Creek Mandate 28L Backpack
Black Diamond's Creek Mandate 28 Backpack is a carry-on-friendly commute and travel bag that mirrors a high-quality climbing bag. The most obvious similarity is the full zippered back panel for ease of access, allowing you to get to everything you packed without digging around blindly. Additionally, the durable, treated shell sheds moisture . Despite these similarities to outdoor packs, the Creek Mandate still contains all of the features you would expect from an exceptional travel pack. It has exterior laptop access for convenience on the go, haul loops on the top and side for getting through the airport, and an easy access passport pocket.

Commuter and Weekend Bag
Great bag, lots of pockets. Still getting used to all the locations to fill in the spaces. Seems durable for commuting into NYC and also for weekend trips. My last Black Diamond bookbag lasted me over 10 years so I suspect this will last just the same.

Sleek and Functional
I purchased this backpack for work-related travel and was not disappointed. The construction is rugged and it does not collapse when not entirely filled. Lots of pockets, but not bulky when full.

Well-designed backpack
With the backpack opening like a suitcase, it takes a little getting used to. Once you are used to it is designed really well.

Cool Travel bag
The only reason this Bag is not 5 stars is the way the main compartment opens. Its is more like a suitcase style than a standard back pack which isn't a deal braker but will take som getting used to.

Bullet proof, good space, well thought-out design
I have had this bag for a few weeks and I really like it. While I can't speak conclusively to durability, the materials feel very high quality and I believe this bag will last a LONG time. I needed a bag that I could use both as a day pack for some winter gear, gym clothes etc. but also use as my work bag so I didn't have to lug two separate bags. Remarkably, the bag does both pretty well. While the main clothing compartment is not super easy to acess, I found that the zipper configuration does make it easy to find the right items quickly. Love all of the loops and extra features. I've worn it fully packed for a half day of skiing and it stayed comfy the whole time. Would definitely buy this again. May even look for a larger size to use for traveling.

Great Backpack
This is my second one, the right strap on the first frayed over about 2 years, but I love the side layout, pockets and capacity so much I can't go back to a different backpack

Fantastic travel pack!
The attention to detail and durability in this new pack is a standout. Plenty of specific functionality in spaces for your gear and tech. Use it cycling to work but also for all my travel as a go to overnight or few days with essentials. Computer pocket is by far one of the most protected and ease of use that holds 16” MacBook easily. Great job BD designers!

Daily Driver
I purchased this as my daily driver as I head back into the office. The zipper setup was a little bit of an adjustment as they are almost "hidden". The main compartment is more or less inaccessible when being worn. From a security and design standpoint, I think this is cool, but does take some getting used to. I've been very happy with it so far, and I look forward to using it for short trips in the near future!

Perfect everything pack
I have had this bag for about 2 years now and use it for everything from work/travel bag, to a gym bag when needed. It's still good as the first day I got it. It's sleek, spacious, and well designed.
