Chase, another EPIC session. These backpack manufacturers really need to get you in during design (consulting fee) - why do they wait until the product is done and it's too late?! They could do so much better in advance. Bonus points on an Eddie Murphy reference in a bag review - who else could pull that off?? Of all the flaws in the (cheap) knock-off of PD on this bag, the oversize of the flap in back is really odd to me - like when you see a house that the roof is too big and hangs way too far past the side of the house. I just can't unsee it on this bag. Credit to them for trying in a crowded space, shame on them for such a blatant copy attempt.
Dude you do an awesome job on these reviews. Fresh perspective that no other reviewer brings, thanks. Almost bought this damn bag, lol. Keep up the good work!
They’re not the first to be heavily influenced by PD (LowePro Freeline did it too), but this bag improved upon the PD bag IMO. Better more durable materials, more comfortable, more customizable organization system with the shelves. What I did NOT like is how heavy it is, the strap management, and it doesn’t really stand up on its own. And for that reason, I sold it and told my Boundary Errant X-PAC I was sorry for making it feel unwanted for a minute.
Camera cubes are usually for full size DSLR. Space in a backpack is restricted and if you have APS-C or Micro 4/3rd you don't need the 12 cm depth a Tenba TOOL BOX at 8cm might be idea. Salvatore Bug Out Bag (now $99) has an interesting lens swap shelf and pockets for every extra you might think of carrying. Instinct used an integrated camera cube in their first 35l travel backpack but then made a 7 litre x-pac Pro Camera Sling Bag (from £69).
I'm going to keep this positive. Aside from the materials, I really like the shape of the top flap as opposed to PD, though on camera I do like those little natural leather hits. But man, is it me or should people quit using shiny inflatable water-craft material, and thrown down on some x-pac with dark multicam? And yes, I am passively-aggressively talking to Wandrd (as well). With regard to those vinyl looking zippers, YKK makes a mat black water resistant zipper that MW uses on all of their bags (at least all that I own), and it not only looks awesome, it performs like a proper zipper.
Oh.. it was not Peter’s bag.. By the way this bag reminds me prakdesign and bellroy apex. But the new ideas such as bag panel makes me think there is chance that they will be making good original bags on the future.
when does a bag cross over from ripoff to "inspired by"? Does this bag do enough stuff differently than the Peak Design Everyday Backpack to not be considered a ripoff?
I actually thought this was the PRVKE video when I saw the thumbnail for a quick sec because of the shiny Eddie Murphy look, but yeah this is a big PD rip. It was almost flattering when Amazon ripped their sling design, but for another indie to jump on that look seems a little lazy.
It’s a bummer to see an indie company rip off another indie company so blatantly. Especially when it seems like they do actually have some cool ideas of their own in the materials.
Yo, for the giveaway- is there a way to not have it through a social media’s platform? I’m sure I watched the previous ones on Instagram (maybe?) but I don’t have that any more.
Holy crap I thought at first Peak Design had a new bag. It's like Nomatic and Peak Design had an extra martial affair baby. (unsure about that description, but that is what popped into my head..lol)
Your outtro sold me on the thumbs up and subs my good sir! Can't decide on a camera bag, I think I'm broken. Please send help ahhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Kinda like if a bag from some SF camera bag company and a bag from an Australian bag company had a love child named Pyg. That they'd probably prefer to forget.
I take pictures for a living. I have never once wished for or used the "quick access" side opening on camera backpacks. I think the focus on that is silly. Everyone I know uses their camera bags to transport their gear and then takes out their camera once.
Just don’t like this bag, looks like they copied you know who and came up with their own crap ideas to try and be different. The result to me looks like an awful bag
I bought this backpack only to find out after one time in the rain the water bottle/tripod holder portion of the bottle is not waterproof so water accumulated during my whole ride and soaked into the bag and damaged some of my electrical stuff. This is not a good bag and I would not recommend it for anyone
Its funny seeing Chase using the tripod that peak design designed for a product that copied peak design .
Such a good tripod

Praise the Hobo Father. For he is the light and carries a sweet bag.
Dude you do an awesome job on these reviews. Fresh perspective that no other reviewer brings, thanks. Almost bought this damn bag, lol. Keep up the good work!
Agree with you on two points - best bag reviewer/review in the history of reviews and 2) water resistant zips blow ass
'on the comments below' awesome!!! Love your videos
Peak design?
Yeah lol pretty much
Right, they pretty much stole the hole design.

@@bryanbuff I'm almost positive the materials on the PD bad are better. Especially that hardware. Man I love that hardware.
I could have sworn that was Peak Design based on the thumbnail. So I had to watch.
Chaaaaase, a 20 minute video! You must've hated the bag. Lol
...I mean I don't really care for the peak design rip. But on to the next review!! 😆
Seems like basically a straight up rip off of the PD Everyday Backpack.

PGYTECH only!! ❤❤❤❤❤

The natural leather bits are the bits where they ripped off the Bellroy Apex.. Kinda like the soft mesh bits and the front flap bit ;)
@@jtinseoul7041You are absolutely correct. I was thinking the same thing in retrospect.
Thumbs up for the "shiny inflatable water-craft material" thing. Ugh.
Great content as always, Chase! Can you also do a review for Cote & Ciel Isar backpack?
Oh.. it was not Peter’s bag..
By the way this bag reminds me prakdesign and bellroy apex. But the new ideas such as bag panel makes me think there is chance that they will be making good original bags on the future.
Glad someone mentioned the Apex. It's like half a knock off of the Apex and half a knock off of the Everyday PD.
Well I suppose it does show how good peak designs products are as everyone seems to be making copies of their work these days.
Right?
Well they do make exceptionally good gear... least I hope they do given the large number of their products i own🤣
when does a bag cross over from ripoff to "inspired by"? Does this bag do enough stuff differently than the Peak Design Everyday Backpack to not be considered a ripoff?
Almost pulled the trigger thanks to your review! Difficult choice to make. Totally regret PM Nomatic 35L. Wished we found you earlier =(
So when is Peak Design going to do a video on this bag like they did with the Amazon Basics sling?
They probably won't since PGYtech is a small company and amazon is a ridiculous monopoly
But this isnt a exact copy thought unlike the amazon basic sling and the features are clearly different
I actually thought this was the PRVKE video when I saw the thumbnail for a quick sec because of the shiny Eddie Murphy look, but yeah this is a big PD rip. It was almost flattering when Amazon ripped their sling design, but for another indie to jump on that look seems a little lazy.
I would consider this bag to the peak design everyday bag, but its almost the same price.
It’s a bummer to see an indie company rip off another indie company so blatantly. Especially when it seems like they do actually have some cool ideas of their own in the materials.
Proud to be born with pinpoint "nipple aim", but for $200ish one I'd get the PD Everyday pack V1 still.
A cross between Peak Design everyday carry 20L and Bellroy APEX....
HEY! what is the green backpack hanging behind you!! looks really good
looks like pakt travel backpack
Pakt travel bag!
@@chasereeves nice, thank you for the response!! Looks a lot smaller than it is on website.
I'm very curious if the country of origin of PGYTECH is china or the US
Missing the singing part dude!
Wow they really copied the Peak Design Everyday Backpack
Yo, for the giveaway- is there a way to not have it through a social media’s platform? I’m sure I watched the previous ones on Instagram (maybe?) but I don’t have that any more.
I'll be live here on youtube.
@@chasereeves ah sweet, thank you
Any chance we'll get more podcasts?
Yes. And thank you for reminding me. Wanna come work for me?
@@chasereeves Let's do it!
I don’t like imitations
Holy crap I thought at first Peak Design had a new bag. It's like Nomatic and Peak Design had an extra martial affair baby. (unsure about that description, but that is what popped into my head..lol)
Your outtro sold me on the thumbs up and subs my good sir! Can't decide on a camera bag, I think I'm broken. Please send help ahhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
waterproof zips are great, I hate the stupid bag you need to put on a bag to make it waterproof
Bro why are you reviewing a peak design rip off
Paid promotion!
What’s this green bag on the wall?
It’s the bag chase designed. The pakt x chase reeves travel backpack
How can you speak that blasphemy about the aqua guard zips? Aesthetic AF
Hi Hobo Father
Kinda like if a bag from some SF camera bag company and a bag from an Australian bag company had a love child named Pyg. That they'd probably prefer to forget.
and then you ordered it off Wish
I take pictures for a living. I have never once wished for or used the "quick access" side opening on camera backpacks. I think the focus on that is silly. Everyone I know uses their camera bags to transport their gear and then takes out their camera once.
Its weird...I just coughed...and it sounded like Peak Design. Better go see a doctor.
I wouldn't recommend this sorry, it's too heavy when it's empty and gets extremely uncomfortable after wearing it for some time
Just don’t like this bag, looks like they copied you know who and came up with their own crap ideas to try and be different. The result to me looks like an awful bag
This is a shameless knock off. More like Peak Design fan fiction.
It's a crappy PD ripoff
This company copied something, making it worse. Hmmmm 🤔 interesting take....
I bought this backpack only to find out after one time in the rain the water bottle/tripod holder portion of the bottle is not waterproof so water accumulated during my whole ride and soaked into the bag and damaged some of my electrical stuff. This is not a good bag and I would not recommend it for anyone
