Bags Ain't Just Bags
on February 26, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I must admit that I was hesitated in purchasing the 45litre bag along with the medium camera cube because of the price, but as I have been so pleased with my 2 captures and lens kit, I thought maybe it's worth the risk.
The first notable thing upon receiving my bags were the quality of workmanship and materials used to produce these well designed and functional bags.
I have so far been on 3 weekend hiking trips with the bags being slammed full of camera gear and clothing and it has performed faultlessly every time I've needed to retrieve anything from the bag, whether it's still on my back or on the ground.
I especially like how the bag easily converts from backpack to shoulder bag so you can access the side openings to retrieve your camera without taking the bag off.
I couldn't think of a more fitting quote for these bags than, The quality will remain long after the price is forgotten.

Super bag
on February 26, 2020
Posted by: Lucie
This bag is amazing. I love the simple yet well-thought design.
I love the number of access points and the total inner customization. It has enough pockets. The side pockets are deep enough, keeping you stuff in.
It works great with the cubes. I can pack for a week and still have space left.
If that's not enough you can expand it or shrink it or mount gear on the outside.
It fits in the over-head bin making it a nice carry-on.
You can carry it any way fits you.
I have done several travels with it and it still looks like new.

Travel backpack, zipper is rigid
on February 29, 2020

Good, but I don't like the zipper because it is rigid at the corner. It makes me less easy to open and close the bag.

Great Bag Missing the origami dividers
on March 2, 2020
Posted by: Dustin
I use this as an everyday carry bag going to and from work via vehicle and as a one bag travel bag as well. This thing has been on 8-10 weeks of airplane travel both business and personal, as well as being hucked in and out of a car everyday since November of 2018. Haven't had any problems with the bag so far.
Some people say the straps may be a little flimsy and they would probably be correct comparatively, but I have never had any issue with them and like how they hide away to nothing.
I like all the organization and the ability to move the origination out of the way when going to bucket mode for max volume.
Thing I wish it had was the velcro origami dividers like some of their every day bags. Also kind of wish they had the origination on the side flaps like the everyday bag. I think this would add to the bags experience.
Travel Example. Medium packing cube bottom of bag then origami divider installed above that before all your toiletries and tech. Help keep stuff in place
EDC Example: Origami dividers and side flap organization would be much more functional from the side access pockets during everyday use as well as add to the quick access functionality. Same reason you have them on the Everyday packs.

45L TRAVEL BACKPACK - EVERYTHING YOU WANT!
on March 3, 2020
Posted by: Eric
This bag is ideal for all types of travel. The simple yet extreamly well laid out and design of it keeps you organized while giving you the space to pack so much. I was always hesitant on purchasing a backpack for traveling as most times style is compromised for function. This bag is beautiful and timeless, Im so excited to have it as my main travel piece

Great backpacking backpack.
on March 5, 2020

Just got back from a 10 day backpacking trip through japan and Thailand. This backpack has seen the rain of Tokyo to the hard wood of a boat roaming through the ocean in Thailand.
I got this backpack along with the small camera cube and medium packing cube and it all works really well. I'm impressed with backpack's ruggedness so far only time will tell how durable it really is.
I got this backpack along with the small camera cube and medium packing cube and it all works really well. I'm impressed with backpack's ruggedness so far only time will tell how durable it really is.
The only reason this backpack doesn't receive 2 stars is because:
1. The straps are too thin/ uncomfortable. Pretty much the same straps from the everyday-backpack but with A much larger load and volume size. Makes it uncomfortable to carry all that weight.
2. On day 3 of backpacking one of the metal buttons on the bottom of the pack where the straps had the paint fall off. It seems like the paint just peeled off very easily, although just cosmetic it does make me question the durability of the pack because of the paint just peeling off so easily
Otherwise it's an incredible backpack and well worth the money.

Love how spacious it is but the weight and the shoulder pads are issues
on March 8, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
With the large camera cube, I can fit all the gears that I need. Plus I can put cloths I need for at least 3 days with the expansion compartment.
However, the weight is pretty heavy even without anything inside. Also, the shoulder pads are thin so it digs into the shoulders. I hope Peak Design releases some addition paddings for this bag, maybe for 30 bucks.
