Peak Design[1] announced its line of bags on Kickstarter in 2016[2]. It’s my favorite thing at CES 2018. The project raised $6.5 million on Kickstarter and now the company has a full product line designed for photographers and bloggers and people who just like nice things. That’s me.
To be clear this is not a new bag. The bag has been out for a bit but I purchased Peak Design’s Everyday Backpack a day before CES started.
Buying a new bag before CES was a bold move. I’m not a bold guy. Tackling CES with a new bag is a potential disaster. In the past I’ve used a North Face everyday carry backpack for CES.
