I’ll second you there, my PD 30L pack has been pretty amazing for a year now. It still looks brand new but gets used heavily about 5 days per week.
A year isn’t that much I guess, but I’m always blown away by how durable it has been. It really does look a lot like the day I got it.
Apart from being durable I love the way it looks and the overall utility is hard to beat too. While it isn’t cheap, I can’t see myself needing more from a bag or breaking this one soon enough for the cost per year to seem high relative to other bags I’ve had.
Also worth mentioning is that their customer support is second to none.
I’m just a customer for what it’s worth, not getting paid to say anything about them.
- nl 5y agoI got a Peak Design 30L when they did their Kickstarter, so I've been using it since heavily I guess Jan 2017 (although a lot less since 2020), and it's been great. The fabric backing on bottom parts of the padding at the back of the pack has started to wear through though. I guess this is where it rubs most on my back, and I was walking maybe 5km a day with it daily for a few years. Still, very happy with it.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoAh, this reminds me - I’ve walked with mine a lot too, and the only thing I can really criticize is that the shoulder straps aren’t quite what I’d like them to be. They seem a little too narrow. When my pack is light it’s not so bad, but if it’s really loaded, it gets pretty uncomfortable. Do you know if the bag has changed much since the kickstarter? I wonder if they’ve addressed potential wear like you’ve experienced. Regardless, 5 years is not bad for a heavily used bag!
