Newer version is disappointing

Bough the eclipse version.
I have a grey and a kaki and found this new one not only shiny ( looks Cheap) but the material is very different to the touch ( feels a lot cheaper- considering the price hike is not worth it).
I sent it back as I find the newer version very disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Go-to travel bag.

Great bag: strong, stylish, impressive capacity. I like that you can use the little pouch it stuffs into as a small pocket in the interior when in bag-mode. I do find it’s so spacious that I loose things in the interior when it’s full, so another little internal simple pocket would make it 5 stars for me, but I appreciate that’s maybe more of a ‘me’ thing than any critique of this excellent bag. It’s been my go-to ‘handbag’/shopping bag/bus bag/around town bag/day hike bag during 2 months of travel, and when not required it disappears into virtually thin air. So good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent tote

I bought this recently to use on air flights - as a tote I can pull out with what I need on the plane. It is fabulous. Since then I have used it for lots of events - outdoor concerts to pack an extra sweater for example. It folds up and is so lightweight and strong. I love it!

I have this in all the colours. These are a very handy tote to carry and use with the zipper closure.

packable and self healing

The Peak Design Packable Tote is hands-down the best compact bag on the market. Most packable totes feel cheap, crinkly, and flimsy, but this one feels incredibly premium from the moment you pick it up.What makes it a 5-star product:Unmatched Durability: The 100% recycled ripstop nylon is tough, water-resistant, and features a brilliant self-healing material that shrugs off small punctures.Secure and Closed: The single-zip closure is a massive upgrade over open-top totes, keeping your gear perfectly safe during travel or transit.Actual Shoulder Comfort: The microfiber-padded strap is a game-changer. It distributes weight beautifully and doesn't cut into your shoulder, even when fully loaded.Insanely Packable: It stuffs down easily into its own internal pocket, taking up virtually no space in your main backpack or luggage.Peak Design nailed the details on this one. It functions perfectly as an emergency travel carry-on, a grocery bag, or a daily catch-all. It is worth every single penny.

Great Package Tote

I bought this as part of the "whole shebang" with the Roller pro kickstarter. I'm a sucker for lots of bags, but then had buyer's remorse because how many bags does one person or even a family need?
Well this past March I remembered to pack the tote on a trip to Quebec. It was fantastic. I had forgotten it had a zipper. It also looks so much nicer than a reusable grocery tote. I managed to feel a bit stylish walking around the city using it. And now I keep it clipped to my Every Day Backpack so I always have a nice bag with me at all times.
