sometimes.
The keychain is a very convenient place to put my keys because the strap system works well.
The side handles make it comfortable to hold the bag in tight spaces on transit.

Nits:
The bag’s still a little stiff opening the top pocket, but maybe it’ll improve over time. It feels like a very narrow gap and it’s hard to see what I’m grabbin in there.
The side pockets are hard to access unless you use two hands, which makes it inconvenient to use them for masks or AirPods when on transit. Combined with #1, it means there are essentially zero quick access pockets on this bag that are convenient with one hand.
I don’t think I’ll be able to use the laptop holder for a 16 in MacBook Pro. It feels very tight with a 15 inch in there as is.

The bag doesn’t feel like 30L because to achieve that I think I’d need to remove the dividers and use the topmost latch. I’m not sure I really want 30L for an everyday carry, so this is fine, just something to note.
Overall, the bag is almost perfect. Though it requires some habit changing due to the innovative design and is a bit more inconvenient for quick access than I had hoped, I still enjoy having it.

Good daily backpack

I like the backpack. There are a couple of issues. 1. The chest strap does not stay taut. 2. the side pockets need pull tabs (or a little slot on the outside the you put your finger in to pull the pocket out) so you can put a water bottle (or anything) in them w/out sliding the object against your fingers (maybe I'm doing it wrong?)

Best backpack ever, hands down.

I've had the larger sized, everyday backpack for about a month now and I cannot say enough good things about it. The flexibility of the inner sections is a total game changer. I no longer need to jam stuff in or stack it up and then have to dig for my gear, notebooks, or whatever I'm carrying. The side openings make it even simpler to find stuff. And the tons of pockets, make it easy to carry everything I need. The straps are easily adjustable and can carry my work laptop and personal ones handily. I really love this product - it was extremely well thought out. My only challenge (and I am stretching here) is sometimes when its fully loaded and I am putting it on my back, the left side strap occasionally reverses and I have flip it over. Like I said, I am stretching to find anything that needs improvement. It really is the best bag ever.

Loving it so far.

I've only had it for a few weeks and really enjoying it as a daily carry, the flexible compartments in the main pouch really are super useful to have. Pricy but worth it for me.

Well made and stylish but subpar should straps.

I use this mostly for daily carry of a laptop, lunch + a few personal items. For that use case, it's a pretty nifty bag. The only issue, however is that even with modest loads, the shoulder straps (and useless sternum strap) are pretty uncomfortable. I've found the weight threshold of discomfort to be about two six packs + computer. Anything more than that had better not be for long.
Keep it light and you'll be fine. Mine is the 20L. Be wary of the larger version - that would be too easy to overload.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great bag for travel and daily communting

Love this bag! It's perfect for small trips or for my daily work
Pros: lots of space (i have the 20L), awesome design, smart pockets and magnets, customizable space inside
Cons: it's a quite heavy bag. I would love to have a lighter version for hiking (maybe with less rigid material). I don't mind the weight for small trips or daily work but would not use for long hikes

Conclusion: definitely recommend it for small trips or daily commute

Everyday Greatness

I have both the V1 30L and the V2 20L. The V2 20L is my daily driver. V2 sides don't open as flat/easy and some of the details (external carry straps) are plastic instead of all metal like the V1. but lots of upgrades in other ways. They both are really high quality products. I had a minor problem with my V1 and Peak made it right immediately. I was really impressed by this. They stand behind their products. I have so many peak products. Highly recommend.
