Really like this bag… just wish it was a couple of liters bigger. Little tight as an everyday office carry. How about a 15L version?

Every messager

I use V1 15 inch and get a replacement V2 13inch due to V1 is end of life.
I prefer V1 as
1. I like the material for V1, V2 is more plastic.
2. I like the top zipper on V1, V2 remove this zipper.
3. The space is bigger than V1 15inch
4. The length for V1 strap can be easier to be adjust while for V2. I can easily adjust the length of V1 strap while using. But for adjusting the strap of V2, I always need to unload the bag first from my shoulder, otherwise, it’s very hard to adjust the strap while the bags on my shoulder.
For my self, I will prefer V1 rather than V1

Great and pretty bag but…

That messenger bag is really beautiful and well designed! I love the new green color too! The only flaw would be that it's more of a DSLR photo bag; my Leica M lenses need way less space in the inserts, so I need to put a camera cube in it… Not so quick to get one out then! As for my Fuji system, it's more okay, but still a bit too wide. And if I want to use it as a computer bag only, then I have to remove all the inserts because the scratch is using up the whole bag. So please make a bit smaller bag one day, promise ? I don't like the sling bags because then it's too tight! There is something missing between this 13 L. bag and the sling 10 L.… Peak: why not combine your camera cube system and your EDC carry so then you can switch from outdoor bags or travel bags to a city bag easily, as you travel goes (just like Shimoda did…) ;) Eager to see the next version of it though ! Cheers, M.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love It - Great Item

So far I absolutely love it. My first camera bag was the 6L sling. Now I switched to full frame, got two camera bodies, and carry additional lenses and flash equipment and the 13L really let's me carry a lot more. It's great design that I expect from Peak and it looks awesome too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One product—multiple use cases. Impeccable design!

Love it so far. I use it mainly to carry my camera rig at events and such. I’ve found when I’m going to meetings or similar, I remove the photography stuff, pull out the dividers and am left with an awesome briefcase!
My only wish? That it had SOME orange somewhere as a contrast to the Kelp green’ish color. I have a Kelp GNAR for my iPhone Pro Max 17 with the orange back and the two just look so awesome together!
