Peak Design’s new 25L Outdoor Backpack is fantastic, but only after you buy the optional smedium Camera Cube to give some structure and gear protection.
Perfect is a high bar to live up to, but it’s the word I used to describe my experience with Peak Design’s first backpack eight years ago. That 20-liter Everyday Backpack aimed at techies and camera nerds was so popular with Verge staff that we would often get our bags mixed up when gathered together at tech events. Back in 2016, I was hauling around a laptop; a DSLR with external flash and at least one long lens; a tripod; and a portable battery or two to keep everything charged.
Seeing all those untidy loops, cords, and other snaggy bits for the first time was a bit of a downer, until I realized many could be relocated or even removed entirely. I also didn’t like all the rumpled fabric when the bag was empty, but Peak Design has a fix for that as well. The 25L Outdoor Backpack is designed to work with Peak Design’s soft-shelled “smedium” $69.95 Camera Cube — it’s not small and not quite medium, but it’s just right for that main storage compartment.
