This bag replaced an old camera bag I had been using for awhile. The peak design bag is not only an extremely well designed backpack but also an amazing camera bag.
I love the bag. It holds everything I need. The only thing I wish it had was more inner pockets with zippers. For example, make the entire side panel two hidden zipper pockets! A lot of things fall out of the open pockets if I’m not constantly vertical. Otherwise, this is a great backpack for school, hiking, and photography.
I purchased this to replace my 20l bag i got a few years ago and my god it's the best thing I've purchased this year. Plenty of space for all my items i carry on day trips with my friends.
I purchased the 20L backpack primarily for airline travel. I typically pack an iPad, PD Tech Pouch (must have), headphones, sunglasses, wallet, keys, and AirPods. I find that they 20L is perfect for my needs - the laptop compartment is a tad snug but works.
I love the side compartment access and use it ALL the time. Magnetic closures, additional loops for fixing a jacket to the backside... they've thought of everything.
The material is top notch and I expect that this backpack will survive years of use with little signs of wear. My only gripe is that the blue material seems to really show dust/dirt. Ex. when passing it through the security scanner at the airport the backpack picks up and shows dust/dirt from the conveyor belt. Nevertheless I absolutely love this backpack.
The is the best backpack I could ever ask for. I am a businessman and a hobbyist photographer. I always carry my laptop and some electronic accessories but I also want to carry my camera because you never want to miss a good shot. This bag is the perfect solution.
