Another Great Travel Pack
on March 17, 2023
Posted by: Full-time Travel
from Idaho
My wife and I have been traveling for over a year with the PD 45 carried in a 35 L configuration. We were able to switch her pack to the new 30 L size. Makes for a lighter carry and better fit for her frame. Also perfect for shorter trips when you’re traveling for a month or less. Absolute great build quality as we have come to expect from PD. The only major design change I missed from the larger pack is the smaller flaps for the straps and lack of magnetic closures.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome backpack
on March 31, 2023
Posted by: Floripa44
from San Diego
I just took this backpack 22 hours from San Diego to Florianópolis Brazil. 22 hours of travel. On the way home, I got stuck in sao paolo for 25 hours making my trip home 49 hours. On that epic journey, this thing performed. It paired perfectly with my larger away carry on and I had space to spare for over a week trip. When it is zipped down, it feels just right and the expansion leaves plenty of room for a longer trip. With this combo, you will never need to check a bag. I love that the straps can be put away, the handles on each side, the top pocket and a jacket is easily strapped to the outside. Great bag. I did find that when keeping the bag on my roller, I wished there was a pocket to stuff my passport and phone for security. The top pocket is taken up by a pair of Bose headphones. That is easily avoided by using the away with pocket which is great for stashing pocket items at security.

Great bag, straps aren't that comfortable

GOOD
Quality of the bag is great, these bags aren't cheap and I looked at many brands to find what fits my needs. It really looks sleek in design and quality, something I'm sure will last for years to come.

The expandability is very handy and the bag still retains its shape.
The way the bag opens is like a suitcase, so you can easily access everything you need to.
NOT SO GOOD
I had read it on reviews but it was still worse than I expected and reason for lifting 1 star. The straps aren't that comfortable. At the end of the day, I could have only worn it for a couple of hours in total, but my back ends up hurting from it. I'll be looking into if I can get pads or something for it.

Other thing that's annoying but not a deal breaker is the pocket at the top, I wish it went deeper. It's really small. Or instead of the magnet upside down pouch on the front, a normal zip pocket I'd actually use. I don't trust that something wouldn't fall out of it and be lost, so basically I never use it.
I wish the laptop compartment was separate from the whole bag, so I didn't need to open it up to all my things in the bag to take/put in my laptop.

Everyday backpack

Love my backpack! I have had this pack for over a year and use it all the time. The only suggestion I have would be to move the side zippers so they open toward you. Seuss away from you.

Great camera bag
on April 24, 2023
Posted by: Iron Chef Shellie
from Melbourne
After years of carrying a bulky bright orange camera bag, I finally upgraded to this bag in black. It is so slimline and doesn't look heavy, perfect for carry on baggage. I use a different insert for the cameras which works well. I love that there is handles on all four sides of the bag, plus the one on the bag so you can always grab your bag no matter how it is stored.
I also love that you can tuck the backpack straps away and attach it easily to your suitcase handle to wheel around.

All around great backpack

I bought this backpack after coming home from a trip and realizing I needed to get a backpack that I could slide under seats in a plane but that also held as many clothes and supplies as possible. I tried this 30 mL size and it has been perfect, so much so that my husband bought one too.
