Short trip champ

My sage green duffel goes with my everywhere. I've had this bag since its launch via Kickstarter and haven't regretted it a day. The bag is big enough to hold multiple packing cube volumes, and I can get 4 of the large size ones in if they aren't too packed up. It's made incredibly well, just like all the Peak kit I own. You can stuff it, toss it about and be sure its going to hold up to whatever you can throw at it. I've set it up to hold 2-3 days worth of clothes for my wife and 2 kids, and it excels at this. If it's just me, I can get 5 days worth of clothes, my toiletries bag, and my tech bag with zero issues.
The outside pockets are good for smaller items, but when the bag is fully packed with packing cubes, there isn't a ton of room left to use these for larger items, but it will hold a call phone, small books/magazines, or some of the toiletries you need quicker access to. A protip for the handles - even if the magnets are a bit weak, if you clip them together and then twist the handles around, the strap will be MUCH more secure when using this carry method. You can always opt for the nicely padded shoulder carry strap instead though. The only quibble I have here is the carry straps can be reconfigured to do a backpack style carry, but this never works for me. When fully packed, the straps are just too short for my body type and I have to move them back. The straps are easy enough to pop off and move back though, and I'm sure for someone this is a great carry option.
When Peak Design got into the travel bag business, I knew I'd love their take on a classic duffle bag. If you travel, often for for longer periods of time, this is a great one bag option for individuals, or a shorter multi-day bag for small families. Big shout to the PD crew for great products!
I would recommend this to a friend!

35L travel Duffel

I bought this item one year ago along with some packing cubes as an everyday bag. I use it for going to the gym, as carry on luggage when flying, commuting to work and have lived out of the bag for 5 day trips with the bag strapped to my motor cycle. The quality and workmanship is excellent. I have the black bag and love the colour. Love the simplicity of the bag, one zip to the main compartment and that’s it. The side pockets with organisation works great and i use these for my tech gear. Shoulder strap is comfy as are the carry handles. I have used the carrying handles in backpack mode for a 40min walk twice a day for 5 days with just some gym gear and an iPad inside and its doable but I wouldn’t like to do it again it just not comfy. I have since purchased the 45 travel backpack for occasions like this. I love the bag as it suits my needs and would recommend peak design gear to others. If Peak Design is reading this I have a wish. I would love if you made a top box liner for the BMW adventure luggage something simple like the duffel in the same material, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Duffel bag

I purchased a 35 liter duffel bag online and am using while traveling in mainland Japan. I have used it as a carryon bag for the flight and it works amazingly well. I can all my items perfectly! All my clothes and electronic items fine. The design is perfect for walking around and going onto the trains and subway with no problems. I really enjoy this bag! I was worth the purchase!

Fantastic, but two big flaws.

If I had a financial advisor I'm sure they would suspect that Peak Design asserts undue influence on me. I've spent that much money and have that much of their gear. Pretty much I love all of it Functional and beautiful in the best way - the beauty grows from the design, not just style for style's sake. I immediately felt love for my new (and still relatively untested) travel duffel. But there are two, nearly unforgivable, flaws that downgrade the review to 4 stars. The magnetic handles are worthless. They literally do not stick even at rest, much less in use. They are uncomfortable to grip when there is any weight in the bag (camera, laptop and a few clothes). This shows up in a lot of reviews which I assumed had to be wrong since Peak is always good! I was bamboozled! They are that bad and it is amazing that this hasn't been fixed. The other problem is that when you open the bag it doesn't, like a doctor's bag, stay open. You constantly have to use one hand to prop it open. Except that I like the rest of it so much I would return it. And maybe keeping it will turn out to be a mistake as the irritation grows with use. I love the main compartment and then the various side pockets for creating a good hierarchy. Materials are great. It looks sleek and I like the way it appears small and slim when you don't have much in it but grows upward as you pack more in. Peak (Lawrence, I'm looking at you!), how can you extoll those magnetic handles that don't stick together at all, much less stay 'snapped' when using? I do have to give kudos to the the website in general for clarity in explaining all the gear and Lawrence and Zona for their focused, comprehensive and fun video presentations.

By far the most useful bag I have ever owned

I bought this bag in or around 2018 - I'm only writing the review now because I recommended this bag to my brother, and realized it was criminal that I hadn't posted a public one yet.
This badboy has been with me to 10+ countries, been thrown in and out of every size of airplane, and generally been my bag of choice for everything that comes up. I have dragged it through immigration lines by the strap, and have worn it as a backpack because I had my hands full. It feels like a small bag, but somehow holds everything... like it always manages to hold everything.
I tried tons of different specialized bags to use for getting my pilot's license, and this thing (surprise!) holds everything perfectly. Weekend bag? check. Month long trip? Rock this guy plus a backpack or carryon. Which brings me to the *only* flaw I can think of. It doesn't sit well on top of a rolling suitcase. The bag will want to slide off the top, and can tip over the whole arrangement when you're on the run.
Also, and I can't explain this with anything other than witchcraft... it looks *exactly* the same as when I bought it.
11 out of 10.

Exactly what I needed

Very hard to find a decent multipurpose/format day/weekend bag around 30L at this price. I switch between backpack and hand carry almost daily and it's very easy to do. The zip pockets and interior pouches are super useful. I travel a lot for work (1-2 nights away at a time) and this is ideal to pack everything I need as a holdall and to unpack at the hotel and use as a gym/day bag in between. It's light, rugged and the magnets and secure zips are a nice touch. I love the colour (sage) and I haven't found anything that comes close.
I would recommend this to a friend!
