Peak Design 25L Outdoor Backpack review: rugged versatility with a premium price

The Peak Design 25L Outdoor Backpack is a rugged, versatile bag that can double as a camera bag when used with Peak Design camera cubes; it features a roll-top entry with a cinch, deep side pockets (great for a tripod and water bottle), a laptop sleeve, and hydration options. While well-built and adaptable for hiking and outdoor shoots, it offers limited internal storage and padding, and the wide straps can be uncomfortable on smaller frames. It’s best for outdoorsy photographers who already own Peak Design cubes and don’t mind the premium price, with pricier alternatives or other brands as more budget-friendly options.
