Kickstarter #13: The Outdoor Line by Peak Design

Back Kickstarter No. 13 now: www.kickstarte...
Peak Design was born in the outdoors. Our first product and the star of Kickstarter No. 1, Capture, was dreamt up during a hike and created to keep cameras accessible and safe while exploring. Since then, we've created a whole slew of products to support photography and outdoor recreation, but never a true outdoor photography bag - until now.
Enter the Outdoor Line by Peak Design.
Our most technologically advanced line yet, the Outdoor Line features rugged construction, brilliant comfort, and seamless integration with our Camera Cubes and Packing Tools. Lightweight enough for any trek and protective enough to hold your most precious gear, the backpacks and slings comprising the Outdoor Line are the most thoughtfully designed outdoor bags on the planet.
Back the Kickstarter now to get up to 25% off the Outdoor bag of your choice, and we'll see you out there.

[@peakdesignvideo]

Hey folks, we'll be trying to go through these comments and answer a bunch of questions, but we also encourage you to go check the FAQ and comments board on the Kickstarter page, as that will have many of the answers you'd need! Thanks for being rad.

I am a "everyday bag" owner and I used for everything and I wanted to buy a new "camera bag" for a more outdoors activities. I was looking at the Shimoda, but there was always something holding to get it I don't know what though. Now Peak Design comes out with this!!! I am hype af!!!

I had owned a lot of PD bags but finally had to sell them all because of the high weight. Trying to find the combination of camera bag and trekking bag and this came out. Just exactly what I needed

[@niallfeatherstone]

Have a look at atlas packs camera bags, I have their athlete and adventure bag and in my opinion the best outdoors bags you can get

[@JMurph2015]

Still 4.5 pounds is more than a 65L backpacking backpack 😅. This doesn't even have padding as an excuse.

[@cristibaluta]

@@JMurph2015 what do you mean it does not have padding? I thought the straps had more padding than necessary. I'd say the weight is in the middle, you are probably comparing with ultralight gear, which means ultrathin as well

[@JMurph2015]

@@cristibaluta the new PD does not have padding for camera gear inside. You still need a camera cube with these bags. Therefore, it will be even heavier than the quoted 4.5lbs. My 65L Osprey with complicated harness, padding on straps and all, still comes in right around 4lbs. You'd need a camera cube for that bag too, but it's starting at 1/2 lb lighter and is 20L bigger.

[@cristibaluta]

@@JMurph2015 I'm looking at Atmos and it's 4.6lb. I don't see so much padding, the back is mesh. It is also very thin material as i was expecting. PD has that laminated front to place the bag upside down and have access to your camera, how do you do that on osprey? PD it is made for outdoor but they still wanted to keep some photography stuff, i think the weight is alright

[@leakyabstraction]

Finally a sling that is not so bulky! The original ones simply have way too much structure; they're clearly designed for camera people, and that arguably adds compromises for pretty much all other use cases.

[@KPkeeper34]

I just wish that a cube could fit in there that accommodates a DSLR- The Xsmall is just a *tad too small

[@moritzvincon]

Absolutely killing it right now, don't need one right now but defiantly considering it next time around. Thats a bag the world hasn't seen before.

[@petch77]

Last week I was on a photo shoot at the Aiguille du Midi, Europe's highest cable car. I thought that with everything I'd brought along (camera, lenses, filters, tripod, action camera, warm clothes, water bottle, hydration, food, ...) my Peak Design EveryDay Backpack 20L bag was a bit "tight". And then I saw this bag, a Peak Design bag I'd never seen anywhere. I remained very intrigued until today. I had discovered the new Outdoor Line backpack before it was announced. This is exactly the bag I would have needed that day. And Peak Design makes it…

[@peakdesignvideo]

Nice! Did you chat with the person carrying it? Probably one of our ambassadors.

[@petch77]

@@peakdesignvideo I must confess that I was a bit confused. Seeing a Peak Design bag that I'd never seen before, even though I've been following the brand for many, many years (I have 6 Peak Design bags), I was taken aback. I didn't even think of taking a photo, even though I had the camera in my hands and we'd crossed paths several times...

[@cameranerdsmedia]

Looks amazing, great addition to the lineup! Peak design and outdoors are a perfect fit

Damn it! I just bought the 30L travel bag yesterday! It was the best peak design solution I could find for hiking and traveling.

Woouu this is amazing, I have been photo-camping for the last 5 years, and at the end I made my own system with different brands including the PD anchors for example, this look pretty good and it is covering plenty of the things I need out there, I will definitely take a look, thanks PD !

[@officervaca00123]

These are nice but I feel like they missed a BIG opportunity to include some form of additional carry, sleeve or strap point on the 7L sling to hold a water bottle. I mean if its for small hikes and outings a water bottle is still something I carry and having to cram it into my sling was the reason I stopped using the 6L sling they made and jumped over to Wandrds slings.

[@torb-no]

The Wandr sling can hold a water bottle?

[@sans-sheriff]

There are external bungee cordhook straps that can carry not only water, but a jacket…a tripod. A little more versatile, and more streamlined than a flappy mesh pocket imo

[@torb-no]

@@sans-sheriff They can be finicky to set up though. It's nice to have something that is permanently and quickly available. Don't get me wrong, I like the hook system for my PD backpacks for when I need it, but for something I *always* want to carry it seems less ideal.

[@officervaca00123]

Yeah so the wandrd sling has a little sleeve pocket with ties on the bottom as well as external straps on the front so when I go out for photos I have a water bottle in the pouch thing on the bottom and my tripod tied with the straps. ​@@torb-no

[@officervaca00123]

​@@sans-sheriffdefinitely more stable but the wandrd has both an in/out pocket beneath the bag and the external straps so people don't have to decide if they want to only one over the other. And a mesh pocket as a quick little zip in the side would still be beneficial when you need a drink.

[@chris31215]

[@aydenmcfly1362]

I can't wait to get this, just recently got into backpacking and have been looking for a bag that fits my modular lifestyle!!!!

[@ibnAsseggaf]

Why not include the hip belt with the 25L as well? I know for some people it may be unnecessary to have for a relatively small backpack, but for the rest of us it's definitely wanted. And at that asking price, it should definitely come standard with it. I'm sure many of us concur!

[@ibnAsseggaf]

@@cristibaluta I don't quite get what you mean by that? I know that it's included in the 45L version because it's much more needed but what I'm saying is that at that price point, it should come standard on the 25L as well. That's because a number of us would definitely use it frequently even on the 25L on certain occasions or specific needs/use case. And for those who don't use it as often or don't want it, just remove it or stow it away at the back.

[@cristibaluta]

@@ibnAsseggaf I personally prefer it this way because i never used a hipbelt for small bags and i do not want to find a place to store it forever in my house, or even worse throwing it away. Probably they could give it for 0$ to please all

[@ibnAsseggaf]

@@cristibaluta Yes, then they should make it an option for those who actually want the hip belt to include one for $0, making it easier for every to pick their own preference.

[@DanielPetukhin]

Its like Mystery Ranch and Peak Design bags made a baby!

[@vitaly9674]

This shows people climbing in these bags, using a bag like this for mountaineering/climbing compared to an alpine bag adds a ton of weight & alot of that weight not where you want it for those purposes. I like the PD slinigs & bags but I feel they really built these for the people that dont leave the groomed trail. I guess that is probably the majority of people that would buy these over an alpine/hiking/climbing bag though.

[@bobmarley-gy5tj]

Sage was all the rage !!!

[@Duckferd]

This would almost gauranteed be the best photography based outdoor system available, by a long mile. But to replace my Flash 55? We'll see XD, but there is already a bit of an uphill fight because the 45L bag weighs nearly 4 lbs... Hopefully it'll show up in stock at REI because more than anything, for hiking backpacks I'm gonna need to be able to try it (and I'm nowhere close to a PD store)

[@peakdesignvideo]

Whether it's an REI or another store we work with, you can always find anywhere that carries our gear on our website's store locator.

[@MARCOSIS82]

Gonna take advantage of the transparent cloud colorway and make that 25L glow with some LEDs! Edit, Maybe add a magnet holder for the main lid cable. So it stays in place along the pack!

[@TechWandererYT]

They look fantastic to be honest! Am tempted to say the least.

[@DimusTech]

Love it, but without the side access it's not for me, at least not as a camera bag

[@Quest88]

Lightweight with less padding is great. I still carry a tripod and waterbottle, but not a camera anymore as phones are so good nowadays.

[@liamburke1436]

What do you guys have against load lifts? Why only on the 45L? They really help with comfort... They're sorely missed on your other bags too... Any chance you'll reconsider and add them to the 25L?

[@peakdesignvideo]

Could be a potential future change. The idea of the 25L was for it to be stripped down to essentials, but we definitely hear you.

[@HDBnB1]

Amazing idea but a big miss for not making a 65L pack for the multi day hikers

[@gaborlenart]

Or a 35L for everyday use. For me the 25L is way too small for everyday use, and the 45L is too big.

[@kalvin.]

Are we gonna (finally) get an update on the Travel Backpack 45L? It’s been like 5 years and no changes to it despite new lines and updates to other bags and gear. Less weight, thicker/wider shoulder straps, the improved Zoom zippers, and maybe an improved collapse mode all seem like doable and welcome updates.

[@Kasirkin29]

Looks cool but when they say no gimmicky suspensions have not tried Ospreys Airspeed Mesh suspension system. It’s not only comfortable but the bag doesn’t sit on you back, the mesh frame does which also heavily reduces back sweat. I’m sure peaks bag will be nice as they always are

[@JMurph2015]

Yeah this looks like amateur hour frankly. They said the shoulder straps "distribute weight over a far greater area" when the shoulder straps are not supposed to have weight on them in the first place 🤣. Then they follow up that dumb statement with another about it being the most customizable harness they've ever tested when it is **clearly** less adjustable than any serious hiking or backpacking bag (infinitely adjustable chest length adjustment, memory foam hip belts, hip belt tension straps, better positioned load lifter straps, infinitely adjustable sternum straps, and the list goes on). I'm really disappointed because I was hoping PD would take a page from real, serious backpacks and make a great outdoor option.

[@madmalkav6540]

I’m also waiting for a camera bag company to make a big bag with a mesh like suspension system and a sane placement for a big hydration bag.

[@minorukuroda9595]

The zipper over the roll top would be nice.

[@PeterBravato]

Great new line!

[@PeterLariviere]

Looking forward to seeing this new line. Reviews of pre production items seem generally favorable but (and a big but) I have yet to see any reviews by serious wildlife and bird photographers. The unique nature of that photography and use of long lenses means reviews done to date are somewhat lacking in specifics I see as important to my style of photography. One negative I am sad to see is the lack of a water bottle pouch on the 7l sling. I often live to use a sling for batteries, extra sd cards, a small lens (in case) my keys and maybe a cliff bar or apple. The camera and ling lens on a strap system. But not having a way to carry water limits the time out I will have with this setup. For example I am just back from two weeks of shorebird and seal (the mammal not the singer!! Lol) photography. I went out one morning thinking it would be a one hour walk along the beach. Next thing I know three hours have passed and along with being a bit hungry I really would like a bit of water. But because I have just the camera and long lens and a few items in my 6l Peak Design sling I didn't have a place for water. .... in looking at reviews of the pre production slings I wonder why a water bottle pouch similar to what is available on the two packs wasn't added to the bottom of the sling?? Anyway just a thought for a future update. Peak Design thanks for finally designing something for the non urban photography crowd!

[@PetrKrenzelok]

I love and own lots of PD stuff. Not many ppl like roll-tops, but I do. Those new bags might look a bit weird at first sight, but the design grows on me 🙂They are both nice, but also a bit overcomplicated. My main gripe is with the roll-top section though - when fully loaded, the cinch closure does not go over the top, so zero protection from the rain, just a magnets? PD could be easily inspired by the likes of Wandrd here. This oversight mostly renders extended roll-top section a moot point here. Or you have to use some rain cover.

[@TimStahmer]

I’ve supported six of your past Kickstarters but I’ll be passing on this one. I’m sure the bags will be amazing, as all PD products are, but I’m more of an urban hiker who likes to travel light. Good luck.

[@claudioK5449]

Does the top compartment also have a zipper to close it or just a magnet? If it is fully packed, is there any risk that it opens during movement? Or that rain may get inside? Thank you!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@peakdesignvideo]

Top compartment is just the magnets and then it folds or rolls over from there. Rain shouldn't get in if it's closed properly and the bags are weatherproof, but in very heavy rains we recommend using the Rainfly.

Whats the weight? Seems heavy for a backpacking pack.

[@peakdesignvideo]

The 45L is 1.55kg and the 25L is 1.15kg. The hip belt adds .25kg to either. Since these are meant to be protective enough to carry expensive camera gear, they're a bit weightier than a dedicated ultralight backpacking setup.

[@jeremiahison2511]

I wonder what peakdesign would come up if they get into cycling.

[@peakdesignvideo]

[@qin1992]

Doesn't seems to be any effective cooling system on the backpack 🤔

[@commentsonthetube14]

Please redesign the hip belts. Ive learned over years of backpacking that the only style of hip belt that doesnt hurt my hip bones are the ones with V-style buckle straps. See z packs or some of the heavier osprey packs. They're so much more comfortable for anyone with prominent hip bones (and neutral for other folks). I can't buy a weight-carrying pack thst doesnt have a hip belt thst has this kind of distribution. I think the 25L day pack is fine with a straight single-belt style, but the 45L should really have 2 pieces of webbing per side like zpacks. Also, 45L seems a little small for backpacking. Would love to see 55 or 65.

[@GIJaneUSAF]

I searched high & low for a camera backpack that could also hold a hydration bladder, while keeping everything safely in place, and was also comfortable & small enough to travel with. It literally didn't exist until now 🥲 I'm so freakin excited!! I love PD and while having some appreciation for other outdoor/travel + camera style brands, like Nomatic, PolarPro, Moment, & Wandrd, I hated that other bags out there just don't work like the overall Peak Design system does. While they all have their strong suits, for me, the thought & detail that goes into everything PD produces.. ahh 🤌🏻 it's a breath of fresh air that just tickles my ocd ran brain in all the right places. Oh, and don't forget about the quality of everything as well! Love love love 😍🤗🥰 I will never travel or carry my camera without you! & a huge thank you for offering a Military Discount on top of all that 🫡 Y'all are the real ones. Like, you have a question or want to see everything their product has to offer? They have a fun informative video to answer. You need a product that doesn't exist? They literally make it. You need accessories to help you stay organized, or things to hold your camera and/or phone while going out & you want to stay looking great while doing it? They gottchu! You want quality products in exchange for your hard earned money, and items that can fit any lifestyle? They're waiting for you with open arms my man. You're lifestyle has changed and you're ready to move on to a new bag, but you need to get rid of the one you have, or you would like to buy second hand and save some money? They literally have a marketplace to buy/sell. So it's going to a new loving home instead of a landfill! Like.. what? Every question is answered & they handle business in a professional, ethical, and HUMAN way?! My dream company?! Yes! Alright enough ass kissing. I just appreciate a brand like you guys. You seemed to have figured it out and you have a great team of people behind your products & company. Along with the ability to maintain your image as a fun, caring company. Made for you.

Oh I love this. I'm a sucker for good outdoor gear. But going kickstarter? With the size, Peak Design has, is really getting ridiculous. Crowdfunding is not for large companies.

[@gloxton]

They started on Kickstarter (still have my original Capture Clip) and now use it to build hype and communicate with their base. In the past they've changed/added things because of feedback from backers (before the stuff went into production). That's pretty incredible. They care about their products and their customers and Kickstarter is the best way to engage with them. The bags are always going to be made because they set low goals (this has already got 5 times the required goal). Kickstarter is a great tool for them and us and it would be a shame if Peak Design leave it.

[@peakdesignvideo]

We get where you're coming from, but being completely privately owned, a launch of this scale would be a very difficult investment for us without crowdfunding. We do punch above our weight class in terms of market presence, but we're still a rather small company with fewer than 100 corporate employees, and we're determined to avoid outside investment. This allows us to make the products we want to make how we want to make them, without answering to a board of investors. It also makes this a much more pleasant place to work. In addition, Kickstarter is one of the best ways to connect with our community, which only becomes more important as we grow. It gives us a great forum to easily field and answer questions from customers publicly, and provide new products at a solid discount to backers, which we always love doing.

I have a couple of questions regarding the 25L Outdoor Backpack: 1. According to your kickstarter page, the smedium camera cube would fit perfectly, but there have been reviews saying that the medium cube would also fit, may I ask is that possible? 2. What is the brand/model of the water bladder that is used for demonstration on the 25L version? 3. Is the version being shown a final? It seems to me that the Ultra Cinch Loop tends to dangle around, and worse, would catch tree branches during hiking, would PD do anything to improve it before the backpack is shipped? 4. According to the reviews, the Ultra Cinch Loop system allows access to both the main compartment, as well as a deep pocket in front of it. Under heavy/mild rain, will water accummulate inside the deep pocket as it gets caught via the opening at the top? Many thanks Peak Design for the beautiful design btw.

I had long hoped that there could be a collab to combine PD's organizational and design skills with Osprey's load carry and back panel breathability (some aspects of which I believe are still under patent protection), but ever since Osprey sold out to Helen of Troy I've been really hoping Peak Design could take on the challenge solo of a benefits corp bringing a proper backpacking bag for photographers to the market. Without a contoured tensioned mesh back panel, and with that pivoting hip belt connection point, this is not that bag unfortunately. I'm skeptical of the top closure (the drawstring seems fiddly and like it would get caught on something on the trail). I suppose the market for these bags may be larger than the bag I've been hoping for, so I can at least understand the business decision to start the outdoor line with these bags, but nonetheless, I'm still a bit disappointed in the design here.

What kind of weight can the 2L sling bag take? Think I could use that as a lens swapping tool? And with the 45L bag, as the zip for the back access probably is not covered by the rainfly, what stops sustained wet conditions from getting in through the zips? If anything could the rainfly end up channeling water towards the uncovered rear access panel?

Sorry but the number of self-owns in describing the backpack harnesses was really cringe worthy. There are extremely good reasons that backpacking bags have more-or-less converged on similar harness designs to each other. I wish PD had just done a collab with one of the major outdoor backpack companies, they know what they're doing.

[@StefanoGirolimetto]

Amazing! Was really about time :) Will these bags get reviewed/previewed by other content creators before the kickstarter campaign ends?

[@linedwell]

@@StefanoGirolimetto "Content Creators" are basically advertiser's so I bet they'll send a few out to trusted 'partners' 👍 be interesting to see.

[@StefanoGirolimetto]

@@linedwell I appreciate these creators as they go into every single little details of the products.. which is very important to gear nerds like me 😅

[@linedwell]

@@StefanoGirolimetto PH has one and a review up

[@peakdesignvideo]

Most definitely! A couple have gone out so far from Pack Hacker and Danny Packs, and there will be more to come.

[@cristibaluta]

All the reviews are regurgitating the specs so far

[@dnbqup]

How weatherproof are the base bags without the rain fly?

[@peakdesignvideo]

They're functionally weatherproof so you'll be fine in regular rain. We recommend the Rainfly for very heavy rain, and the bags aren't submersible.

I'm a big fan of PD products and I own a bunch of them and I can't believe what ugly backpack they just created. I'm not too fond of the roll top, it's strings everywhere and has almost no zippers. Also, the g hooks on the back look like they will tear apart after 1-2 years of use if the backpack is heavier. I can see countless different ways to make a great backpack with all the PD clever stuff and yet you didn't do it.

Waiting for more video Outdoor 45L va Travel 45L. Or will there be updated on travel 45L. I'm currently saving for travel 45L want it to be one only back for my whole everyday to travel uses.

[@SoCalGOC]

Whats the dimensions of the packs? Curious if the 45L would be Carry-On Compliant as well. Now That would be awesome.

[@Nicholastank2]

What is the color on the inside ? Is it the standard grey color liner or is it the outside fabric color ?

[@sriabhi]

One day, pd will make stabilizer strap for using camera on biking. 3 way strap plz.

[@robfryphoto]

Nice!

[@derrickkelly4745]

Are the side pockets accessible when wearing the pack without having to dislocate my shoulder to access a water bottle whilst on the move?

[@freekvanootegem7462]

Can you add the sling 7l to the front of the 45l? That would be epic

[@peakdesignvideo]

Yep! Sure can

[@PeterReibel]

Man.. they've outdone themselves *again*.

[@leakyabstraction]

always loving products from PD. I have more than 10 PD products and this is something i want too! just wondering, how 'thin' is the 25L & 40L when not in used? planning to bring this along in my travels in a suitcase and using the bag only when i reach my destination. current 20L and 30L V2 cannot fit in a suitcase since they have a structured design.

[@peakdesignvideo]

Both backpacks are just a few inches thick without anything in them. For example, I've got my 45L tucked behind my bicycle gravity rack against the wall right now very easily. Just keep in mind that the 45L does have the internal frame so it shouldn't be folded, and the 25L does still have some structure to it even though it doesn't have the frame.

[@mdkhoi28]

@@peakdesignvideo thanks for the replying. In my future case, I'm thinking of laying this flat at the base in a suitcase and all other stuffs goes on top of it. When I reach my destination, it'll be my day bag when I'm out and about.

I hope there’s a sage I buy all the sage PD gear
