Addressing Common Outdoor Carry Issues

The Outdoor Line is designed to tackle common challenges in outdoor and photography carry, such as poor fit, bulky harness systems, and limited access to gear. The collection consists of two backpacks, two slings, and a series of packing tools to provide customizable and modular organization. The goal is to improve comfort and accessibility without sacrificing functionality or durability.

Outdoor Backpack Features

At the core of the collection are the Outdoor Backpacks, available in 45L and 25L sizes. These backpacks are built with a low-profile, adjustable harness system featuring shoulder and waist straps designed to distribute weight more evenly. Inspired by running vests, the straps aim to provide a more comfortable carry over longer distances.

The backpacks feature two access points: the Ultra Cinch™ quick-opening top hatch and a large rear access panel. These offer flexibility in packing and retrieving gear. External storage is enhanced by the Cord Hook™ carry system and Flex Pockets™, which accommodate items like water bottles, tripods, and clothing.

Outdoor Sling Features

The Peak Design Outdoor Sling is available in 7L and 2L sizes and is designed for versatility. The slings can be worn either cross-body or around the waist, with a padded, removable strap and quick-adjustment hardware.

The 7L version can hold a Peak Design X-Small Camera Cube, making it suitable for carrying a camera, while both sling sizes can be attached to the Outdoor Backpacks for additional storage.

Compatibility and Durability

The new products are fully compatible with Peak Design’s Camera Cubes and Ultralight Packing Cubes, allowing users to configure their storage for a wide range of outdoor gear or photography equipment. Built to withstand rugged conditions, the bags feature PFAS-free recycled Terra Shell™ fabric, Ultra Zips™, and ultra-durable, slash-resistant UHMWPE cording.
