Totally! The everyday backpack v1 wasn't for me... I have the messenger bag but it honestly doesn't get used much anymore. But when I saw this I knew it would be a competitor for the PM bag (which I already had when I got the Peak). One thing I didn't mention that I appreciate is Peak Design's recycled materials and carbon neutrality (pretty sure they are anyway).

I agree with everything you say in this video, I've got the Peak Design with the medium cube as well. I especially like the zips, it's so nice to have no issues in opening the bag. Such a basic thing but you don't realize how much difference it makes until you put it to use. I use it as my main bag now and would recommend it to everyone.

Thank you for this! I've been in shopping hell as can't go into a store to really try them on and play around with all the options. This was the next best thing. I will get my Peak Design as it checked all of my boxes and hope it works out for my needs. Great review process.

I could totally see how you came to your decision and honestly can't argue against it too much. Having the PM bag and I love it, you definitely pointed out a couple of things on the PD that I wish the Nomatic had. Primarily the straps on the back and how they can hide away and how it has 2 side pockets with still full access. Great job laying it all out there.

Thanks a ton dude! Both great bags but those little touches are nice!

I have the Nomatic McKinnon bag and as far as comfort it’s probably the most comfortable bag I’ve ever had. I took a street photography trip to nyc and spent the entire day with this bag on my back. I walked from Times Square to the 911 memorial abs across the Brooklyn bridge where my car was parked. That’s a lot of waking. I carried my camera in my hand obviously, street photography, but I did have lenses in the bag and also my “water” bottled was kept full the entire time and in its pocket on the bag. Also had a jacket in the bag. When I got to the car my legs were killing me, but my shoulders were surprisingly great. Love this bag. I would still get it over the Peak even though I love peak design stuff. Both awesome bags, can’t go wrong either way.

Nice comments, David. I recently acquired the Nomatic 35L Camera Pack and so far, it does not disaapoint. The entire bag seems well-made, and the straps are also quite comfortable, even without using the chest strap or waist strap. Very impressed with the myriad of pockets, and the expandable front compartment is a bonus too. It's the only bag I've used thus far that can easily acommodate a long 180-600 telephoto zoom.

Really good comparison video! I bought the PD bag during the Kickstarter and agree with most of your observations. And there seems to be a lot to recommend in the PM bag as well. Sort of a personal preference thing. I actually use my bag more as an airline carry-on, or a weekend get away bag than for camera gear. I do have the small camera cube. I also have a PD 10 liter sling and the original Everyday Messenger, as well as several straps.

Just finished my first trip with the peak, thanks so much for the review! It’s amazing, the tuck away straps are next level. The whole thing just made sense. Having good handles on every side came in handy when I was grabbing it out of the over head. I had a Sony A7RIV, tamron 17-28 and 28-70, ronin rsc2 in the medium cube. Then a peak tech pouch with batteries and cables along with hats accessories in the big area with extra room. Extra pair of pants plus shirts, socks and underwear for three days. I’ll probably get the small cube next and ditch the ronin, probably have room for a week of clothes then.

Excellent review. Very thorough, thank you.

Great review and comparison

On the PD zippers you missed the fact that some of the pulls have a button that lets you tie them into some of the loops to help them stay shut. They can still open enough that you might lose some change or even keys maybe but it helps keep them in place. Especially if you don't open the side access from the bottom.

That hook at the start 👌🏼

Thank you for making this video, buying my dream camera soon and want to get the best bag I can.

Thanks for the comprehensive and quite interesting comparison between these two awesome camera backpacks! I actually went with the Nomatic 35L for mainly one reason...my local store had one, and it seemed to accommodate my NIkkor 180-600 just fine, with room to spare for 4 other lenses, 2 mirrorless bodies, plus myriad accessories. Regarding Peak Design, though I do have a few of their products (wrist straps, shoulder strap and anchors), I tend to like backpacks with a bit more "structure", which also permits them to stand vertically on their own quite well, i.e., the Nomatic.Also, I recall you mentioning the third small handle on the back of the Nomatic possibly being used to "hang" the bag. I also think the main purpose of it is for easy opening of the main compartment flap when lying down on its front, but I could be wrong. At least I find that to be the case with mine. Thanks again sir!

The biggest plus and selling point for me to select the PD bag is the packing/camera cubes. Every bag I've had works, but you have to pull out the dividers to use the bag for general (non-photography) travel. Then when you want to use the bag for photo gear again, you have to re-install and setup those dividers all over from scratch. A huge pain. With the PD system, I can simply put in or take out the cubes I want (camera and/or packing) and never have to touch the organization of the dividers inside the camera cubes. I can even put the cubes in other bags (like the PD 35L duffle I also have). Makes for very quick and easy travel reconfiguration. I love the system so much, I just picked up their 65L travel duffle on black Friday sale to use for a checked bag... not that I'd put camera cubes in checked luggage, rather packing cubes.

Peak design all the way! I have one bag from each line. I also love the Shimoda X50. But as I'm more a digital nomad than an adventurer, my peak design goes with me on almost all my trips. Thanks for the video.

I got both of them.. I ended up using the Peak Design one for personnal travel and the PM one for work. Because on the PM one I can put way more stuff as camera equipement than with the PD. I got all size of camera cubes and even the large one can't get enought stuff in it. Also in the PM bag I can put my DJI RS2 in the front pocket where i put some comfy stuffs inside the big internal pocket to protect him and all my other stuff inside the main compartment. Like that I can just go with everything i need with just one bag.

Never thought i would say this, but my favorite travel and backpack for photography is actually not a backpack at all but works fantastic as one. The Peak Design Travel Dufflepack 65. You should really try it. After over a decade traveling and shooting we just clicked and are now best buds :)

Plus storage and organization is easy cause the gear are already in the cubes. For the Nomatic PM bag, you got to take all your stuff out and load it every time you need a certain config.

In my opinion after years of all their great stuff, this was the low point of all their products.. That said, I went with the Travel backpack for all the awesome features so well thought thru! I haven’t ever regretted it and it does literally everything I wanted and more, and more into the $$$-hole of accessories, all awesome...! That modularity for future growth and changes in MY setup is what PD is all about and nobody comes close to their future-thinking design with the user in mind. You are right, the PD is the superior pack, and I’m a tough customer with multiple and often excessive needs for my work.

I own the Peter McKinnon backpack and have now resigned it to a luggage/clothing bag when I travel and use my Lowepro 450 AW as my main everyday camera bag or I use my Neewer 2 in 1 Roller Camera Backpack. I found certain advantages (very few) with the Peter McKinnon backpack... (1) the accessories....The extra accessories like the backpack with the camera compartment in the bottom for day trips is great to some degree, BUT the one issue I found with it along with the main camera backpack.... NEITHER fits my Nikon Z6 or Z7 properly!!! I had a hell of a time fitting my Nikon Z series cameras in them and I got the impression that Peter had them designed with those who use Canon and Sony Mirrorless cameras and negelected us Nikon users. (2) I LOVE the battery and memory card holders!! They are fantastic and have became a part of my everyday carry kit when out shooting along with the lens filter holder. But the one HUGE disadvantage is THEY COST EXTRA!!! With the accessories including the camera cube/backpack, accessory case, etc... it brought my purchase to over $1100.00 Next I really like Peak Design and their bags along with my Lowepro backpack as on the straps I can attach the Peak Design Camera Clip!!! On the Peter McKinnon bag, it was neglected for those of us who own them and the straps are just way too large and bulky to attach the camera clip. I literally had to cut the threads on one of the really thin exterior fabric straps on the outside of the main straps to attach my camera clip and even then it kept sliding up and down. Next disadvantage of the Peter McKinnon backpack was that side entrance kept getting caught on the Velcro from the separators on the inside. I had a hell of a time getting side access to my gear and my camera with it. Next thing I didn't like is Nomatic's return policy....wanted to return the bag after a few days of owning it and they expect the bag etc... to still have ALL the tags etc.... attached and all original packaging.... I had cut them off and disposed of the packaging so I was unable to return it. So I have resigned it to being a bag I use for carrying lighting gear like my Neewer LED/RGB light panels and Neewer studio strobes when doing shoots, plus I use it for JUST clothing when I travel. But I have to agree....Peak Design for the win!! I now regret not looking at their travel backpack and camera cube etc... But overall I love both my Neewer 2 in 1 roller backpack and Lowepro 450 AW. But in the end as far as your review goes....If I could go back and reconsider my purchase....I would pick the Peak Design over the Nomatic/Peter McKinnon bag.

That was a huge dilemma for me which of these two bad boys to buy more than a year ago. Even though I have a lto of accesories from PD I decided to go with PM x Nomatic. Sure it's big and hefty, changing the customization inside takes me about two hours everytime, because all these velcrows are just catching everywhere. And hiking with it it's nightmare for my shoulders. But what sold me over was the little inception transformer cube/backpack, that was just so genius. And it aligns with how I think traveling should be: You get to your base camp and then mostly you don't need all your stuff for some smaller trips, just some, and for that purpose the Cubepack it's so efficient... Then I bought a big telephoto lens which I can technically fit inside but my camera body and second lens has to be in the compartment area and that's not ideal especially if you have your bottle inside as well. Basically now I've got too much stuff for the Cubepack but too little for the actual big bag. And I'm quite sure that I'm not using it properly bcs hiking? Probably better options out there. But as a travel bag or for medium to longer trips I can see myself loving this.

Thanks for sharing Marek. I totally feel you on that “too much, too little” thing. It’s darn near impossible to find a bag that fits for everything. The PM bag plus the smaller bag is a great idea or tossing a wandrd veer packable bag into any bigger bag but then you run into the issue that you have 🤦🏻‍♂️ Maybe some day we’ll have the answer

Absolutely superb videos, kudos to your efforts many times people get hyped by brands & forgets to check basics, you index will help them select proper bag for camera. I wonder is there any 13" or 15" taller version of Peak Design Travel backpack, so i can use it somehow on my motorcycle tank as tank bag for camera.

As far as I’m aware this is the largest bag from PD but I could be wrong

I lied by accident. PD also has duffel bags (and I own one lol) that are bigger. Different vibe, not really a camera bag, but it might work for you!

“I like big bags and I cannot lie you other brothers can’t deny”.....lol I see what you did there. Long video super descriptive and yes surprising. I love your titles by the way. Nice job as always bro!

LOVE my Peak Design Travel Backpack. It's my everyday backpack, my travel backpack, and my everything in between backpack. It transforms and morphs for every scenario. Also, love the company behind it.

Beautiful video

Excellent video it speak truth. You cover all the point that some users have notice and more I definitely belive that Peter bag was going to be the winner but as you mention the small details that Peak Design have are those that help and make you like the bag more and more, esthetically Peter nag is stunning but it also comes to usability on that category. Great job on the review it has all cover and more. Now lets see if they come with a second version of both bags and how they perform, because there was a little teaser from Peter side and we have to wait to see it.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I tried to be as comprehensive as possible!

I’d go with the Peak Design bag too. And you didn’t even mention the anchor points on it. They’re super flexible 😄

Cool comparison! I personally own and use the PD bag for traveling with the medium camera cube and other pouches. But recently I bought the PM accessories (not the big backpack...because I have to many bags as well) and I have to say the McKinnon cube (fold out backpack) fits perfectly in the spot where you put your tech pouch. Fits almost to perfect, kinda scary 😁

Yeah, I love the nomatic accessories too! I haven’t tried the small PM bag in the peak though. I always wondered if it would fit there but never tried it!

I returned it and got the veer, while hking mountain or city I had to constantly take it off to access the camera cube below the packable daypack. I also have the PD travel bag and got the PM cube for that purpose but ended up going veer as I could add another tech pouch and clothes in that same space.

Damn. Both bags look awesome. I currently use a Lowpro Videopack 250. I never imagined a KZread video where the Nomatic lost. I didn't think you'd let a colleague's competitor take the win.

Yeah both bags are awesome! I tried to be as detailed as possible and give good objective reasoning! Both Nomatic and Peak Design know how to make some great bags though!

Loved this review/comparison, I just wish it had been posted a month or so earlier b/c it would probably have confirmed what I suspected and returned the Nomatic bag in favor of the Peak Design backpack. Clearly, you have more experience producing these videos than me, so great job sir. There were a couple of features you didn't talk about like the zipper securing loops and the external tie-downs, but great video, thanks.

Thanks a ton! Yeah I originally had a piece on the exterior attachment points but it got cut for one reason or another but I did miss the security details! Thanks for sharing!

@@dunnadidit Hope you don't mind, I put a link to your video in the details of mine - there's so much out there on the Nomatic bag (don't get me wrong, it's a real nice piece of luggage, but truly the Peak Design competitor offering is a serious challenger and I like the way you pitched them against each other.

Of course not! Thanks a ton for sharing it!

When I started watching this I was so concerned it was going to be a video gushing about Pete, so glad you have the integrity to do a good honest review. I was happy to. be proven wrong.
