As with all PD bags, it's stylish and the materials and zippers are top-notch. The 35l is good enough for a weekend to week travel, I can put inside tech pouch, wash pouch, 2 jeans, 8 shirts, some underwear and socks, my laptop (in a case) and some accessories and all fit great without being overload.
What I want to see on next version? bigger side pockets and inner pockets, I think ther can be bigger, right now they are not that big enough when the bag is fully packed. The handles are ok for me, but you do have to hold them in the right way to be comfortable. I don't think they need a redesign but PD can add some soft neoprene strap to wrap the handle together that people can add to make it more comfortable when moving around. All in all, a classic duffle with a premium feel.
After 3 months, one of the side pocket zipper-pull broke off. After reaching out to Peak design they directed me to go through the warranty process. I received a brand new replacement bag within a few weeks. It was a pretty seamless process. Overall the bag is fantastic. Love all the pockets and carrying versatility. The one critique would be that the magnets in the Handel are too weak. I highly recommend travel duffel.
When plans were released for a travel line I was very much looking forward to seeing a product of this kind. I was not disappointed. It’s extremely durable and I love the amount of space it has! I got the 35L for weekend travel use but combined with the packing cubes I could easily stretch to a long weekend/3-5 days of use. The multiple carry strap configurations are an awesome feature. That green color is sleek as well. Two thumbs up PD!
Bought it 2 years ago and it's holding beautifully. Handles have developed some patina but a lot of the bag looks like new. Main compartment zipper is reinforced and does not het floppy/wrinkly, making zipping/unzipping easier and getting into the bag easier. Plenty of compartments and and carry styles thanks to many attachment loops for shoulder belt and handles. Handles do dig in into shoulders though if you carry heavy stuff. Also, magnets in to keep the handles together hold the handles quite poorly. But it's really all the nitpicks I can think of.
I travel for work with a 2 bag system and basically live out of this bag and a backpack for my laptop etc for a couple weeks at a time every month. It’s just the right amount of space for me and let me tell you it is rugged. I’m not easy on this bag and it looks brand new after months of weekly use. I’ve only had one issue where I lost a strap and even though I was at fault customer support took care of me and got a new one right out. I honestly can not say enough good things about this product, the CS I received, and this company as a whole. Great gear and people!
I’ve used this as my main bag and as a complement to a backpack. Works well with the PD cubes but also with other packing systems or just loose items due to its flexible structure.
I bought the 35L duffel bag in sage about a month ago and have used it three times. The quality of the bag is top notch. I love the feel of the materials and it’s durability. I am able to get everything I need in the bag for a weekend and/or five-day trip. It is comfortable to carry and doesn’t feel too big. I mostly carry it by the handles because I also travel with a 20L backpack. The only con about the bag is the tote handles. The magnets are not strong at all and barely hold together. But this is minor and not a deal breaker since the bag has so many other great features. I would recommend the duffel bag. The sage is a beautiful color.
I bought my bag one year ago and use it very frequently. The product is well thought and designed. It has all the pockets I may need and is great to handle, hang and store. Two problems so far: 1. Using it as a back pack is very hard because the straps are not adjustable. This is the main low point. 2. After one year, the metal parts started corroding. This is obviously not great, but the product warranty has addressed it. So no worries there
