            @bargaino: That’s one definition that you’re cherry picking for your argument. Here’s another:

            a thing bought or offered for sale much more cheaply than is usual or expected.

            In which case, this fits in with the definition, especially if it it is not frequently discounted

  • johnwinds on 28/08/2022 - 16:05

    Having read the first review, I would probably get a bag like this if I did a lot of one pack travelling. It makes sense to optimise if you only have one pack and you're in a foreign country. I have to agree about not liking those Zoom zippers though.

    Been looking at some expandable backpacks recently and unfortunately, most of the premium ones are about this expensive, e.g. Nomatic Travel Pack, Aer Travel Pack, Tortuga Outbreaker.

    There are some decent-looking Chinese bags over at Aliexpress (look for the brand Ozuko) or by Mark Ryden, but there are not many reviews for those ones. There's also this one:

    With a review here:

            @FatBlanket: Nothing personal but it just irks me this argument.

            because you can’t afford it?

            I can afford one of these. I just don't see the value in lifetime replacement for this price.

            Let's say you get 10 years out of this bag. I bought a bag 1/3 the price and it lasts me 5 years. If I bought another and got 5 years again. Wouldn't you be ahead?

            Extrapolate that to 20 years and you would just about be even in price. In the meantime you could have outgrown one of the bags usefulness and gave it to someone else.

            That's assuming this bag lasts 20 years.

              @xoom: I beg to differ.

              I prefer it to last as long as possible so there is less waste in the world.

              The amount of bags, fibre materials ,clothing that goes into the tip is quite astounding.

              But by all means fee free to add to environmental waste without a 2nd thought.

                You're telling me. Someone who ran his things to the ground to get as much use out of anything I buy wasteful?

                We all want anything we buy to last. But there comes to a price point where diminishing returns come into play.

                  Yes some things can be over priced but if people are happy to pay for that amount then so be it and in addition I prefer to stick with brands I feel confident using even if it costs more

    Ok, just watched the features video. It’s an amazing bag! As mentioned, if I did more one bag travelling, I’d be snapping this up in a heartbeat. I’ve put my Peak Design 20l through hell and back, and it still looks and functions like new. They’re a great brand for those who are into photography and travel

  • Thrifty Dan on 28/08/2022 - 16:32

    On a positive note, if it gets stolen it’s very likely you can find the bag somewhere in a rubbish bin or bush. The thieves wouldn’t see the value of it and even I have trouble with this. However the bag will be more worth than what’s inside.

    • ihfree on 28/08/2022 - 19:16

      I dunno. Most of the target market would very quickly exceed the value of this bad with 1 item.

    I've had the peak design everyday backpack since when it came out on kickstarter back when i was in HS (i spent all my savings on it lol), and it is insane value for money. I saw a comment up above somewhere saying that their backpack was replaced. I can confirm, and I can one up them by saying that my peakdesign bag has been replaced a total of three times. I remember having bought it for $350 or so, and with three basically new bags being shipped out to me every time a chain broke or something, peak design's pricetags are definitely more than worth it.

    • bargainerpro on 28/08/2022 - 22:40

      I'm not sure having an item fail that many times to warrant a replacement speaks for the quality you'd expect from something at this price range.

      Imagine saying that the BMW you just bought for 150k is awesome because you had to have it sent for repairs and have parts replaced (outside of regular servicing) 3 times already and that being an awesome thing.

      It just doesn't work like that.

      • EnergicAU on 28/08/2022 - 22:47

        No, that's like saying a Toyota you bought has a faulty airbag and they give you a new car instead.

        • bargainerpro on 28/08/2022 - 22:53

          Ah yes, a Camry that costs 500k. At that price range, the manufacturer can easily afford to give you a new one occasionally, since it covers their costs 10x over.
          Not a great deal in my view, but to each their own.

    • TheRealCJ on 29/08/2022 - 04:23

      I wish I could get one. Unfortunately in my experience trying them out in shops, the straps are too short for me, the bag tends to ride up on my shoulders and since it's a rigid bag, it basically sticks out behind my back, pretty much completely useless for my needs.

  • Thereisnospoon on 28/08/2022 - 16:39
    +12

    A word to the wise, this large "carry on" backpack is 2.05kg. This makes it pretty useless for budget airlines with a 7kg carry on limit (29% of your allowance in bag alone). If you're at all interested in one bag travel (ie the market that this bag is supposed to be appealing to), there are far more sensible options available.

        It is a massive, 45L backpack so you'd expect it to be quite heavy. Something like the Osprey Farpoint 40 is slightly lighter at 1.44KG

        https://www.osprey.com/us/en/product/farpoint-travel-pack-ca…

        Straying away from the premium brands though can net you lighter, much much cheaper bags at the cost of less premium materials. Like this one that goes to 39L @ 1.5KG.

              +2

              @ihfree: Thats a fair point.

              But this bag is popular with camera enthusiasts because of the padding and protection it provided.
              The weight is due to the extra material used.

              At the end of the day the weight may not be an issue for other people.

              For example some people can get by with a Honda Civic for a daily. But some people might prefer a BMW with extra features. And if a Deal for a BMW comes in its good for those people who want a BMW. But for people who are happy with a Civic but neg a deal for the BMW because it doesn't suit them seems a bit unfair.

      • Thereisnospoon on 28/08/2022 - 17:22

        Ultimately it depends on many factors, like what gear you need to carry; how you want to carry your gear and your budget. On the cheaper end something like a farpoint/porter/kathmandu litehaul (don't pay $300 for it though). There are no shortage of higher end offerings from the likes of AER (xpac versions), minaal, tom binh ect.

        I myself am rocking an MEC vapour overnighter as it was cheap and has enough capacity for me. One thing to consider is if you need to carry your bag a lot at your destination (get a semi-proper harness system with hip straps) or if you want to setup a base and bring a lightweight packable day bag.

        I'd say overall it's better if you can fit your gear into something closer to 30L.

        Some people pay $500 for a Seiko Watch.

        Some people pay $15k for a Rolex.

        ITs up to people what to spend it on and if people are after this bag and see a deal they will be happy with it.

        This deal isn't for everyone as OP has mentioned.

        • ihfree on 28/08/2022 - 20:09

          Many users here would also hate the $500 Seiko roughly on the same grounds as this bag.

            Some people who get a watch with GPS.

            so your comment of who needs anything beyond a f91w is pretty invalid.

    • FimpBARGAIN on 29/08/2022 - 20:54

      Agreed, i used to carry-on only doing FIFO to Emerald (Qld) and lusted after bags like this for many nights.
      My old ogio bag finally started to die and I couldn't justify the weight, especially in those regional flights where they frequently check☹️

      Ended up finding a ripcurl f-light bag, 40L at less than 1kg with full clamshell opening. Zips are no-name so just use seperate compression straps. Think I got that on clearance for about $120 + $10 for the straps.

      Only better option I think are some of the lightweight duffels like patgonia sell, but I don't travel that much these days…

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 29/08/2022 - 08:10

        I'm cringing at the idea of people stupid enough to believe this bag is the only way to protect camera gear, or solutions don't exist to protect camera gear inside other bags like an Osprey. Guess what? You can. Source: I've backpacked to 70 countries on multiple trips with all kinds of bags. I am also a Peak Designs customer. There are always pros and cons for each set up. This product is not for everyone, though this deal is still a bargain. The elitist mentality of some Peak Designs defenders is horrendous.

        • TheRealCJ on 29/08/2022 - 14:51

          Oh yeah, I love having to stop and unpack my entire luggage to get to my camera and lenses, then repack it afterwards. Every single time.

          • NoApostrophePlurals on 29/08/2022 - 16:47

            @TheRealCJ: Once again, mind-blowing how shallow minded that is. This is not the only solution, it may be one of the best, but that doesn't mean there can be alternatives.

            That would be like a beachfront home owner saying to someone oh yeah, I love having to pack a beach bag and my car for a day, get into my car, drive to the beach, then shower off the sand before getting into my car, then having to drive home afterwards. Every single time.

            I'm just pointing out the absurdity that someone would be dumb enough to assume someone would just throw a camera and lenses around a normal backpack without protection.

            It may not be as convenient to have a side access zip to get to your camera gear or easily accessed, but those are luxuries you pay for, as is the lifetime warranty.

                @TheRealCJ: You're allowed to have your preferences, that's fine, you're once again missing the point. It's not the only solution.

                The comparison is valid. Your main points are that some people can afford to make their lives more convenient and invest in doing so, if you can't afford something, then cringe on you, buddy, that you have to do something that would make your life less convenient, you poors.

                You make it out like peak designs is the only specialised camera bag in existence of its the only option available like Lowepro never had side access compartments or camera cubes to put inside bags.

                You're the one cringing at others for not being able to afford expensive or the best alternatives. You're trying to insult an entire class of people that can't afford more expensive alternatives and completely invalidating thousands of other people's use cases. Maybe you're the one who should get over yourself. Don't get so triggered when you get called out on for having an elitist mentality.

                I do agree with you that I also prefer specialised camera bags to protect my gear and they're easily the best solution, but when I started out travelling, bags in this price point were simply out of my budget and I had to be creative in how I transported my camera gear when travelling. It was a long time before I stepped up to my Peak Design, Wandrd, Aer etc bags.

                  @NoApostrophePlurals: I'm cringing at dudes who think that comparing a piece of specific equipment designed for a task to a piece of general equipment not designed for the same task is fair or even logical. And you're here like "well if you heavily modify the cheaper product you can make it work!" like that's a logical leap. Just because they're both backpacks doesn't mean they're designed for the same purpose.

                  If I compared a pelican case to a plastic tub from kmart, would you be saying the same thing? Of course not, because that's ridiculous.

                  If they were to compare a camera bag to another camera bag, I would've said nothing, and in fact I would've likely agreed with them. But that's not what they did. They compared a camera bag with a hiking day pack based not on features or use cases, but price alone. And now you're here, saying "but they're both backpacks and if you spend a tonne of extra money on stuff to make it like a camera bag, that makes them exactly the same!" Then call anyone who points out the ridiculousness of this comparison stupid and elitist.

                  Why don't you jog on.

                    @TheRealCJ: JFC. Re-read what you said. "I'm just cringing at the idea of someone trying to put their lenses and camera bodies just freefloating around in an open bag cavity."

                    I don't think you understand, that's not happening in majority of cases. You're really reaching.

                    People aren't throwing their gear unprotected in an open bag cavity.

                    You've been arguing about something completely different the whole time.

                    "..if you spend a tonne of extra money on stuff to make it like a camera bag.."

                    You know what's hilarious, is that this backpack isn't a camera bag either. News flash, it has the same "open bag cavity " you're cringing at as well. Guess what, you're gonna also have to spend a tonne of extra money on stuff to make it like a camera bag!

                    This is a Peak Designs travel backpack with some of their brilliant camera bag features, but a standalone camera bag it is not.

                    Anyways, I've had enough of this thread. Can't argue with stupid, or you'll drag me down to your level.

                    Have a nice day.

    Don't get the hate I see here - I always find it really strange that people always complain about everything these days being cheap shit that breaks after a year and just ends up in landfill, and then turn around and complain about quality stuff that will actually last because it's expensive.

    Having owned some Peak Design stuff in the past, their gear is really good quality. Even leaving aside all the features which you may or may not need, they really do last. I have a PD backpack that I've owned for almost 10 years that still looks and works as well as it did back then despite being used every day, carrying a crap tonne of stuff and being thrown around without too much care. I've no doubt that my PD bag will last for years more. I paid $350 or so for it back in the day, is it really "expensive" when you compare it to $50 bags that last a year?

      I have a $50 backup that has lasted 4 year as of now and still going strong. It doesn't always have to cost a fortune to get quality stuff. Ever heard of cheap and best? $418 for a backpack cannot be justified by any means. How much do you think they made it for in their china factory? 300?200?100? Absolutely not. It would have cost max 10% of their so called RRP($503) to make it and that is sold at 10X the cost price to you. Still think its a good deal?

        What model? Not being facetious, if it's a good quality product, I'd definitely love to try it.

        I suspect your $50 backpack is probably used to carry a laptop for 30 mins a day. This is a completely different use case to carrying 10kg+ of equipment for hours day-in, day-out.

        $418 for a backpack cannot be justified by any means. How much do you think they made it for in their china factory? 300?200?100? Absolutely not. It would have cost max 10% of their so called RRP($503) to make it and that is sold at 10X the cost price to you. Still think its a good deal?

        Out of all the things in this world that "cannot be justified by any means", an expensive backpack would be pretty low down the chain.

        FWIW, I think that you're comparing two fundamentally different backpacks. If you want to buy a backpack to carry your laptop to school every day, then sure, the $50 backpack is fine. If you are carrying 10kg of photography equipment, then no, your $50 backpack will definitely not hold up well. The seams start falling apart, the zippers start getting stuck, the straps can't handle the weight so the backpack sags and is no longer ergonomic…etc.

        Still think its a good deal?

        Read my comment again, then talk. Did I ever say that it's a good deal?

        No, because for most, it is not a good deal. However, it does not mean that the market for it does not exist.

          Design and development costs, after-sales service, and lifetime warranty should be considered too.

        Everything out of China is in the same situation. Your $50 backpack likely cost $2 to produce and the market on it isn’t any less obscene.

    Don't see how this is like 10 times better than those Dell backpack deals posted here in OzB.

    • p1 ama on 28/08/2022 - 18:28
      +6

      It's a different use-case. The Dell backpacks are fine if you're just carrying a laptop and your daily lunch on the train every day. They're not built for hours and hours of carrying and for big, heavy stuff. These Peak Design bags are built for cameras and have the appropriate build / padding / support to make them comfortable for carrying long hours.

      Having used ~$50 backpacks, they're fine for a laptop, but once you start carrying a few 5kg+ of camera gear, the seams start falling apart, the zippers start failing…etc. after less than a year.

      FWIW, this bag isn't for everyone, and if a $50 Dell backpack works well for you, then this just isn't the bag for you. It doesn't mean that it's not the bag for everyone.

  • ozchobie on 28/08/2022 - 18:23

    Would recommend packing cells with these as there's not much compartments inside. It's a convertible backpack/luggage back with lifetime repair and replacement.

    Good brand but costly. I’ve had my Peak Everyday backpack bag since they first released. I did need to use my lifetime warranty as a latch broke but they sent me a brand new bag and sent me back my broken bag too. After a few home-repairs I now have 2 bags! Think I’ve had them about 6 years or so and are used most days and for travel. They’ve both got many years left in them. Worth it.

    • ankor on 31/08/2022 - 19:44

      Mine is looking worse for wear too. The colour has gone from that brown colour to a weird green and it isn't the latches, it is the loops that hold the main strap that are slowly breaking.

      I wonder if I'll be able to claim the lifetime warranty on it. I've got a PD everyday messenger, everyday 30L backpack v1 and an everyday sling 5L v1 as well lol

    I have Peak design messenger bag when they prototype on kickstarter. the quality of the strap and locking mechanism was top notch. But I feel these days they are getting too expensive for what they are compared to when they first started. Seems like they now have some brand recognition and jacking up the prices.

      Agree, I'm a kickstarter backer too and it made a lot of sense back then, at the kickstarter price.

      Over the years, the competition has copied a lot of their ideas for less $$. Consumer wins.

    This is a similar style of bag and can be had for ~$180. Great built quality and warranty. Not sure if I like the idea of replacing a bag 3 times in 5 years.

    Post doesnt belong here in the slightest, backpack at most costs even at a extravident $50 to produce. 15% off a ripoff item is not Ozbargin material, Lets all start posting 15% a pair of socks at RRP for $50 selling for $35.. This post Doesnt Qualify,, remove.

      Country of origin is largely irrelevant.
      You should be concerned about the quality of the product.

        How the products were made, how the labour force were treated, how and where the materials were obtained and sourced from also irrelevant?
