I’m hooked on Peak Design’s new City bags
The Verge • • general
Key Points:
- Peak Design introduces the BagLev hook in its City Line bags, designed to keep bags suspended above dirty surfaces, preventing contact with urban grime from floors and tables.
- The City Crescent crossbody bag ($119.95) and City Backpack ($179.95) both feature the BagLev hook and are made from lightweight, water-resistant Mono Shell 660D fabric, suitable for casual urban use.
- The City Crescent is praised for its versatile design and easy access pockets but lacks padding for laptops or camera gear, while the City Backpack offers better laptop protection with padded compartments and shoulder straps.
- The BagLev hook on the City Crescent rotates freely, enhancing usability, whereas the hook on the City Backpack is fixed, limiting hanging options, though the backpack includes a grab handle for additional support.
- While Peak Design’s bags are well-designed and functional, more affordable and portable bag hooks are available on the market, and the BagLev hook can be transferred to other bags with compatible loops.
