    Hermes of backpacker???

    • hermes is for those pained by inflation …louis vuitton is for those who don’t know what inflation is …

    • NO RGB NO DEAL

    Lmao wtf. This is OzBargain boy, not OzBoujee…

      Well why don't you find and post some bargains of your own? Because apparently you're just here to whinge about other people's posts. You complain about the content but contribute literally zero.

      Come on then, post your bargains.

      • Quality > Quantity.

        In my case, I've got 0 but my first post will be epic.

        • So you got nothing and you're just here to whinge. Gotcha.

          Given you've been here for three years, your first post better be the greatest bargain of all time.

          • @TheRealCJ: Pretty much. I live a very sad and lonely life. Shitting on other people's bargain is all I am good for.

          You're selling yourself a little short ChickenDinner123. You literally got a First post wonder badge for your first deal

    $400 for a regular travel bag with compartments?

    • +1

      Wait till you see how much they charge for travel cubes..

    • +5

      For a camera bag, which frankly, if you can find a decent camera backpack with a lifetime warranty for under 200 bucks, good luck to you.

      • To be honest, $400 is reasonable

        • +4

          I've been using this $99 bag for the last 3 years, it was even $10 cheaper when I bought it.

          Bought it for travel right when COVID hit so it's only recently been getting some proper use but it has travelled a few countries with me already this year and is holding up well. My camera and lenses have not been damaged in them and it seems very well built for only a fraction of the price as OP's bag. It sells for $194 on Amazon and the reviews are just as good as my own praise for the bag.

          • +2

            @Cyphar: I'm clearly a Dad now, because I think that would actually also make a really good nappy bag as well. Nappy bags are bloody overpriced for what they are too.

          • +2

            @Cyphar: Upvoted for constructive post - thanks for providing an alternative rather than just criticising the OP.

        • I also have this Boundary Bag for $350, just love the quality.

    That’s some Peak pricing there.

    'Premium'

    Mod: Removed foul language

    • +18

      There are some brands that are worth paying this much.

      I paid a couple of hundred for my crumpler back pack and they have a life time warranty where they have replaced my bag two times in the span of 5 years.

      If Peak has a similar thing then its well worth the money.

      And the two times it was replaced was actually my fault too.

      I couldn't go back to a cheap $20-30 Adidas /Nike back pack after using a premium one. Even the Dell ones which look like premium for a fraction of the price don't feel as good as these brands.
      My friend uses Peak design bags and will not go back to a cheaper bag after using one.

      Just the support and quality feels so much better.

      Also this is a 45L bag so its on the larger size.

      But each to their own i guess.

      • +13

        Not sure if part of the peak marketing team or someone trying to justifying their expensive bag purchases.

      • +4

        I remember paying $250 for a macpac travel backpack in HK in 2006 and has been in constant use to 2022 I’ve taken it overseas twice. If people complain about the price of quality products then the obvious solution is to make more money.

        • +13

          What's the point of bragging about taking a bag overseas? I've taken a regular backpack overseas, it survived, didn't have to worry about losing it either.

          • +3

            @spacemannn: Haha yes I have a 30 Dollar backpack that I not just used for domestic and international travel .. but also as a daily driver for more than 6 years now (still holding up exceptionally well)… I don't argue that quality is a thing. Just that each one has his/her own sweet spot

          • +3

            @spacemannn: I backpacked through Europe for a month with a $50 Decathlon backpack. Can I also get in on this medal ceremony?

          • @spacemannn: What is a regular backpack in this context?

            I've had a quite a few backpacks including both mine and my partner's backpacker style backpacks start fraying at seams. Complete failure wouldn't have been great overseas.

            I don't think you need to spend this much, but a quality backpack is worthwhile for travel.

            • +4

              @ihfree: AT the end of the day there is people who will pay for this back pack.

              IF there is a discount they will be happy with it.

              But there is so many people comparing this to a cheaper back pack.

              Are we going to now start compare people who would be just fine with a Honda Civic as opposed to someone who will get a BMW etc.

              I feel that people negging this deal is quite closed minded as if its not for them doesnt mean its a bad deal.

              • +1

                @SpeedRunnerLink: I think we’re both on the same page.

                I’m just wondering what a “regular backpack” is and pointing out that you don’t need to pay this much for a quality backpack. I don’t actually have an issue with the backpack.

          • @spacemannn: The point is making a 22mins video about the bag and put it on youtube.

      • +6

        Peak does have a lifetime warranty and they replaced my V1 messenger bag with a V2 when I had an issue. They are great bags.

      • +2

        I think you mean cortical. When you're trying to sound clever you need to get the spelling and grammar correct as a minimum. What they are actually evidence of is disbelief that anyone could think that $418 for a backpack is a bargain.

  • +7

    At that price it should have all the bells and whistles but sold by NO FRILLS 🤣

    • +1

      Yes true hyper inflation is here. $500 for a no frills day pack.

      And how much was hotel quarantine on your return (in 2021)?

  • No one in this community accepts this as a bargain. Boy, you are in the wrong place

    • +2

      Says the guy who has been here for two weeks and has yet to post anything.

  • +9

    Excellent brand, but very expensive. I’d prefer an Osprey 45l backpack with some packing cells for half the price

    • +6

      Yeah but you can’t flex on your fellow commuters and colleagues with an osprey.

    • What are packing cells?

      • +2

        Loads of different types, but essentially they are smaller compartments you can store things in (from clothes to camera gear). They come in all shapes and sizes and help keep your backpack organised and minimise unused space

    • +1

      That would be completely useless as a camera backpack unless you plan on stopping and unpacking your entire bag every time you want to take a photo.

      • Yes, but other Peak Design bags are made for photography

        • What's that got to do with the Osprey?

          • @TheRealCJ: You were talking about the Osprey? My bad. You can still use the Osprey for photography travel, you just need to use packing cells to help compartmentalise your gear. Similar to the way Peak Designs have made their 45l travel bag

  • +6

    I'd buy the LTT backpack over this

    • Does the LTT one have a lifetime warranty? If so, agree

      • Yeah I think so

      • It didn’t at first. Now has an explicit written “limited lifetime warranty”.

  • +12

    Did Linus price this?

  • +14

    Incredibly high-quality bag, so nice discount. Plus lifetime guarantee on the bag as well.

    Like every other premium deal on this site, if you don't understand the price, you simply don't meet the entrance requirement for the deal - don't be depressed, move on.

    • +12

      if you don't understand the price, you simply don't meet the entrance requirement for the deal

      OzBargain equivalent of spitting on the poor

      • +14

        While he didn't phrase it very elegantly. The point is correct - if you don't understand why this is a bargain that's fine - but accept you're not the target audience and move on.

        If you don't understand, think of it like this. You're basically like a guy who comes here and says Asus GeForce RTX 3090 TUF 24GB OC Gaming Graphics Card for $1799 ??? What's the bargain, I could get a whole PS5 for less!

        • -1

          While he didn't phrase it very elegantly.

          Why do I need to be "eloquent"? You seem to think this is an issue of 'misunderstanding'. It is the same egotism that occurs in every thread by those who think the world revolves around them, as clearly demonstrated by @Techie4066.

          • @Bobby Hill: Whine about it.
            You're the only pressed one unfortunately. Can't take a joke :)

      • +1

        More like egotism by those so self-centered that they think the world revolves are around them. If this is not in your price point, why on earth would you even bother to comment? Move on with your life.

    • +7

      I’d be more depressed if I saw value in a $418 travel backpack and acted like you have to be someone special to “understand” it.

      • +2

        Meanwhile people paying 60k+ for cars or 45k for arts degrees lmao

        • At least you could argue a case for the 60k+ car haha

          • +13

            @Lou Sarsol: I dunno mate, I'd rather a 30k car and a sick camera setup. To each their own right?

            If I've got two $4,000 camera bodies, a few $3,000 lenses and CFexpress cards for days at $600 a pop, I'd want something to protect my gear and my back.

            Not saying this is a good bag for that but it's a tool like anything else. Some people pay $2k to get their car a certain colour.

            • @frowny: You make a very valid point 👏👏👏

            • @frowny: Totally agree mate if you’re choosing between the two. I just meant that at least a 60k car generally offers something extra to justify the higher price in my opinion, unlike a travel backpack with a $500 rrp.

    • -1

      Incredibly high-quality bag

      What exactly makes a bag 'incredibly high quality'?

      if you don't understand the price, you simply don't meet the entrance requirement for the deal

    every peak design thread bunch of people outraged. expensive items discounted are still bargains ya twits

    • +15

      People happy to get $3 cashback but not happy when other people who want to spend $500 save $85. It's simpler to just move on if it's not something you're interested in, instead of being outraged by what other people want to do with their money

      • -2

        You're mistaking outrage for amusement.

    • expensive items discounted are still bargains ya twits

      Not if they are veblen goods.

      A Veblen good is a type of luxury good for which the demand increases as the price increases, in apparent (but not actual) contradiction of the law of demand, resulting in an upward-sloping demand curve. The higher prices of Veblen goods may make them desirable as a status symbol in the practices of conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure.

      Lowering the price of luxury goods can make them less desirable. The high price is why people want it.

                I guess we're different people on this website, because I came here to save money. If I were after a Peak Design bag that normally costs over $500, and I could get it for $420, that's a bargain in my eyes.
                If someone convinces me that I could get a different branded bag that is of comparable quality, warranty and features then it's up to them to argue that point instead of just Lo0k aT tHeM f0OlS sPenDinG MoNies

                  What if I offer you a banana for $500, then offer you a discount to $420? Still a bargain?
                  There is more to a genuine bargain than being sucked into cheap marketing tricks…

                  • @1st-Amendment: Why couldn't it be worth $500? You don't tell me if it's a collectable Mario Kart banana that lights up and will be replaced with same or newer under a lifetime warranty, that some people could value at that price.

                    If you're implying it's just a regular cavendish banana you can get from woolies for a buck, then you're comparing apples and oranges.

                    Not many people in here have provided an alternative bag with same features - they've just bashed the original price and there is obviously a market for the item at that price. And if that price is reduced, then it can be construed as a bargain. How much of a bargain is up to each individual, and it's not like you can give half a positive vote for half a bargain.

                    • @aragornelessar:

                      Why couldn't it be worth $500?

                      It could be worth $500, but the fact that we have 3 pages of comments about and the only evidence I could find to justify this value was 'it's premium bro…' is not really selling it. So let me put that back to you, what about this makes it worth $500 to you?

                      Not many people in here have provided an alternative bag with same features

                      Tell me the features worth $500 and I'll see what I can do. As a starter, here is my bag which I paid just over $100 for and it does everything I need in a bag:
