Eclipse 25L
on March 26, 2025

The material used is just excellent to feel. The opening / closing of this bag takes a bit initially but then works perfectly. The side zippers are handy. The complete back opening is a wonderful way to gain access to the full compartment. The shoulder straps is comfortable and sit well.

Backpack Aficionado’s Favorite Pack

A strong penchant for travel means I have a cache of bags for different purposes. Through design and aesthetic this ranks at the top. The only improvement I can imagine at this point is that a better method for securing the top of the bag could have been executed better. That said, I look forward to pairing the pack with the PD Roller Pro sometime in May ahead of summer travel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect in every way!

I saw this at the photography show and was so impressed! It is so well thought out for use as a travel bag and my camera cube fits it in it too! The pockets etc mean that all those added extras are on hand and my iPad is safe and sound. Great colours too! What’s not to like?

What a fun and practical backpack!

Bought this 2-3 months ago. I absolutely love how versatile, stylish, high-quality it is.
And the best part: I can fit an entire weekend of travel in it, especially with the add-on packing cubes.

A great alternative to travel bag pack.

I got this bag during the kickstarter and I am always enjoying the PD products. This bag caught my eye because of the light weight. I have the travel bag 45L which is slightly heavier than what I like. This outdoor bag pack has better shoulder straps very comfortable to carry heavy loads. I took it for my recent Europe trip and it handles weight very well. Only one downside, which is why I did it give the 5 star, is the bad has no organisation compartment inside the main area. Which means you will need pouches for loose items which adds weight to your carry. I fully understand that if additional storage added to the bag also means heavier bag but I thought just leave my honest opinion of how I feel about this bag based on my use case. But I love this bag.

A very solid hiking backpack
on March 26, 2025

from Yerevan, Armenia
I am using this backpack for one-day mountain hikes, with camera on one strap and additional lens on the other one. It's a very comfortable, easy to use backpack, a stylish one as well. It basically allows me to carry more and use those with ease. A minor issue is that it takes significantly more time than before (I am comparing to Osprey backpack) to install (and remove) a water bladder into it.

Fits a lot of camera stuff, not much else good

I love the size of this bag. I carry long lenses with me regularly and for most bags, that would take up the entire space. In this, I can fit both my full camera and drone setup so I no longer have to carry two separate bags. I’m rating it two stars though because the usage of space on the outside of the bag and the space inside the bag but outside of my large camera cube. The mockup images said there’d be room for their small packing cube bags inside the bag with the large camera cube, but I haven’t found that to be true. In order to roll up the bag even a single time so that the opening isn’t exposed, you completely eliminate that space. And speaking of the opening, why doesn’t it close??? It’s literally called an outdoor bag, but you can’t even close it completely to keep the outdoors out?? As for the usage of space on the outside, none of the pockets open enough to fit much of anything and all the random straps have no explanation as to how they’re used. Took my five minutes just to figure out the pull tab to loosen the outer shell part, which is entirely useless anyway because it’s the only part of the bag that seems at all ‘outdoorsy’. If that outer shell covered the entire bag, it be perfectly happy calling this an outdoor bag and have no complaints because I’d be sacrificing the outer spaces for the full protective coverage. But it’s not and the space still isn’t used well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome bag

I picked this one up as part of the kickstarter and am very pleased. It’s turned into my go to camera hiking pack and does the job really well.
I was a little nervous about the roll top prior to getting it, but it’s actually really good. I mostly access the main compartment via the zip back, and then just use the top access for throwing in loose items and for quick access, so it’s kind of the best of both worlds.
I’ve pared this with a smedium cube and can comfortable carry
a body + 70-200 + 24-70 + 16-35 and my beloved 35 F1.4 prime and have room for snacks, water and medkit.
