25L of joy

I just LOVE this backpack.
At first, I have to say I was a bit skeptical, fearing that it might be over-engineered for my needs.
Now I've put some use in it and I'm totally convinced this is the backpack that wins them all.
First of all, look and material. It's sturdy but light while holding a certain shape.
The comfort is just incredible and it doesn't change if half empty of fully loaded.
The external attachment makes it an incredible travel machine (I use the cubes for snacks, jacket, extra pairs of shoes or towels when on the road for more than 2 days).
Lastly, the look which makes it perfect for a day in the city but also charging my hometown trails with the bike.

This outdoor companion is super light but strong and safe.
Very comfortable to wear and you can reach all your stuff in a blink.

Loving the customizability and features!

Been rocking this for a few use cases across hiking, work, and travel... have to say this thing is fantastic! Very comfortable straps, lots of modification ability in the strap system that goes around the bag, and it also is just a beautiful bag. It feels like a step towards more modernity from Peak Design. It actually has replaced my work bag for everyday use too, which i wasn't planning on.

Big Bag Small Footprint

A bag like a Swiss army knife. There is so much packed into a 25L bag than I could have ever imagined. And the quality of it is even more amazing. I've had many bags over the years and this one I think takes the cake. I've had a North Face bag that has lasted about 12 years and this one feels like it will outlast that one by far. Looking forward to adding this as my everyday travel bag and more.

Great commuter backpack
on November 19, 2024
Posted by: Greg
from Sydney, AU
Signed up to the Kickstarter campaign and did not regret. Bought this to replace my smaller commuting bag (PD Everyday 20L). Currently being used as a daily commute via train to work (in Sydney AU) to carry a 16" laptop and lunch (in a Decor Microsafe Oblong). Sits well with everything in it. Super flat when lunch is taken out. Very comfy shoulder straps (also sits well for my broad frame). Well worth investing into adjusting to the many compartments where you can store things. Will be tested and used for travelling next year!

Best Bag Ever, Seriously
on November 18, 2024
Posted by: Juicy J
Dude! This is the single best backpack I have ever owned, seen, heard of, touched, whatever. I ordered early on Kickstarter because it looked badass and appeared to be well thought out. This bag is such high quality, so well designed, practical, and looks amazing. I received it last night and immediately knew it was the single best backpack I have ever placed hands on. I used it immediately just so I could make my workmate jealous about receiving it early and show off how awesome it was. I’ve been bragging about it non-stop, giving numerous demos to everyone. I’m an owner of dozens of nice backpacks; I’ve used tactical backpacks, travel backpacks, outdoor/hiking backpacks, commuter backpacks, and all that - this back is immediately the hands-down ultimate. Super solid construction, nice materials, ease and multiple ways to open it, additional bag attachment options, comfortable straps, clip system…all of it. At first, I thought I was just buying an expensive high quality bag, but now I don’t get how the bag is as affordable as it is at this level quality. Just trying to say it’s great, and I hate almost everything.

I LOVE THIS BAG!
on November 18, 2024

This is my 3rd backpack from Peak Design. I love them all and still use the other two. I also have an unhealthy obsession with backpacks and buy many from other manufacturers. First off... this is the best backpack I have ever bought... so happy with this purchase. I'm not sure the website photos do it justice, so here's what I like most about the Outdoor backpack:
1. it looks epic, especially in the dark red (eclipse) colour. Honestly, looks amazing. The colour is like a duotone effect; there are 2-3 different shades of crimson which work together to look amazing.
2. Functionality: being able to quickly access the entire pack (like the Peak Design travel bags) is really helpful, especially when I get to work, I can flip it open and grab what I need quickly.
3. All the fittings, handles, padding behind the laptop, etc, are small/thin/light but incredibly strong.
4. Waterproof: it doesn't rain a lot in Spain, but there is a lot of commuting by foot, so when it does, it's great to know my laptop and all my gear are safe.
5. Durability: all the fabrics feel super-premium and tough.
6. The opening mechanism to open the front of the pack is fantastic, once you know how it works, it makes for quick assessment and closure, but at the same time, it is hard for would-be thieves to get into the back (as it doesn't open as they would expect). There are a lot of pick-pockets in Spain, so this is a great feature. Note: someone left a 1-star review for this product based on this feature alone (the opening mechanism on the front). I think they need to retract that review, as it is objectively unfounded.
I love this bag.
