Photography, Rock Climbing, and Hiking Bag

By Sam
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-26

I have used the 45L outdoor backpack for about 5 months now. I was looking for a niche backpack for the purposes of photography, hiking, and rock climbing. Overall, for such a demanding wide range of activities, it gets the job done, but could use some improvements. First, for the water bladder and straw holders, I would add a hole in the center that the straw can go throw to reach the bladder in addition to the side hole and would have the straw holder loops on both sides instead of just one. For rock climbing specifically, I would make the drawstring longer that you use to open and close the center pouch. My reasoning is that I carry my 70 meter rope on top of the backpack with the coiled ends underneath the drawstring. Trying to get the rope underneath the drawstring is definitely the hardest and most time consuming part of packing my bag. Lastly, I'd love to see MOLLE incorporated into the backpack in addition to Peak Design's current attachment system. I currently use the Peak Design attachment system for the Peak Design helmet carrier and the accessory straps on the bottom of the bag to carry my tripod. However, I have a first aid kit and multipurpose tool that I would attach to my old backpack using the MOLLE system that I have not found a good way to attach to the outdoor bag yet. Overall, it is a good bag for my very specific need that I would love to see improved upon. My typical loadout includes a full medium camera cube, 2L water bladder, all of my outdoor rock climbing gear for sport climbing, a 70 meter rope, a rock climbing helmet, six beers, snacks, spare clothing, miscellaneous small items, and occasionally a tripod. All items fit inside the bag except the rope, helmet, and tripod, which are carried externally on the bag.

The best backpack I have ever owned

This is everything I have ever wanted in a backpack. It’s so functional! I love how large the side pocket for the water bottle is, bottles usually never fit properly. I also love the small pockets on the shoulder straps for a phone or wallet, and all the different attachment options on the backpack (for sleeping bag/smelly shoes/extra bag..).The pouch pocket is super practical for bulky items or things you want to access quickly. And honestly, the design is so beautiful that I’m going to use it not only for backpacking, but also for city trips, it is stylish. Thank you for making my dream backpack come true!
