Great Build Quality

I love this backpack, especially having the middle pouches be accessible both from the main compartment as well as the secondary compartment is great. The VelCro-Strap to secure the laptop came in clutch a few times, because I had to lay out equipment on a table quickly and was comfortable with letting the laptop-compartment hang down from the table. I like the color (sage), it just started collecting some white marks which is a bit odd. They aren't very obvious though. A small gripe I have is that the front buckle to secure the bag in front of your chest is not very secure, and I've had it happen on several occasions that I actually lost it when retrieving the bag from a bag compartment. It would be great if you could lock that connecting strap more securely to the bag on one of the two main straps (don't know the specific words). Also, a magnetic solution like on the db Ramverck would be much appreciated in a future version.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome bag but one quirky thing

I love this bag for just fun travel, especially when using packing cubes I have all the room I need on the inside for a weeks worth of clothes and my "light" travel items, but the one thing that irks me is that if I try and use this for everyday travel and I button it up to make it smaller, the buttons always snap loose. Also it is kind of awkward to stick my hand into the main opening when using for everyday carry. But for travel, this backpack rocks, and I will probably ask my gf for the 30L travel backpack for Christmas for my everyday carry over the everyday pack V2. I currently have the V1 everyday pack but I would prefer the travel backpack over it for everyday carry even with it's quirks.

Beautiful, Sleak, Adaptable

While the product is described as a travel backpack I’ve found it’s design to perfectly allow my to travel around London with everything I’d ever need for my freelance work. It’s adaptable size makes it perfect for fitting those few extra pieces you just wouldn’t be able to fit in a normal back pack and the waterproof material keeps me certain that none of my valuables will get damaged, beautiful backpack, super happy

Tough as nails

I bought this bag for an overseas trip and had the opportunity to try it out on a week-long business trip. I shoved more than a week's worth of professional clothes, shoes, jewelry, makeup, laptop, books, and other stuff into the bag and it held up like a champ. I especially liked the expandable front that I needed at the end of the trip to tuck the tchotchkes I was given into it. It still fit in the overhead.

Amazing attention to detail make it stand out

I bought this backpack because of all the thoughtful design features. The top selling features for me are the clamshell opening to access the main compartment and the expandable/compressible storage. Unzipping the extension zipper and having that extra 10L of space makes a huge difference for the end of my trip when I totally end up picking up extra things and need more room. The foldable hip belts are a game changer. I like the external handles, there are multiple ways to grip your bag on the go which makes it so convenient. The construction of the bag is so sturdy and the material is durable, I don't worry about tearing or much damage even when I check my backpack for some flights. Packing the bag is so easy with the clamshell opening, you can instantly see everything inside your backpack by opening the main zip. All the pockets inside keep everything organised and eliminate the need more multiple smaller bags or pouches to organise things. For example, I have one pocket in the bag dedicated to my first aid stuff so I don't need a separate small bag to hold it as everything fits in the generous sized pockets built into the bag. There are multiple ways to access the main compartment, from the back of the bag, the front and even from both sides! This is handy when you only need to access something from certain places in the bag. Like the laptop sleeve in the back of the bag, you don't have to open the front up to access, just zip the back open and you can quickly pull out your laptop. It's small details like that which really add up to this being the best travel backpack I've owned. My only critique is the limited colour range. I would prefer a more feminine colourway. I chose the green and it's alright but not my favourite colour choice. But the bag is so good I can overlook the colour.

My old camera backpack finally gave out and I needed to change things up. I LOVE the Peak 45L. The ability to change the bag up where needed from small gear and clothing to all gear is fantastic. The look and design are awesome.

Amazing everyday/light travel bag

I bought this bag as a flight bag for work/light travel bag and it is amazing. The various snaps and zippers allow the bag to compress to a smaller size, while maintaining its look. The pockets and compartments are smartly placed and work well. My fav bag by far

Love this bag!

I originally purchased this bag for a 3 week trip to Europe after watching a million PackHacker reviews. It was a great fit for Europe and held all of our stuff with room to spare. The pop out hip straps are one of my favorite features because they hide away so smoothly if not needed. I actually had this bag stolen from my apartment and I just re-bought it for regular travel (weekend trips or work trips) and am loving it again!
