This backpack is one of the best out there! The quality and thoughtfulness are top-tier! I love the side zippers, top hatch, many pockets, colors and variable sizes. I can fit 2 film cameras, extra lenses, rolls of film and a vintage polaroid all in a 20L...and still have room!
This bag has been with me through so much and it’s held up so well! While I still love the bag, I do find that it’s slightly heavy overall. That said, this is still the only bag I carry and will continue to carry.
Excellent built quality. The real advantages of these bags appear when you use them "everyday" ! I particularly like to be able to access the content from the side.
The improvements Peak Design have made to the comfort and usability of the bag have been quite worthwhile in my opinion. The removal of the waist strap and the small interior pockets made for a bit of getting used to, but the added comfort and the improved MagLatch help to balance that out.
This is my first premium backpack and after figuring out the size (went for the 30L after trying the 20L) I'm quite enjoying it and its flexible space dividers.
I haven't yet used it for photo gear but tested it and it feels it will be more than ok for my crop Canon body with a zoom and a prime lens.
Shipping within Europe was 3 days and rather cheap. Returning the 20L was painless.
I bought this on recommendation from a friend, who I think has one of everything from PD. I'm super impressed by the versatility, build quality, and overall design! I've used it for everyday commuting, packing audio gear for remote recording, and packing for a weekend away. I love how comfortable it is, I literally felt myself walking straighter while wearing it. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone!
Had this bag for 6 months or so now. and its absolutely the best Camera and EDC bag I've ever owned. I travel almost weekly for work and have a good bit of work stuff that I have to carry. This bag allows me to handle all of that in the top section while also being able to carry my 5D4, 70-200, and 17-40.
I used to carry a more typical style camera backpack where you would have to lay it down and open the entire front side to get access to anything. The way this works where you can use the top latch OR either of the side access hatches is awesome. I really love this bag
I had an issue with my V1 (stains that could not be removed) and PD hooked me up with a V2 as a replacement (what an amazing support they have). Although I was very happy with my V1, I can see steady improvements in the V2. I would have to highlight the new zippers and overall round design as my favourites.
