Great travel pack with clever details
I bought this backpack about a month ago and took it on a week-long trip and used it for my commute to work along with additional gym clothes. It’s lightweight but sturdy, easily fits my 13" Macbook and iPad Pro and offers lots of room for clothes, camera gear. I especially chose it for the clamshell design that makes packing und unpacking a lot easier. My expectations were fully met and so far I could not find anything that really bugs me. The top compartment for smaller items is easy to access and fits chargers, AirPods, a wallet and sunglasses. What I do not quite get is the magnetic bottom pocket where I would never put in something besides the additional straps (which I did not use yet). I would not trust it to keep things safely stored when e.g. I’m on a bumpy bike ride. Anyway, great backpack which will hopefully stay with me for a long time.

Best backpack for any occasion
Thoughtfully designed product that has served every need I have had thus far. It’s sleek, comfortable, has amazing amount of space, and pockets for everything. Especially with the packing cubes, I can fit so much! I absolutely love it

My new go-to backpack
I purchased this about a month ago and it was my first Peak Design purchase. This thing is so good it makes me wish I traveled more. It's got plenty of space and the design appears simple at first glance, but the more you examine it the more you realize it's optimized beyond belief. I got midnight blue which is such a fresh color, and I would recommend this bag to anybody.

Superb organization for tech and travel
I visited the peak design store for a warranty issue that was expertly resolved and laid eyes on the travel backpack. The internal design for organization and the features included were excellent. Wmith space for a 14 inch laptop and tablet, organization for SD cards, cords, included deep water bottle pockets externally and expandable design, I had to try it out for my upcoming international trip and this bag did not dissapoint. Its sleek look but functional features are second to none that I've found. Its easy to access in tight spaces like a plane seat but also opens fully when at your destination. It is comfortable to carry and durable. I have a few more international trips planned this year that require quite a bit of tech to carry and am extremely happy to have found this bag. It's perfect for me. You will not be dissapointed if you try it.

Great design, great adaptability, great product!
Great bag for hybrid situations between travels and possible daily usage thanks to a much smaller footprint than the 45L. Very comfortable, at least for my body type, easily adjustable and great features and design. I just miss some of the features of the 45L (full back access, side access, hip attachment).

Perfect Backpack for Travelling
Been looking to replace my old faithful travel backpack and this one is really a big upgrade especially with the design and quality of materials used. Can be put into so many storage configurations and multipurpose. Will thoroughly maximise its use during my upcoming travels

My cats love it!
My cats will give a 10 stars review. It's perfect cat bed, they love it and sleep on it every single day. Good that I have both 45L and 30L version so I can switch out when I need one as backpack. As a backpack, it has great features and I enjoy using it while traveling. I find it a tad too heavy for this size category though and the shoulders straps are not that comfortable. I hope there will be an updated version with lighter material and improved shoulders starps, then my cats won't need to share their bed with me when I travel. Oh and this cat bed (backpack?) is fur collector (but it is not too hard to clean the fur from it).
