Great products, awesome communicaions and customer service throughout purchase. My new bag is sharp and tight, very innovative travel gear that will serve me in multiple missions. I love the fit and finish, very happy with my research on this company and its outstanding product offerings!!
I got this as my main wedding photography bag. I live in a city where you would definitely think twice to leave your stuff lying around. So I needed something for larger all-day events to keep on my back at all times (or most of the time). Yeah I get a bit sweaty but I have peace of mind. It is a comfy even for long periods of time. I use the everyday backpack or messenger for smaller shoots.
It a great travel camera travel backpack, my only issue is when I emailed Peak Design and I asked if could fit the medium camera cube and medium packaging cube into the backpack I was told yes which that not true unless they were talking about on top of each but not align, and to as I want I have get the small packing cube to work with medium camera cube or the other way around my only problem which mean less clothes or less camera gear, or I have to return the medium packing cube and use two small one on top of each other which may work
It took me a long time to decide to pull the trigger on this purchase, but I'm glad I finally did! This backpack is incredibly sturdy, and all the zippers are smooth. It has pocket where I need pockets, and access where I need access! Looking forward to travelling so I can us it again!
So far, I love the bag. The only complaint I have is the snaps to reduce the volume from 35L to 30L. They work, but nearly had to break my thumbs to get them to snap. It would be helpful to have an alternative, easier method to reduce the volume. It would also be helpful to have D ring or some other type of "handle" on the backpack shoulder strap adjustments. Essentially, having something to more easily pull on to tighten the straps would be nice. Otherwise, this is a great bag. The construction is top notch. I love how well the zippers work. The ability to quickly and easily get the backpack straps out and also stow away is an awesome function. The storage volume is excellent. The ability to get into and out of the bag is very intuitive. I love how smartly designed all of the pockets are. I am have only traveled with it once so far. I have another trip coming up this week. However, I am excited to say that I may become a single bag traveler with this backpack. Combining it with the Peak Design packing cubes has opened my eyes to being able to travel with just one bag. I would highly recommend this bag. Whether traveling with just one bag or expanding your carry one options to add to you suitcase, this is a great bag. I am interested to see if I can get away with backing it under an airline seat. It isn't advertised as such, but I think that I might be able to do it... I will probably find out this week.
