A Comparative Review
on May 13, 2020
Posted by: Sam H
First off - Peak Design's customer service and lifetime warranty are worth the price of admission. I'm transitioning from a V1 Charcoal to V2 Charcoal and below are my thoughts:
Pros - Improvements:
- Good lord, the V2 charcoal looks great compared to V1!
- Bigger hidden pocket under the front lid; way nicer for those with phat wallets
- Minor, but the lid corners have now also been rounded - I haven't seen this spoken about much, but it helps with my anxiety of my little knick knacks falling out when on its side.
- Strap magnets are SO nice for keeping them in check. As a landscape photographer, I'm often finding a nice safe place to set the bag, and not having the straps flying around definitely helps.
- The loops are GIRTHY. And the 'hooks' are much improved to the V1 and more like latches.
- Stap ergonomics feel good; I've found myself with sore shoulders WAY less often.

Cons - Things I miss:
- I miss the old wing internal zips :( - it was a great place to throw larger miscellaneous items that didn't necessarily belong in my main pockets (example: camera remote, cables, pamphlets, etc.)
- Hip strap - while not great, it took up little room and was a life saver in the V1. Having it be completely absent isn't thrilling.

Overall, perhaps not a MASSIVE overall improvement, but absolutely a much needed modernization to an already almost perfect bag. 11/10 would buy again.

It is so well made! A lot of thought must have gone into the design to make it feel so light. I don't know what you guys did, but I forget I have it on! Good job!

Pretty much perfect

All around this is a very solid bag. The materials are amazing and I suspect this will last for quite a long time. Customer service is also top tier. The only gripe I have with the bag is that everything feels very tight especially using the inside flap pockets and the water bottle pockets

I'm nitpicking
on May 16, 2020

I will start by saying I tried really hard to find a knock off bag with similar quality/function and wasn't able to. It is obvious that this is a thoughtfully designed bag. That said, I have some nit picky complaints about it.
The key hook - The key lanyard actually works pretty well, but the bungee cord kind of feels like an afterthought. It's almost funny because the rest of the bag seemed so thoughtfully designed and then there's just a bungee cord wrapped onto it.
Another small complaint is there's not a great “quick access” pouch. I'm talking about a small pocket that can be accessed with a quick zip open/close. The small pocket in the back tries to do this but it's difficult to access when the bag is full.

HIGH GRADE ITEM

I own wide range of PD stuff and I've never regretted any of it. From quality to usefulness, it just never failed me. This bag was one of an investment but upon having it, I feel it all worth it, impressive amount of customization you can do with this bag, it's just absurd. If you want to buy PD product, don't think twice, just go for it. Every dollar spend is just going to worth it in long run. By the way, their warranty was top notch too, BIG peace of mind buying their product!! Keep it up PD, you guys were awesome!!

Not just "Better than the Rest"
on May 22, 2020

The first thing I noticed when I received this bag in the mail was the stellar attention to detail. The little things like the magnets on almost every pocket to keep things buttoned down, the way the side carry handles disappear into the pockets, which don't even look like pockets (magnets again!), and the handy laptop compartment depth adjuster all combine to produce a backpack that is above and beyond stellar. The organization is well thought out and easy to access, with all of the pockets somehow being right where I need them to be, and the right size! The large top carrying handle is awesome, and well padded too. Another one of those little things that out this bag above the competition is visible on the straps. More magnets sewn into the straps make the straps stick to the back of the pack, keeping the bag sleek and the straps out of the way at all times. The attention to detail is just truly stunning, and I couldn't be happier.

Everything is about compromises...

... but this backpack is beyond the best universal ones. Works perfectly on a photo trip in Africa and few weeks later as a business backpack (after washing it a bit). And the customer service is the best I've ever experienced. I had an issue with a zipper on the V1 backpack and they replaced it by the more durable V2 no questions asked.
