I've purchased two prior V1 bags and was excited to try out the newest version Unfortunately no physical peak design stores in my country. When i received it great anesthetic as usual just quality of the materials is noticeable thinner/less durable then the V1. Wished they kept same materials. The midnight navy is an excellent color
Bought 30L but found it is too big for my work purpose so bought another 20L which i am using for day to day work travel. 30L is used for flight related travels only and it can serve me for weekend trips without any issues. It was using samsonite bags for 20y but after switching to these i am never going back ;-)
I bought the 20L in Ash and am loving the versatility in the many ways I can pack different equipment or even go on a day trip with all essential element. Cleverly designed, numerous adjustable pockets and inserts and oh so comfortable to wear, even when well loaded.
I’ve owned this for close to a year now and it quickly replaced every other bag I was using to haul my gear back and forth to the office and for trips less than 3 days. Has held up incredibly well banging around in the back of my Jeep, in airline overhead storage and more. All the pouches and pockets and straps are well thought out in placement and function and I think I’ve honestly used every pocket on this thing at least 3 different ways.
The backpack is amazing, every detail taken care of, I dreamt of buying one and finally treated myself. Only one “complaint”: from the site and reviews, it’s not *that* clear that it’s a bit wide. Not a problem, just make sure you notice that it’s a bit wider that a standard backpack, maybe it’s just my experience (or lack thereof), but I wanted to make sure you knew. Still, if this is the only thing I can find on this backpack, you can understand just how good it is!
I have had this backpack for about 2 months and have used it on 3 work trips and as my everyday work backpack. I think this has been the best backpack I've used yet. I enjoy creating the different compartments inside the large area, as it allows me to keep things organized. My only complaint is that I wish there was a bit more room in the laptop area. It fits my 13" laptop fine, but
