This is where the real storage party happens. The main compartment is spacious, with a light gray lining that helps you spot your stuff quickly.
The layout is dialed in to match Peak Design’s travel ecosystem, tech pouches, camera cubes, and packing cubes all fit like puzzle pieces.
Expanding the bag to 45L is easy thanks to the side zippers. Compressing to 30L is a bit trickier, you’ve got to clip and tighten the interior toggles, but it works when you need to slim things down.
On both sides, you’ve got oversized water bottle pockets that also double as tripod holders. Pair that with the external straps from earlier and you’re covered.
There’s also a hidden zip pocket that’s perfect for a book or boarding pass. Oh, and side access to the main compartment means photographers can grab gear without taking the whole bag off.
That side handle though? It’s stiff and clunky. Peak Design might have built it for camera setups, but it’s not comfortable to grab.
Thankfully, the bottom handle is awesome, especially when lifting the bag into an overhead bin.
