Great hiking photo backpack

I bought this 45L backpack for my 3 weeks south america trip including 6 days hike in Patagonia and Peru inca trail. Together with camera clip and cube it strike good balance between comfortable large size hiking backpack + basic photography needs. Overall design looks great, durable, and packaging cube help organize in easy way.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased through KS campaign and took the pack on a recent trip. Discovered my travels and this bag were not aligned. Appreciated the Eclipse colorway and the great build quality of the bag. So many features designed into the bag, many of them not a great fit for my travel. Will be transitioning to another PD product and getting the bag in the hands of a person that can fully utilized this great bag!

Comfort for Any Journey

I was wringing my hands indecisively up until two days before the Kickstarted ended and I decided I did in fact want ~another~ pack. I climb, hike, travel, and generally beebop around and was drawn to the harness in particular, coupled with the organizational flexibility. I’ve got a couple cubes (camera and otherwise) and figured I could swap them out depending on activity. Initially I wasn’t able to do so as cleanly as I’d hoped, but after a couple months I think I’ve developed a great system that I don’t think I’d be able to use in a less open/accessible bag. The harness is all that I’d hoped for thankfully, and I think with a bit of effort this can be one of the flexible carry options in town.

Even better than I expected

Backed this immediately on Kickstarter, and wasn't disappointed when I got my hands on it. Genuinely thoughtful design, and every bit as versatile as it looks. I've now used it for hiking, casual weekends away, and for hauling gear around generally. It's not the lightest of backpacks, but it's still light enough to be usable in almost every situation. The stacked side pockets work astonishingly well in practice, the gear loops and fixings allow for all kinds of load configurations, and just work really well in practice. This is a very accomplished bit of kit.

Purchase when it launched, been on a few flights with it and day outings.
very comfy to wear with versatile options on carry.
very comfy to wear with versatile options on carry.
The only thing is have to use a buffer or camera cube for anything non breakable at the bottom of the bag as there isn't much padding there.

Simply the best backpack I've ever owed. Period.

I bought the 25L as a Kickstarter and so glad I did. It arrived just in time for Xmas and has now become my go-to backpack of choice over and above others from Tumi and Samsonite. It's simplyn the most versatile backpack I've owned with options for phone storage, chest strap, waist belt and the design is simple, yet flexible. The colour is also suitably cool and matches my PD iPhone case, which is neat idea. Look no further if you want something that focuses on practicality, design and good looks, plus it ticks the security box too, as it's a devil to open, until you know how!

More than a hiking backpack

I bought this as part of the Kick starter release to be a compliment to my existing backpacks. Instead, I am now using this pack for daily use as part of my work commute as well as our bushwalking. I love all the small pockets etc which mean I can store my keys, phone, train ticket, glasses, water etc all within easy reach. I use the front compartment for by bike helmet and/or hat. The main compartment is adequate for all the other stuff I catty including laptop and iPad. Super comfortable to wear. Best back pack I've bought
