…, the (ridiculously named) WANDRD Prvke, the Nomatic backpack, or the Peak Design Everyday Backpack. Those are bags you want to be seen with.

In comparison to other packs with articulating harnesses (Peak Design Everyday Backpack for reference) I found the harness to be slightly constricting for those with broader shoulders. This is nitpicking as it wasn’t a huge annoyance, however it may be useful to note for those with broad shoulders. Also, there’s no waist belt. To address this, Chrome designed a sloping back panel which hugs the lumbar and presses it in place. It w…

…y they step foot in. Teased during livestreams of their travel packs, Peak Design has gone ahead and designed their own tripods. As of this post, the campaign is sitting at $6.9M and with 24 days to go, it’s sure to go through the roof. The story is how compact they were able to get the total package, when collapsed. It fits in the profile of a water bottle! They were able to accomplish this by tossing aside the convention of tubular legs, and ins…
