Disappointed with bag design and "features"

Let me first state that I am a huge fan of Peak Design, have been for a few years now, and own several products from their lines. This was my latest purchase, and I am disappointed with the quality and it's definitely below the standard of Peak Design products that I am used to.
The bag is way too small and the magnetic closure prevents any chance for you to put anything in the bag before it snaps close. There is barely enough space in the bag to put anything worth to carry a day's worth of items. On the outside of the bag, the front pocket is a smart idea, but the execution is poor. The interior pockets are way too small to store anything of importance, and the magnetic closure is flimsy. Furthermore, the back pocket does not have any secure zip to close it up.
The straps of the tote are not removable, only the crossbody handle is. I would advise that if you were looking for a primarily crossbody tote bag like I was, I would avoid this because the straps are stuck down the sides and very annoying.
The pros of this bag is the ingenious straps that you can strap anything from a jacket to a yoga mat to. I like the sleek and clean look of the bag overall, however I find it quite impractical to use. Furthermore, the supposed dividers they provide are quite useless to me, I find it hard to believe that they are used on a daily basis, and often times it just gets in my way.
I ordered this for an upcoming trip--I've been looking everywhere for a smaller tote bag with a trolley loop. In the meantime, I've been using this for a work bag and I love it! It fits in my bike pannier perfectly and has kept my things nice and dry when I got caught pedaling in 2 different rainstorms. I can't wait to take it on vacation!
I was looking forward to having a nice camera bag that could handle a regular size tripod but it’s my fault I didn’t look closer to the ad to notice the person demoing the bag was using the small Peak tripod, not a full size one. For a tall person, the cross bag strap is too short by 12” to 15” making it fit too high under my arm. Lastly the bag is very deep and the top opening too small making it difficult to find anything located in the bottom. I’d return the bag but I’ve used it once and taken the tags off. On the positive side, the bag is very well made and I like the magnetic closures instead of Velcro.
Bought it as a bag to travel with my toddler. This is flexible and doubles up as diaper bag, or a laptop bag or both .. Really adapts to me and my wife's everyday carry need
Absolutely wonderful bag, such a thoughtful design and super comfortable to carry. Even when loaded it doesn't dig into my shoulders like many totes do. Would be even better if the laptop sleeve could fit a 16" MacBook Pro - I can still fit it in the main compartment but would be lovely if the bag was just a little bigger to accommodate it in the sleeve. Otherwise, it's top-notch quality and design. Thanks!
The bag is great. Because the bag is in black color, it would be a great idea if the PD tag is in bright color (not the same color as the bag) so that the tag has more contrast eye catching look.
A very nice EDC tote bag with a number of ways to carry. Good number of pockets. The only thing I might want to change will be the opening to the main compartment of the bag. It could be a bit bigger for easier access. Other than that, it is perfect.
