Almost perfect
on November 16, 2020
Posted by: John
It's so close to perfect and you can read a thousand reviews on why it's so good so I'm just going to go over things that I hope they improve on.
1) The laptop compartment has that annoying velcro strap which things will always get stuck to when pulling things in and out of the bag. I don't know why they didn't use magnets here.
2) The backpack straps flop around when you not using them. You can tuck them away I just want it sit still when I'm carrying the bag or only using one strap instead of having to tuck them away.
3) The laptop pocket is safe but it doesn't give the feeling of safety that Ogio RSS backpack does when you drop your laptop in it. This is picky but I rather lose everything else I have instead of my laptop.
Other stuff are things like the side pockets are very tall but still would be nice to have the magnetic closure. The straps on top could use a little more padding as if you are carrying the backpack that way it's not comfortable.
Once again these guys/gals have thought things though a lot and this is the best backpack out there so this is just being picky. So close to perfect though. So...close!
P.S. Truly HATE that velcro strap though...why was that approved? Why?! Peack design of anything shouldn't include velcro. Ever!

Best overall travel bag to date - Great EDC bag as well
on November 18, 2020
Posted by: neato
This is the best overall bag I've used. (Osprey Farpoint, Goruck GR1, TAD Lightspeed, and various TNF/Patagonia packs in comparison)
Extremely well thought out, useful size/expansion, and great materials throughout. Access and zippers are fantastic. The magnetic flaps and strap stowage are very convenient (especially for airplane travel).
My only nitpick is the shoulder straps could use more padding. I ASSume this thinner padding was done for easier strap stowage so I can live with it. For heavy packing, I switch over to my GoRuck GR1.

To the East Coast and Southwest

It's rare that I ever give out 5-star reviews, and this case is no different. Perfection only exists in myths; however, this pack is damm-near close. I carried this pack with me from Arizona, to Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, and the Florida Keys (Fall, 2019). My trip lasted 6 weeks. It performed outstanding. The only critique I have is that smaller flap that opens towards the outside (not the large, clamshell zipper) gets a bit awkward when you open it. In other words, it would be nice if the zippers went all the way down. Instead, there's about an inch or two leftover towards the bottom, and it makes opening the bag here a bit difficult. Other than that, this bag is solid. I highly recommend it and can't wait to take another trip with it.

This bag is very comfortable and can be used not only as camera bag, but your every trevel bag. With all the inserts you can module, there are so many possibility. Best bag that I ever owned. Highly recomended.

Not managed to take it on a trip for obvious reasons lately but this is a very well made bag, it's a great size and with a cube inside it's a great camera bag

Awesome!!!

Hats of to the designer for this. Great bag. I have looked every where for a bag which provides exactly what I'm looking for, and have purchased dozens over the years only to be disappointed the moment I have received it.
Not now! Perfect bag loads of space strong, easy to pack and get your gear out. The camera cube and tech pack is also a great purchase to add to this bag. Will be back for another purchase very soon.

Bought since kickstarter long time user

I had this bag since it came out. This is simply the best bag to travel with period. It holds all my stuff and most airlines since it's a backpack don't even consider it carry on and it allows me to bring the duffle as well (another great product). The external carry straps help for thing that won't fit in the bad (my yoga mat). Also if things are getting a bit tight there is a way to expand it a little so you can get some extra room though I doubt you will need it.

Great pack pack BUT...
on December 21, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
I ordered pack along with a tech pouch, medium and small camera cubes. I want to love this pack I actually find it extremely nice and well built. I love the stowaway hip and shoulder straps. The padding on the shoulder and hip belts is good. The zippers are strong and don't feel like they will break under pressure. My only complaint which is why I gave this 4 stars is the waste belt buckle and adjustments. Now I understand this isn't a hiking pack but more of an urban and travel pack but I want my hip belts to have a wide 1-1/2 -2 inch belt and for the buckle to be a side squeeze or something that is easy to close without having to look at it. I actually bought new be 1-1/2 inch belt and buckles and am contemplating modifying this pack which I do with a lot of my packs. I know it will void the warranty if I do this so I may not but if it had a side squeeze buckle and better strap adjusters I would LOVE this pack.
