A great friend for Camping
on June 14, 2025
Posted by: echo
from Basel
I bought this bag two travels ago and think it's great!
I was a little critical, because of some opinions saying it's overengineered. But I think, it's not!
It'd perfectly flexible for my multipurpose use: Transporting a chainsaw is as easy as mounting a tent. Using it for collecting wood is as good as for protecting my laptop.
It's easy to clean, also Inside.

Comfortable, durable and complex bag

I love this bag! I bought it for backpacking around Central Asia as a daypack that would also fit my FX3 kit and also as a cabin bag for the plane. It’s had plenty of scuffs and scrapes already (I’m two weeks into the trip) but it just bounces back. The mass of pockets is great for organisation. But when I first got the bag I fully ‘lost’ something because I forgot that those pockets existed! In hindsight sight I think I’d have been fine with the 25L but that’s my fault. I would definitely recommend it if you want something rugged, versatile and with plenty of organisation :)

I bought this duing the kickstart. I has been my go to backpack for motorcycling;
I love that I can use the side loops to securly hold my waterbottle and prevent it from going forward.
Also love that with the adaptable space I can bring an extra visor.

It looks and feels great. It’s lightweight and supportive. It’s been perfect for day hikes while my camera, lenses, and other items I take along with me. Highly recommend it!

Solid Hiking Bag

Bought this one a few weeks ago and finally put it to use and I must say it’s a terrific bag for hiking. Packs nicely and it’s the most comfy PD bag I’ve tried. Fits me like a glove (I’m 5’5” and the adjustments recommended were great.

Disappointing For How Good It Is
on July 26, 2025

The 25 liter backpack is so close to being my favorite pack ever for every day/travel/light adventure but the number of near misses is infuriating. The packs design has the feel of a battle between feature richness and a total minimalism where I am not sure either side succeeded. It seems like a few small additional features would have perfected this already decently heavy backpack. There is no hip belt (insane to ask for MORE money as an add on), there's no way for it to secure to the handle of a roller bag, the bladder compartment is almost completely unusable, the zippered pockets on the back panel could have been better layered to allow for storage of things like note pads, and absolutely no internal organization built in (not even a zipper pocket for pens or sunglasses). Other than that the pack is feature rich, easy to use, and carries a load very well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

25L outdoor backpack is my favorite now. PD quality always amazes me and how other PD products incorporates with each other. Recently had time to go on an easy hiking trip and it was just PERFECT for the occasion. Carried a camera, drone, insta360, tripod, snacks and water bottle.

ALMOST perfect!
on July 28, 2025

I just used my outdoor backpack for the first time today and I have to say, I’m REALLY stoked about it. I do mostly 4x5 large format photography and finding a bag that fits that niche, plus has solid features for hiking, has been tough. This bag with the smedium camera cube is exactly the right size for me; my Intrepid 4x5 fits folded above the cube, all of the other odds and ends fit perfectly inside the cube (including two lenses with shutters attached), and my tripod sits really comfortably in the deep side pockets, AND there’s still space for my water bladder. The harness is comfortable and solid and the materials, hardware, everything feels super premium and built to last. The pockets in the harness are really nifty and nicely fit a capture clip, and the white colorway is super clean too, even when it’s dirty
BUT. The sternum straps, omg. PD is huge on their cow hitches and ropey attachment mechanisms but it does NOT work well here. Catching those two little flat plastic clips on the piping in just the right spot can be tricky, especially when moving. It makes getting into/out of the harness a significant enough chore that I found myself avoiding taking it off whenever possible. I really wish it was just a clip like every other backpack. I’m hoping that they release a drop-in replacement since the whole thing’s modular anyway
I would recommend this to a friend!
