[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So rigid, that even fully extended barely anything fits in it. And without any real internal organization it turns into a deep black hole. The opposite of what I am used to from Peak Design.
I’ve been looking for something to carry around a spare lens or two plus a few other small things and this has been a great fit. Like everything Peak makes the quality is awesome, I’ve been very impressed
I use the Field Pouch as my every day crossbody bag for day hikes, shopping, and travel. It is the perfect size and weight. The Velcro close keeps items from falling out—a problem with my other small bags.
Being a Peak Design fan, and owner of multiple items I really could not find a need for the Field Pouch. A sale price offer triggered my purchase and again I am happy to report that another functional and quality Peak Design carry item is in my possession. The way the bag just seems to fit my daily needs is a feature I did not appreciate until I owned the item.
Pretty sleek! Room for my Fujifilm, extra batteries and memory card. I wish the strap was a little bolder, but it works great as a sling pack, or as a camera pouch in a regular backpack.
I was looking for something small and water-resistant to carry some small things (keys/wallet/phone, sunglasses, and occasionally my Ricoh GRIIIx camera). It's the camera that's the difficult one, I really want to keep it dry. The fold-over top makes me more confident than zippers as far as water intrusion, and I've had no trouble in light rain (haven't had it in heavy rain, but it's small enough that it would fit under a rain jacket!).
The included strap is functional, but is quite thin. Since I want to use it exclusively as a sling, I invested in a third-party strap with gatekeeper connectors and magnetic buckle -- there are many of these out there.
Other aspects of the pouch are great -- minimal organization (a positive to me), "expansion" from the folding top, and I've carried a small (16oz) Nalgene inside, or with a carabiner on the strap.
I bought this a month ago and it has been a pretty much constant companion ever since. I thought it be too small for my needs at first, but it has actually proven to be quite spacious. Yesterday I rocked it with a Ricoh GRIII, a Contax G1 w/45mm f2 lens, my airpods case, and my house and car keys aboard. I jammed my phone in too at one point, a bit tight but it still closed. I love the versatility and the look is fabulous. Goes with everything from polished blazer to tank top too...
