TechRadar Verdict
There’s much to like about Peak Design’s new Outdoor Backpack series.
The 25L version costs $249.99 / 249.99 and the 45L version is $329.99 / 329.99.
The bag is due to go on sale globally in late November.

A decent alternative to a Peak Design Cube is a gear wrap like3 Legged Thing’s Wrapz.
For daily use over months, the Outdoor BackPack 25L has proven itself durable, comfortable, and versatile.
Closing the zips towards the bottom of the bag on once side instead avoided this issue.

There are no interior pockets in the main compartment, just a laptop sleeve.
There are no dedicated padded dividers, which I understand helps to keep the bag light and customizable.
Speaking as a photographer, I would love quicker access to gear, say through a side-access zipped opening.

A few design tweaks like these could realize the Outdoor Backpack as the perfect versatile camera bag.
Should I buy the Peak Design Outdoor Backpack 25L?
It has been on my shoulders for commuting, running and hiking.
