Peak Design charges high prices for their products, arguing that they offer the highest quality and well thought-out features.
The overall quality impression is quite good, but the strap connections made of plastic reduce my quality impression. I would have liked to have the same material there, as in the carabiner (probably aluminum).
Another point has struck me negatively. The feature is advertised that the capture clip can be attached to the bag. Unfortunately, when you do that, you prevent the zipper from running freely. This could have been better considered in the design and development.
Furthermore, I noticed that the quick release does not have a blocking effect in any position. Gravity and the pull prevents slippage. Therefore, the bag must be lifted and the pull relieved to change the strap length (you can also see on the videos).
In sum, it can not keep the high advertising promises for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Form over function
on August 12, 2021
Posted by: Mick
from Rusted Bible Belt
I bought the 6L to carry a Nikon Z and the 14-24 or the 24-70 f 2/8. They barely fit, but is functional for that purpose.
The outside pocket zipper is at the sloping top, so all of the space above the zipper is wasted. The sloped top also makes carrying a lens verically oriented impossible. The sloping sides also create wasted space, it's more like a 5.5L bag.
Since all of PD inserts are vertically oriented, you can't stack say a Nikon 50 mm Z on top of the 24-70. Oh well.
The bag is well made but falls flat on the design, looks great but with a large mirrorless lens the only thing I can put in the outside pocket is a tiny notebook and some eye drops.
There is enough room to carry the 14-24 S with the large hood with a 112mm filter attached. So it works for what I bought it for, a single lens and a Z camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Surprisingly poor quality

Useful bag but disappointed with quality - especially fabric. I've used the bag maybe 10 times so far but the fabric color is already fading especially around the corners. I think they use poor quality fabric to cut costs. Also the "hook" that is supposed to lock the strap is weak. My strap lengthens on it's own over time despite it being in the "locked" position.

Sling 6L Ash
on November 9, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
So first of all this thing is GREAT! Its comfy and i forget that im wearing it at times. Its very sturdy and tough. I like climbing all over rocks and stuff on the WA beaches and hikes that i do. I like to carry light with only essentials and this give me that and more. The best thing about this bag would be the way you can rearrange it inside with the 2 dividers it comes with. I ve tried so many diff setups its literally ENDLESS. I love that cuz i love to switch it up all the time. Especially with diff gear that ive got for diff occasions. Anywayyyssss highly recommend this bag. Im sure any size you go with youll absolutely love üëåüèºüëåüèºüëåüèº

Great Bag for Tefillin!
on September 7, 2023
Posted by: Schepps

I started using this bag a few days ago as a tefillin bag (tefillin are Jewish Prayer boxes that we tie to our arms and heads every day for morning prayers). With the dividers you can make perfect cells to hold each of the four boxes. The bag is very firm and protective, which I like. It's also the perfect height and firmness to use as a stand for a prayer book (both to rest a book on top as well as to lean against the bag with the help of the straps as in the picture). The zippers are very durable and pleasant to use, and I love the use of magnets for the inside pocket.
I'm not a huge fan of the front pocket. It is too stiff and hard to get a hand in and put things in. It would be nicer if it was softer and stretchier in order to properly use all the space in it. In the inside zipper pocket, I didn't find much use for the SD card holders being that they are very small. The biggest downside of this bag is the price, but you can't take 'peak' out of 'Peak Design'. Overall, I really love this bag and it elevates my prayer experience. If there are any Jews reading this, I hope this review was helpful. It is also a great bag for mivtzoyim!

3L fits my a7riii + 2 lenses but not perfect
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: Ktroopa
Pros: * Fits my a7rIII with a lens and I can pack an additional lens as well. * Bag is very solid and not flimsy at all(this is actually a blessing and a curse) * Built materials seem to be very good.
Cons: * The stiffness of the bag makes it difficult to add more things in the bag. Yes I can buy a bigger bag but I like the size of this. Perhaps a 4L would have been better if they made one. * Strap connector - I don't like their weird connector that they use to disconnect the strap. The metal clip they use is very thin and I don't see how it is much better than the traditional plastic connectors. It takes much longer to detatch. * Extensions - The hooks on the extensions do not stay on unless you tie down an item. This could have been implemented better. * Front pocket - It is very difficult to get things out of the front pocket because of the stiffness of the bag. Adding some sort of flex material for the front pocket would have been a better idea.
Overall, this bag would be perfect if it wasn't as stiff and if it was ever so slightly bigger. If I didn't get this as a gift I would have returned it ASAP.
