Purchased the 35l duffel to help with photo cubes I bought. I have the medium and small camera cube. They fit well in the bag. Living in Florida this bag great for use at the beach and other shoots. No worries with setting on the ground when picking it up dirt, etc stays on the underside. Love having access through the top. Also great having a duffel for kick around use. Just pull the cubes out.
Good bag for overnights. Magnets on the handle could be stronger or the handles from the 65 liter bag that has the velcro wrap would be better. Other than that no problems.
Like everything Peak Design makes, this will exceed your expectations. It’s quality, and comfy, the straps work nicely, and the leather accents look great. There are multiple ways to carry it, sling it, throw it on like a backpack, or grab it on the nice leather handle with your hand. As for size, It has enough room for me pack at least for ten days. I highly recommend using packing cubes to get the best out of it. The only con is the price, but being organized on a trip and the build quality is definitely worth it. I’m looking forward to getting many years of use out of it.
I have gotten so many compliments while using this 35L sage duffel. It's a distinct look that looks clean. Materials feel high quality and durable. The duffel does have a bit more width to it than I thought, which is great for capacity but may take some adjusting to aesthetically when you first get it (when most people see it from the side though you cannot tell).
My last duffel had almost not organization. This duffel has good balance between the side pockets having small organization details while the main compartment and large side pockets maintaining the focus on holding larger objects. This duffel swallows up so much volume, yet looks sleek still especially when the magnetic sides are folded down.
My only gripe is with the handles - the magnets are too weak to be functional and the shape of the leather does cut into your hands a bit.
I love everything I've ever bought from Peak Design (and I've bought a lot), but this duffel bag stands out. It's simple — not bells or whistles — but it's solid, the material feels great, and it's just the right size.
