Great Bag, built well, just not for me, now....

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!

Almost the perfect bacpack

This could be the perfect weekend camera backpack. it's comfortable to carry/wear, doesn't weigh a lot when empty, rugged and a great size to fit everything in. When I first got this backpack it took me a little while to get used to the opening but now I think is great. my only gripe about this is the cord when closed is a bit untidy, I would have liked either a small magnet or a clip that could hold it in place.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Bag

I have a few of Peak Design bags. Each has a best use. This one is the one that I take when I have a lot of equipment and it is heavy. The belt and the better straps makes it that I can take a really heavy load. Still caries a good deal and has a lot of flexibility. I am aware that some people have criticized the company for tracking you. But if you want your equipment to be warranted for life, then you are going to be tracked.. True for anything you have longterm warranties on. If this is a concern to you then don't register your equipment.

By far the best backpack I ever had

I backpack around the world and I've used many forms of backpacks over time. This one is by far the best one I've ever used. Its extremely comfortable, fits amazingly well in the overhead bin, and is lighter than a lot of competitors in the same class. It isn't ultra light but it does offer various functions you don't find in ultra light backpacks. The back panel and carry system are absolutely comfortable. I've been recommending it to everyone I know!

Excellent hiking pack

I finally had a chance to take the PD outdoor bag on some serious hiking. I had avoided the previous PD bags due to the lack of a solid hip belt, so I used an REI day hiker with a small camera cube. That worked, but it was always frustrating due to the cube not being secure in one place. I love that i can secure my smedium cube at the bottom of the bag with the back panel access. My only gripe here is that the loops to secure the smedium cube with the c-clips were not perfectly aligned so it was tough to get a secure connection on one side. Never-the-less I made it work.
I was worried about the performance of the roll top closure, however with the magnets to bring the sides together it actually works pretty well as long as you don't over fill.
On my previous bag, I had the capture clip on the shoulder belt but after a long hike one of my shoulders would be sore and knotted up due to the weight on one side. On the Outdoor bag I tried mounting the clip on the hip belt. This was far more comfortable for me, though I could see someone being annoyed with the camera being near where you hands come to rest hanging down.
I think you could get a bag that functions similarly at another manufacturer for less, however I've experienced PD standing by their lifetime warranty and if you can stomach the initial price then you know you have a product for life.
All in all the bag is very functional and I'm super happy with the purchase. Looking forward to some summer hiking!

The backpack that keeps on giving

I have just finished a 1 month tour of: ~Singapore, Turkey, Dubai, Tanzania & Kenya using the backpack. It’s amazing how each time I need space I find another surprise in a space or methods of using it. It wonderfully easy to add storage space no matter the size. I used it as a carry on and it is perfect.

Spacious, versatile, and efficient!

I bought this bag a few weeks ago and it has been life/changing! I bought it with a large camera cube. The build quality and the customizable organization is top-notch. I’d highly recommend this product for wedding and event photographers. That said, this is not a bad bag to carry with you on long treks, if you like to do landscapes and wildlife as well!
