Amazing bag!
on May 13, 2019
Posted by: New to the Photo Game
I recently purchased this bag as I was heading to South Africa and was looking for a bag that would travel well as a carry on so my camera stuff would make it safe and sound. This bag way outperformed my expectations! I carried this bag all over the place, whether walking around Cape Town or in the safari vehicle in Kruger, this bag was an all star. Cannot recommend this bag enough!

Work and Travel Bag
on May 17, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
Work in the events industry and as a freelance videographer.
Perfect bag for lugging around gear and still being comfortable. Not having to worry about things getting wet is great. The design is well thought out and I'm finding myself using all the individual pockets and zips frequently. The compression spots are seriously useful when needing to minimise size for packing into vehicles.
Definitely worth it's money.

almost there ...

Since I liked the everyday backpack for photography tours a lot, although there's a bit room of improvement, I backed the travel backpack with high expectations. But I am not as fully content as expected. A few points:
- under a bit of load (not very heavy) the press buttons unfortunately don't hold, hence carrying the smaller sized looking backpack unfortunately didn't work for me
- if you swing the backpack round to remove the camera from the side the backpack slides much easier off your shoulder, especially if you carry the weight of a tripod on the other side
- the shoulder straps can't be as conveniently adjusted as before, they don't slide as smoothly,
- the side pocket for the tripod is less wide than that from the everyday pack and unfortunately, it's quite hard to fix it into the pocket, that was more convenient with the everyday backpack
- one can only access a camera from one side, being able to access at least one more lease would be great
- for travelling/on board luggage it works great, storing of laptop and other devices is really good, storing of shoulder straps too
- while traveling one usually only takes one (camera) backpack at a time and although the travel backpack nicely fulfils all usual travel/cabin luggage needs and has a good size, it is close but still not perfect as a camera backpack while being at your destination, for example the hip strap ist not padded well enough for carrying it a long day

AWESOME Travel Bag
on May 21, 2019
Posted by: Mickey
I've had this bag for six months now and this thing is great! Material handles well (still looks as new as the day I bought it). And this bag can just keep taking whatever I throw in it. 40L is a huge bag and this bag just keeps taking and taking everything I throw in it. This bag makes traveling soooooo much easier. For future enhancements, maybe release this same bag (with same features) in a 28-30L (with snaps to 20-22L) so it'll fit under the seat in front of you on a plane (for those shorter trips).

Great for travel but can be better

I love the feature that the top part of the backpack is collapsible. Which can make whatever ever in the bag tighter. I hope peak design can introduce a feature that can tighten the smaller patches in the bag so they will not move while in the backpack. For clothes it is also good to press them so the can get smaller. The collapsible top is not firm enough for this purpose

Best travel backpack ever
on May 27, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I've had 5 travel backpacks before this one, including a Fjallraven, Osprey, Quechua, and Kelty. I've been obsessed with finding the perfect sized backpack, with all the right features, and this one is it.
Buy this backpack if you are planning on doing serious long-term traveling, or just a casual weekend. It will satisfy both needs.

Great Backpack

This is a very good travel backpack. I've made two three days trips to Idaho with the backpack and everything I needed. Also had no trouble at airport with it. Great carry on bag.
