I am one of those shoppers who likes to do extensive research before purchasing just about anything. A couple of my friends have had their peak design backpacks for about three years and its amazing how well they have held up. Being a professional designer (and amateur photographer), I wanted a backpack that could withstand my travels and had overall smart design, which this backpack definitely does. The price is more than I would have liked to spend, but after receiving the product, the incredible quality makes it well-worth it.
Great idea for the design, but be aware that it is not suitable for long distance. Very uncomfortable once on your back. Back side of the bag is too straight and the shoulder straps are too thin. I used it for a 5 hours hiking (an easy one) and I had marks on my shoulders and pain during 24 hours.
That's a great bag overall, the comfort must be improved for the V3.
Use it everyday, fly often 150K+ miles a year, works perfectly for me. Holds Laptop, Camera, 4 lens, accessories and all my quick access travel needs. Thanks for a great product!
I came from a Northface bag that had plenty of internal storage and 2 front pockets. Owned that for 11 years. Finally decided to get a new bag and was worried about not having the front compartments and wasn't super sold on the compartment system of this bag but decided to give it a try. I LOVE IT! The compartments are super versatile and make grabbing exactly what I want quick and so much easier than digging around with the Northface. Won't ever go back!
This bag blows my previous bag out of the water. Easily fits all if my gear that I need it to. So much more comfortable then previous bags I have used as well. As of now definitely made a customer for life not to mention I do own other products already as well. This company is definitely doing things right!
