Overall, the backpack lives up to the online consensus that it is great for photography and carrying the equipment entailed. However, outside of that use, the bag does fall short.
Pros: - beautiful aesthetic - well thought out function, love the magnetic clasp - dividers work really well for holding camera gear
Cons: - Exterior material, though rugged and durable, does feel cheap in a sense - No space to hold any documents except in limited laptop pocket - Overall rigid structure makes bag somewhat unwieldy (specifically the 30L)
Overall if you have a lot of photography gear to carry, and the cash to spend on a photography specific backpack, this backpack will do you good. As an everyday carry, I think it falls short.
This bag is soooo hip. I have many camera bags but this one is hip and stylish. The room inside is adequate and up to the task. The brain power invested in this bag is obvious.
Had a bag that wasn't 100% so peak sent me this one as part of their warranty! I love that they try to reuse bags slightly worn to help their foot print on the beautiful earth!!! This bag is incredible, I use it for uni as well as my weekend trips, its got great functionality. When I need the bag for uni I take out one of the little shelves and when I'm using it for the weekend I pop it back in. When some extra gear is needed, eg: a jumper, I just strap it on the front of the bag with the straps, the functionality is honestly endless. Love all the new little magnets eg the luggage pass through, it's just a lovey little touch, the mag lock is still amazing! If I was to nitpick one little thing, it would be that the side compartments is missing like a little pen holder or something, I've found the side compartment cut in half is a little tricky but I've managed to work around it. Love the bag and love this company, can't recommenced this bag or these bunch of legends more! Cheers for supplying us with top notch bags!
I love this bag! Wish they had the Navy color when I originally got this! Works wonderfully for my photography hobby but also as an international travel day carrying bag for just about anything! Even carrying around camera equipment/baby supplies while traveling. The seals and waterproofing is impeccable. Highly suggest this bag for anyone, not just photography folks.
This is my first everyday backpack in over 7 years. I've been using Mission Workshop's Vandal and buying the V2 is a welcome change. The Vandal is huge but the V2 is well designed and the right size for daily usage. I'm not a camera guy but I find the small pockets very useful to fit all the junk that I carry around with me daily. It would be great if there's a card size pocket on the strap to fit cards or IDs.
I have tried several different camera bags over the last few years. This bag checks off all of the checkmarks for the bag I've been looking for. This bag is a well thought out design made to suit both men and women of different sizes. The size is very good, not too bulky but big enough to hold what you need for a day's activity. It is very comfortable to wear for hours at a time. It is stylish and looks very sharp but does not look like a bag that is holding very expensive camera gear. Your camera can be accessed by the side without having to take the bag off. The inside is customizable to you can make the adjustments to hold what you're bringing for the day. It has room to hold more than just your camera gear or it can be used without any camera gear. This bag can be used as a carry-on and easily fits in the overhead compartment. It feels very well made and should last several years. I am very pleased with this bag and highly recommend it.
Great product, friendly support team and all the best

I'm using this backpack everyday for work, traveling and every where i go. The functionality, flexibility and the feeling is really good. Excellent design and workmanship, quality materials. The way your support team help me is the best. Hope you guys all success.
I really was hoping I didn't like the bag, at least not enough so I could give it back and not spend so much money on a backpack. Fortunately I can say I am not giving it back, everything is great. I have been able to pack enough for a week roadtrip with my drone and GoPro as well as clothing. It is comfortable versatile and just the best.
When buying it I went to the store, the staff was friendly and helped me make the right decision!
