I've had my eye on this travel backpack for at least a year. I finally bought it as a Christmas gift to myself!! I travel monthly and have tried several packs. This one checks all the boxes and being a smaller woman, the waist belt was a big benefit for a pack this size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nearly perfect

I bought this bag to use as my carry on camera bag , when I travelled for three weeks on 8 flights and seven hotels. It worked very well with a medium camera cube inside. If the reduction press studs had held i would have said it was perfect, but other than that i am very pleased with the clean lines when the straps are stowed.

Great SCUBA Travel Backpack

I just took this bag on a three-week SCUBA trip, and it was great! It helped me stay organized and had enough space for all my gear and accessories. It was a breeze to get through airport security, even when the TSA wanted to examine it. During the trip, several friends asked about it and were impressed with how much it held and how good it looked.

Hefty, bulky, but spacious

I packed my Peak Design 45L backpack with 4 days of clothes and undergarments (which fit into my 1 Small and 1 Medium Peak Design travel compression cubes), a pair of sandals (fit into a Peak Design shoe bag), and a Peak Design wash pouch (the larger version).
With this setup, there was room to spare in my compression cubes, but the Small and Medium cubes would fit pretty much the entire interior if instead jam-packed with clothes (for me, this amounts to about 8 sets of clothes and undergarments). I opted for 4 changes of clothes instead so I could also take the other bags (Wash Pouch and Shoe Pouch).
As a 5'4" female, I found the 45L Travel Backpack pretty darn unwieldy. If sitting (e.g. on public transportation), the backpack on my lap comes up slightly past my chin, which is slightly uncomfortable. The backpack is also quite heavy with just the 4 sets of clothes and pouches I filled it with (note: with room to spare!). It took effort with momentum to swing it over my back every time, and was always SUCH a relief to put down.
I love the many pockets and the considerable interior space. I also appreciate the strong zippers and thick construction, but it really is a significant trade-off with how excessively weighty the entire package is. I really want to thank the designers for including the thoughtful waist straps that hide back into the magnetic back cover. They really save my shoulders a ton of strain. I'm not as enthusiastic about using the top chest strap, since it appears that it'd pull at the thread and fabric by design. Overall, I do appreciate all the features of this backpack. I just wish it were lighter (on it's own) by a good amount.

My go to travel bag

This backpack is high quality and packed with amazing features. From the access points to the shoulder straps with additional options to help distribute the weight. I use this bag for long weekends and as a carry on for majority of my flights.

Very high quality, comfortable enough

I bought this bag for traveling carry-on and really like it. Although the price is a bit daunting, the quality is unmatched. I am confident this bag will last. Also, you get a lifetime guarantee, so there's that in case something breaks.
One thing to note: This bag is not a hiking backpack, and does not offer the same comfort. The straps are comfortable for me (188cm tall), the bag rests well on your hips, the ventilation is fine, but a hiking backpack specializes in this stuff. For medium hiking, this is absolutely fine, but don't expect this to be a hiking backpack.
