Great Camera Bag!

I bought this a couple of months ago to take my camera with me across the country and it’s the perfect bag for all of your camera essentials. Love that it has a laptop slot as well. Great overall bag
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Bag for EDC but…
on March 6, 2023
Posted by: Roe T
from Dallas TX
I purchased this bag about a month ago! It has been great for a single camera carry. It is provides easy carry and quick access. If I could change anything I would like an outside pocket for a water bottle. And maybe a slightly deeper accessory pocket inside. Other than that it is my favorite bag for everyday carry.

Great bag, a no worries messenger

I've had this a while now; finally getting to review it after a lot of use. I've taken this up Alaskan mountains, in the snow, and it was great for my gear. Lately, I've been on a motorcycle traveling around Maui's roads. Through strong trade winds; through winding back roads with sharp corners, and only one lane; in the misty rain, to heavy rains; along lava fields, high up over the ocean: this bag didn't slip and stayed where it was set. On motorcycle, tightened strap with a quick action and off I went. This trip, I carried Nikon D850 with Nikkor 14-24mm F1.2 and a Godox flash and extra batteries. Gear was well protected from the elements. The high winds at lava cliffs didn't give me pause as I knew bag held in place. Quick access to gear and the wind was not an issue. As well as hiking over the lava fields, with its grippy trip inducing rocks and rough terrain, you had to be aware of you walking, not worrying about your bag. Well worth buying!

Good Bag, Outside Pockets Useless
on January 28, 2023
Posted by: alex

Really like the bag. The outside pockets are basically useless because they are so small and not deep enough. The inside could definitely be bigger.
Easily fits:
Small EDC items (AppleTV remote, pens, floss, hand sanitizer, pill organizer, small earbuds)
14" MacBook Pro
Field Pouch (does not really fit the tech pouch)
Fujifilm X-Pro3 w27mm f/2.8 pancake lens + 16-80 f/4 lens
+
8.5 x 11 Notebook
OR
AirPods Max

If it were just a little bigger it could hold the AirPods and the notebook and it would then be perfect.

Perfect Everyday Bag
on January 25, 2023
Posted by: Everyday Guy
from Memphis, TN
Let me start by saying, Im not a photographer. I don’t own a camera, and I still don’t even know how to take a panoramic photo without it looking like some lovecraftian nightmare… but I do have things that I need to have with me everyday, at all times, just like anyone else.
I bought this bag for two reasons:
1. I really wanted a messenger bag (and I was the only guy in my office with a backpack and I felt like I was still in college, but I digress)
2. Any leather / waxed canvas bag for a similar price just looked tacky or (according to reviews) would fall apart after 6 months.

After an unbelievable amount of research, comparisons, and YouTube bag review videos, I discovered Peak Design. l immediately fell in love with the aesthetic and practicality of their products. Admittedly, I was a disheartened when I realized they were designed with photography in mind, but was so relieved to learn that their products could still be enjoyed and appreciated from folks outside of that medium.
I have had my Messenger Bag for about a month now and have received countless compliments for friends and family of all different ages. I love this bag so much, I would legit buy another one in black just to have both colors (which I normally would never consider).
If you do buy this messenger, I recommend buying one of their Tech Bags as well to store all of your chargers and other accessories.
All in all, I am supremely satisfied with my purchase and I look forward to purchase more Peak Design products in the future.

Built Like A Tank
on January 1, 2023
Posted by: R Yim
from Virginia USA
If you have never held one of these in your hands, it might seem like a lot of money to pay for a bag. But it is built tough, and the variety of pockets and the adaptability of the main compartment make it versatile and convenient. So why do I give it four instead of five stars? I really wish it had an external place to carry a water bottle.

Comfy and sleek

Yeah this bag outdoes the many other camera messengers in the market. It’s more light and sleek compared to my previous ThinkTank bag. Excellent service at the SF store where they helped me pick this bag.
