I got the 30L v1 at launch. I have used it a LOT and it still looks (almost) brand new. Crazy durable, comfortable and practical. As I already have one, I could not see enough changes in the v2 to upgrade, but let me give my warmest recommendations for this bag. If possible, do test it in person, to check if the 20 or 30 is right for your body size. Comfort is as important as capacity.

I love how your reviews are so detailed, easy to listen to and a good length. So glad I’ve found this channel that focuses on efficient design.

This might be a weird compliment, but you have a really good diction and I can watch this easily on 1.5x

Thank you for this review, I really like how you showed the different sizes of the bags on you, really gives us an actual view and perspective of the differences in sizes on an actual person's back, very much appreciate that.

I know nothing about tech backpacks but this dude did an amazing job in its breakdown. Video was really easy to watch and really educational for people who know nothing about these things

[TeamAPS]

Very informative! Just what I was looking for. I think you sold me on this bag.

[marielaqua]

Excellent thank you
You showing how the bag actually works with the shelves and the top opening was exactly what i was looking for

This is such a good video, was desperately looking for a full rundown of the new version 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[bryancicerchi]

Can you send a link of where you got that water bottle?

[simonmorter]

Mate this video is so good. Seriously!! Well spoken, detailed coverage and some humor and lightheartedness with the beer test!! Fucking love it!!

[OswaldoLafee]

on a random side note, how did you manage to find a t-shirt with the EXACT same color of the background??? thanks for the video!

[Rochielin]

Love this video. The explanation was very clear

I have the large V1 bag because it takes large zoom lenses and a 150mm filter pack in a neat size and I always put my camera in the top compartment for easy access. I am disappointed however to see the new version hasn't addressed any of the problems I found: first and foremost, no quick and easy way to attach a tripod, I tried the elaborate lashing on the back which PD show on their video but it's just way too fiddly and doesn't suit a full size tripod. I think PD have sacrificed useability here for appearance's sake which is supposed to be against their design approach, same can be said of the messenger bag. Second, the bottom zip is unnecessary and is a weak point which lets in water on damp ground and is the first thing to get marked. Third, when you take equipment out what do you do with the lens cap/body cap or hotshoe cover? You chuck it in the top or space it came from, but it ends up falling through the gaps and you have to fish around after to find it. An inherent problem with this bag design, the dual access means that when you change lenses or need access to the side pockets inevitably what you need is on the opposite side to the one you have open, so you have to zip that up first or risk your gear falling out, roll it over and get into the other side, all very time consuming and inconvenient. And finally the shelves don't give much support, if you take something out the upper ones with a large lens or camera body will sag so the equipment lower down is actually taking some of the weight. On the plus side it is robust and despite what someone else has said I find the straps surprisingly good, a hip support would be good although that would add a lot to the bulk; if I find the loaded bag uncomfortable it's because the stuff inside is too heavy and I replace it with lighter options.


The changes in V2 are minor tweaks, mainly cosmetic, and it is a shame PD haven't taken on board user experiences.

Thank you! This is the backpack I need to carry my day-to-day set up at work! Thanks man!

Great review of the bag. Unfortunately this bag seems much cheaper than the last version:

-Accent stitching is missing in areas.
-The leather on the side handles is gone.
-No more waist belt included (wtf).

-I hate that the side flaps have much less pockets. As a photographer all those little battery pockets were extremely useful and I use them all the time.
-Also not a fan that the side flaps don't have a zipper cover over the whole area. When I'm working on the go I don't want to worry about losing a small battery or card because I'm changing a lens.
I feel like they didn't fix a single thing that would have improved the usefulness of the bag, just cut corners for profit and did minor aesthetic improvements.


Still great review, I hope more of the community speaks up about this. Peak Design has been an amazing company for working professionals, but lately I feel like they're going the direction of making fashion accessories instead of useful chic gear.

Simple and direct, no bits of wasting time talking about how your weekend is doing. Sub +

You are so good at reviewing quality products! Keep it up!

Great video, can a 16' Macbook Pro fit in the bag?

[somuchwhat]

Based on this video I bought this bag (from your link!), and it's now sitting next to me. I've been looking for a good weatherproof backpack for a while, so this was just what I wanted.

[stevocem]

Nice video, but the impossibility to open the bag fully to access and organize the gear in addition to the compromised bad weather protection, when the bag is full, those two factors make me think a lot, maybe Lowepro Protactic is more practical for photo gear.
