It could be a great bag but not for everyone
on June 3, 2025
Posted by: Vladimir

I’ve been always Osprey person because they bags are great in every detail.
I got Peak Design to be my all day long backpack for laptop, camera and lens and some accessories. I knew that I don’t need to use inside compartment dividers. Material looks robust and midnight color is my favourite.
First issue, my 17” laptop did not fit inside the back pocket. Unfortunately, this is my work laptop which I carry every day. Back compartment was big enough for 13”mac.
I liked small side pockets inside the main compartment but I didn’t find anything practical to store inside.
Full side zipper might be great if used with internal dividers to easily access camera. I didn’t find practical use for them because if I need quick shots I carry a camera outside.
Shoulder straps don’t hold and they need to be tightened often. It’s no big deal but still annoying compared to other brands.
Side outside pockets should be higher and made of mesh to be more flexible. I ended up carrying there only napkins because a bottle was falling out when I bend.
I did not find practical use from side holders. I carry backpacks on the back, not as a suitcase.
And finally the biggest disappointment is the lack of ventilation on back so it can’t be used for hiking (considering higher pace).

It’s the first backpack I was giving away to my sister. The bag was fine but not worth the money and there were more disappointments than wow moments.
The cost of the backpack is so high compared to Osprey or Deuter and they have many years of experiences.
Peak Design could find their customers but mostly from photographers.

Excellent backpack for everyday use
on June 4, 2025

Excellent backpack for everyday use. I use it as a diaper bag for my baby. It's the best one out there, plus the added bonus is that it won't get lost when my baby grows up. All the parents ask about it, and it's interesting to see the looks of admiration when I explain the bag's features. It's an amazing product.

Love this bag

I've had this bag since it's release. Out of all of my PD bags this is my favorite. I love the color, weight, shape. The color is tough to keep clean but just use a Mr. Clean magic eraser and take your time cleaning it. I get mine to come out just like when I purchased it.

Elegant, Smartly Designed, but a Bit Tight
on October 10, 2025

I love this backpack—it’s elegant, beautifully made, and incredibly well thought out for organization. I’m not a photographer, but I use it daily for work and appreciate the clean layout and smart pocket design. The laptop sleeve fits perfectly, and the multiple compartments make it easy to keep everything organized. My only complaint is that the 20L size can feel a little cramped if you’re carrying bulkier items like textbooks or folders; I’d probably go for the 30L next time. It can also be a bit tricky to reach some of the inner pockets, but overall it’s a fantastic, well-designed bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this bag!
on December 8, 2025

from Toronto, ON
I've only used this bag 3 times since getting it but so far I love it and it's perfect. I can fit my main camera body, my 35 & 85 prime lenses, and a flash along with extra space on top. This is great, because I can just leave all my extra lights and gear in my giant roller bag to only bring when necessary! I will be using this bag for a lot of things beyond photoshoots and can't wait to use it a bit more and customize my setup.

Such a well thought out piece of gear
on January 8, 2026

This is the most well thought out pack I’ve ever bought. It was an impulse buy while I was in Malaysia dragging around two separate bags for my carry-on/camera gear - now all my stuff fits into the one and it’s SO user friendly on the go. It also kept the contents dry in one of the most significant monsoon storms I’ve ever been caught in (with a rain cover on) despite the outside of the bag still getting really wet. Highly recommend making the investment!

Overall I’m a huge fan
on January 15, 2026
Posted by: Kjrice
I bought this bag after outgrowing the smaller version of this, and I love it. The color (dark blue) is beautiful, and the bag is big enough for my camera and a few lenses, but not so huge that I look like I’m going on a hike. I love the clamshell opening when I need it, and the flexibility of the shelves suites my needs. I appreciate the added straps for carrying extra cargo externally—great to have a place for a jacket or extra tripod when I’m on the job. My only suggestion for the next version would be to make the side pockets larger or more flexible. I can easily fit a small tripod in there, but putting in a bottle of water seems more cumbersome than it should be. Overall, I’m a huge fan.

Great for an EDC bag, even with no camera!
on January 20, 2026

I purchased this to be my new EDC as other bags typically only have a larger center compartment. Gone are the days of carrying documents and books for me. This allows me to rearrange the inside to fit the items normally in my bag without having weight distributed funny and everything shifting all the time. I also love the number of pockets, the specific laptop/tablet sleeves, and the two water bottles. It takes some getting used to (for the better), but the shoulder straps being on a hinge work better than I thought, too.
