Love the zip backpack
on July 19, 2022
Posted by: Ceilidh
from Houston, Texas
Bought it about a month ago for my fiancé; however, he needed a bigger bag so I got it and use it for my work stuff and laptop when traveling back and for from my home office to work campus. The laptop sleeve is a bit small for my laptop but the laptop fits beautifully in the large open space and I stack my other items beautifully on top organized in their own bags and pouches (docking station, power cables, Kensington lock, mouse, extra mouse batteries, glasses, phone charger, notebook, pens - I am a pen freak so carry more than I need, and much much more!!). I even have a rain jacket cinched at the bottom. Love the additional anchor points in various locations all over the bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great backpack/purse

I have been using my bag for a while now and am glad to have the space and durability. Has been through rain and performed quite well. I ended up using zip ties to tie up the extra shoulder dangling strap.
I would love to see this in more bright colors with complementary zippers colors. The sternum strap got lost so I had to get another. i hope you start to sell them on the website.
I would make the size of the bag just a bit smaller for people like me with a smaller frame.

perfect backpack!

I have used this backpack for my urban birding walking trips to take my camera, binocs, water, and snacks and it is just perfect. I have the 20L (5'5", older, sorta chunky) and it works well with my body size. today I used the extra hip belt and that was great for support while walking to my destination (around 6km total trip). I also used the extra sternal strap and that was helpful to balance the quick-release camera clip on the left side. I love how everything fits together and is streamlined for efficient use. You can organize the interior so that it works for your equipment--so flexible and easy. This is the best back pack for birding that I've ever used!

One of my all time favorites and nearly awesome.

Bought the 15L awhile back and have used it on several trips now. Also an owner of multiple other PD bags.
Size for the plane is great, and bag gives me enough room for my legs since i’m on the taller side. Love the look, love the functionality of the zips (truly, it’s awesome). Great construction and it’s been very sturdy. The dividers are neat but take up a little too much room for me in the 15L, but definitely useful.
My only small complaints are: 1) the straps flap everywhere and could really use the magnets PD uses on other bags, and 2) i would prefer if the bag would slide over my carry on bag vertically instead of horizontally. Hope PD at least does the magnet straps in the future.
Either way, if you don’t have one, buy it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect size (20) for my mountain hikes
on August 11, 2023
Posted by: GormGorm

I'm tall and big chest and shoulders; I didn't want a full pack, but this 20. I have bear spray in outside pocket, a shaker bottle, inside I have 2 Yeti SS bottles, Nikon D850 with 50mm, Godox flash with diffuser, sundries, extra shirt. All easily accessible and not flopping around when crawling around on mountain side. However, I do have an issue with the sternum strap, in that the soft padded straps of the pack are not long enough for my torso and the lowest setting of the sternum strap hits my neck at times. If the soft strappy part of the strap were only 3 inches longer, it would be a perfect bag for the mountains, not too heavy, snug and nothing hanging off it to snag branches, rocks, etc on mountains. The sternum strap would sit lower on my chest if there were more areas to connect it to. On the plus side, this makes a perfect pillow when resting on the mountain top! I've used this bag on many hikes in the hills and mountains, and the strap length keeps coming back as my main issue. Getting water, camera, sundries is easy do with with the multiple zippers and (more importantly) handles to hold bag in different orientations while standing on a thin high trail.

15L stores more than I thought
on October 4, 2023

from Los Angeles
I was hemming and hawing between the 15L and 20L version of this backpack. Weight and size were important for me and I didn't want a bag what was bigger than what I needed. I currently used a 20L packable daypack and I wanted something that had more structure. I gambled with the 15L for the lighter weight and smaller footprint. I'm so happy that I did. It carries WAY more than my 20L. It must that space is so much more useful and organized. The only minor downside is if there's a laptop and ipad, the fit is pretty tight and it's difficult to get the laptop or ipad out with ease. Other than that it's perfect as a daily pack for work.

I bought the small 15l for travel with photo gear, bottle of water, raincoat and stuff you carry with you all day visiting. Great backpack big enough for all my stuff. Thanks.

I bought this for my wife because she kept trying to use my everyday pack. Marital harmony has now returned and we are now both proud and enthusiastic daily users of our respective bags. Nothing but good things to say about Peak Design!
