Very very good review. Thank you. Really talking what is it for, the fact that it's really good but not so much for regular stuff. So it's not an everyday backpack, but it's good. Gonna look up more at the nomatic
I’ve been using the Peak bag for maybe a month now and at first, I regretted it ...until *dramatic music* , I figured out how to setup the bag to my needs (actually use one of the shelves vertically to accommodate my largest lens) ...I LOVE the Peak bag now (20L), it’s able to hold my Nikon D7200 with a battery grip and 4 lenses all at the same time ... I actually only use 2 of the 3 dividers ....sidenote, that Nomatic Bag looks super nice
I got it to a point where I could fit/organize my stuff as best I could. But the more I tried adjusting things the more obvious it was that this bag wants to hold camera stuffs. I’m still holding my breath that Peak Design will create a new series of commuter packs that have nothing to do with camera gear. Wishful thinking...
I love the organization of the nomatic bag but I also has a camera and a lens for photo stuffs. So I wondering whether can I put the camera and the lens in the nomatic bag with protection. Thank you.
I’ve seen some videos on it. Looks okay, but it wasn’t enough for me to merit a purchase. My dream is for Peak Design to create a line of commuter packs that have nothing to do with camera carry. But seeing as camera stuffs is their DNA I’m not holding my breath.
It'll be unfair to both bags to compare them with one another, they're very different. I'd say right now, for the stuff I'm carrying I prefer the Nomatic. The Nomatic is smaller but has way more organization, but isn't as rugged. I'll go into more detail about it in the follow up.
Thanks for the video! It was really informative. Can you please update us after you start riding your bike with the Nomatic. I'm looking to get the Nomatic Backpack or Travel Pack but I'm concerned about the back padding for comfort, heat, and sweat.
Hey! Glad you found it helpful. Since the Peak is so rigid it actually doesn't follow the curves of your back, which is both good and bad. Bad because it's not as comfortable, but it allows more air to make contact with your back, doesn't have the air-sealed feel. Two rides into the year with the Nomatic, it's far more comfortable because it's more flexible and contorts to your back. Downside is that it's gonna get musky in there, I'm wearing layers right now but I can already tell. Summer time will tell all.
I haven’t used it since the review. I think the design is the strongest part of the bag. Material choice, and a few build defects keep it from being great.
Great review. Very informative. I have a question though... Is the laptop compartment raised from the bottom of the bag? I'm a little concerned because my old backpack (Incase Icon Pack) dented my computer from placing it down too hard. An elevated laptop compartment is a make or break for me.
Hey, thanks! I can confirm the laptop compartment is suspended, and includes extra padding on the bottom where it may make contact if you drop the bag hard enough. It’s also the reason why the bag leans forward so much, the stiff back goes down further than the base of the bag so it tilts way forward. I emailed Nomatic about it, they said it was a bad batch or something. But couldn’t tell me when the fixed batch was due.
Hi! If i'm not asking for too much, but can you do a review while wearing the bag (with everyday stuff, fully packed and maybe overpacked) and show how you access the bag's compartments (for example: swipe the bag over your shoulder and access your keys or connect your phone to the powerbank) Thanks for your review. It was very interesting to hear a true opinion about this bag! On you channel i saw that you own the Prima system as well. I'm interestet in the Errant Backpack from Boundary. Do you have some impressions from the Errant Backpack?
Sorry, I’m not doing another video with the Nomatic. Don’t the have Errant yet, it’s constantly getting delayed. I’ll do a video as soon as I get it. If time permits.
@@HumorousMaximus oh, I see ^^ yeah I heard that a lot of people are waiting for their package. I ordered the Nomatic now and check it out myself. Thanks for your efforts. When things for Boundary calm down I will order that too ;)
I can't say for sure. This is the water bottle I use and it fits pretty snug, feels like it can stretch a bit more though. Futurepace Tech Large, Metal Insulated Sports Water Bottle 25oz. Look it up on Amazon.
This is truly a great review! Thank you. I'm thinking to buy Normatic backpack, but I wonder how possibly my 13-inch laptop and 11-inch iPad Pro can be stored into this back. Any advice?
I have both these bags as well, the Peak Design is built significantly better, with much smoother zippers, better fit and finish, and it actually stands up on its own. They’ve also recently made changes to the bag which degrades organization. The Nomatic bag is not worth the money.
HumorousMaximus Firstly, they no longer include the 3 organizational sleeves, the combined the tech sleeve and paper into one, you only get one slot for all your papers now, instead of 2 or 3, plus you have the added bulk of the tech pockets whether you want it or not, and they also no longer include the shoe/clothes organizer sleeve, and yes it’s still the same price. They cut costs but didn’t reduce the bag. Then in the front section, they changed the 2 large open mesh pockets which had 2 smaller ones stitched in front, to 4 spread out small pockets, so whereas before you could place tall items up to 6” in the 2 large pouches and smaller items in front of them, you have 4 pouches that can hold max 3” height items. If you try to put something taller, it either hits the pouch above, or interferes with closing the zipper. They ruined a clever design in my opinion. The original design was well thought out, now they went and broke it for whatever reason. I’ve tried to return it, they want me to pay for shipping back (like this is my fault), I said I want them to pay the shipping since it was false advertising, now they went dark. Great company. You can’t even call anyone, you’re at the mercy of email only.
Hated the peak design. The design of the straps which pivot, sacrifice any yoke stability, so you’ll notice the bag always wants to ride low and pull AWAY from you, even when the shoulder straps are pulled tightly. This exacerbates the problem of the thin straps because it spotlights them by putting so much weight on them and they cut into your shoulders. Poor design. A backpack that fails at being a backpack

Thank you, this is TRUE USER review, out of real user experiences, not just reviewing the bag out of it's stated features and descriptions
Your reviews are literally amazing. Comprehensive in the right ways and honest. You should review a lot of other stuff.

Blake Buthod you can get the travel pack which has exactly the same dimensions but hoes up to 30L!
Agree with your review. Have both bags and you hit the point 100%
both looks clean in my opinion. can't go wrong with either one.
Very very good review. Thank you.
Really talking what is it for, the fact that it's really good but not so much for regular stuff. So it's not an everyday backpack, but it's good.
Gonna look up more at the nomatic
Thanks, was looking for a comprehensive review. Nothing really showed up since this backpack is so new.

@@HumorousMaximus I'm hoping for that as well because it'll be great for when I just want to get up and go! Maybe one day 🤞🏼

I’d say no. Not really made for camera carry.
@@HumorousMaximus thank you for your replying!
You plan to test the dayfarer? Very similar layout to nomatic but with less influence from peak design I suppose.
I’ve seen some videos on it. Looks okay, but it wasn’t enough for me to merit a purchase.
My dream is for Peak Design to create a line of commuter packs that have nothing to do with camera carry. But seeing as camera stuffs is their DNA I’m not holding my breath.
Super helpful review!
Can you please do a follow up on the nomatic? You have made the only video that exists to compare the two. THANK YOU.
I plan to, probably towards the end of the month. Get a few more sweaty rides in. I feel like a have a pretty good idea of how the bag will hold up.
Great walk through of the bags!
Nice review! do you prefer the nomatic over the peloton? thanks again for the info.
It'll be unfair to both bags to compare them with one another, they're very different. I'd say right now, for the stuff I'm carrying I prefer the Nomatic. The Nomatic is smaller but has way more organization, but isn't as rugged. I'll go into more detail about it in the follow up.
Is it made for camera gear though?
Peak Design yes, they are a camera company through and through. Nomatic no.
Thanks for the video! It was really informative. Can you please update us after you start riding your bike with the Nomatic. I'm looking to get the Nomatic Backpack or Travel Pack but I'm concerned about the back padding for comfort, heat, and sweat.

Do you still have your nomatic backpack? Is it still in good condition? Do you still like it?
I haven’t used it since the review. I think the design is the strongest part of the bag. Material choice, and a few build defects keep it from being great.

I made a separate video on just the Nomatic, I think you'll find some answers there.
you should be a reviewer

@@MobileConcepts1 which bag are you talking about? The pd everyday bag still has the 3 dividers. I just bought it yesterday.
@@SunfireGTX25 of course he's taking about the Nomatic backpack. PD don't have mesh pockets or organiser sleeves.
