  • Didn't think it was possible to LOVE a backpack
Color: Black Size: 45
TL; DR - Amazing backpack if you travel a lot. Very durable, packed with features I'm a who loves backpacks, especially ones that fit my exact needs. I travel around pretty frequently and always try to pack as light as possible. Always trying to avoid checking a bag when I travel and only using carry on's. This backpack has always been on my radar, but just couldn't stomach the price. Eventually, the little voice inside my head that's always whispering "treat yo self" finally got the best of me. And I took the plunge. It got here right before my 3 week trip to Europe. As soon as I got it, I was blow away with all the hidden features that it had. Peak Design is very good at not just product design, but also integration with its other products. I paired this with the small camera cube and medium size packing cube. The ideal set up for this bag in my opinion. I can carry most of my camera stuff in the camera cube, and about 4-5 days of clothing in the packing cube. With some room to spare! This set up leaves a small cavity at the top of the bag which I used to put with my toiletry bag or my Bose QC35 headphones along with a travel blanket. It all fits very snug and fits like a puzzle. The hidden straps at the bottom of the bag were way more useful to me that I really thought they would be. I typically travel with a crew neck or hoodie because airplanes are typically cold, but when I'm walking around or its warm at my destination, I'll take it off and use the straps to secure it on the outside of my bag. I've also used the straps to carry a blanket, works beautify and its very secure. The middle diver in the bag can be unzipped and folded away if you just want one big sack to work with, I prefer to leave it in place, has a well padded laptop and separate tablet compartment, and a few hidden pockets in the bottle holders. My only gripe with the backpack would have to be those afore mentioned bottle holders. I feel like they don't hold bottles snuggly enough. But given everything else about this bag, I can can't deal with it. The zippers are very solid, and water resistant, as is the whole bag. Personally tested this out when walking around Paris in the rain. My belongings were perfectly dry inside! Another big feature about the bag is its stow away backpack straps and waist belt. I always remove the waist belt of any backpack I get because I hardly use it. In this backpack, you can't remove them, but they do fold away behind some cleverly designed magnetic flaps! And when they are stowed, you don't feel any weird bumps and won'y even know they're there. You can also stow away the backpack straps under those same flaps and make this thing a full blown duffle bag. Which has come in handy more times than I would've thought. Final thoughts. Given how much I travel, I wish I would've bought this bag sooner. Cant recommend enough! The Value/Convience factor is just as high as the price haha. But well worth it. ... show more

  • Fantastic travel backpack
Color: Sage Size: 30L
I bought this backpack for a trip to Europe recently. I have a more "tactical" style Eberlestock pack that I use for hiking as well as travel and road trips, but I decided I needed something a bit better-suited to the confines of airports, planes, trains, and smaller vehicles. Since I knew I would be spending my time in cities and similar areas, I wanted to blend in a bit more. I've been a fan of Peak Design equipment like their travel tripod and camera clip. I wasn't disappointed here, either. The fit and finish of Peak Design gear is very high. The stitching is precise and each piece is nicely finished. The layout is similarly well-thought out. The main zipper is well-concealed against the user's body, which is nice for theft protection. The straps are comfortable and tuck away easily, which is great for stowing under an airplane seat. The fabric and zippers appear to resist rain well. I didn't have a chance to stand out in the rain long enough for it to become truly soaked. The interior pockets are extensive and well-designed. I know it is rather at odds with the design philosophy, but a hip belt that stows similarly to the straps would be fantastic if you're carrying a decent amount of weight for an extended period. That's a reasonable compromise here because the pack is sleek and unadorned with MOLLE webbing and other features you would find on a more "tactical" backpack. That plain design makes it very well-suited to urban environments where it will be less likely to draw attention. I have one of the tech pouches which fits well with it. Overall, the pack is spacious without being bulky and comfortable for typical travel. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I love the sage color, too. It's a bit unique, but fits my love of nature, too. Peak Design puts a lot of R&D into their products and it pays off. This backpack is no exception. ... show more

  • Versatility and comfort
Color: Black Size: 45
I recently bought this backpack for personal and business travel. It worked great on my first trip going to DC for a long weekend. I was able to pack 5 days of clothes, a pair of shoes, a laptop, a rain poncho, umbrella, a packable backpack, a hat, a shave kit, a mess kit, toiletries, a DLSR camera, a smaller gimbal camera, a journal, a couple of battery packs, assorted cables and chargers. It all fit without having to expand to the full 45 liters. I'm sure I over-packed it versus how Peak Design expects it to be packed. It still easily fit the carry-on size for my carrier. I also love how I don't have to lean it up against anything when I'm sitting waiting for the flight. It stands upright all by itself. Even though the initial packed configuration looked like it deformed the back, everything zipped up nice and easy. On top of that I could open it up from the side and slip in the umbrella, although it could have also gone in the extra large exterior side pocket. Surprisingly, even with all that weight it was super comfortable even without the waist straps. Getting it up and down from the overhead was super easy since the straps all tuck away and it has handles on 5 sides of the pack. I also made use of the loops to hook my headphone case for easy access. I used the Peak Design packing cubes and those were awesome as well. They open all the way up making them easy to pack and then can be compressed. They kept everything separated and had a nice extra pocket for dirty clothes. This was nice because I could leave my pack on the hook at the end of the bed, pull out a cube to get ready for the day, and stuff it back into the pack pretty easily. No need to unpack everything or worry about checking through drawers on checkout day. Since the bag butterflies open I was able to go through the airport scanner without putting my laptop in a separate bucket; It stayed in the padded pouch. Peak Design provides some internal cubes for cameras that are secured to internal hooks using custom carabiner/clips. I didn't need those cubes, but I did want some extra restraint for my gear all the same. I couldn't find similar clips locally, or something like G-hooks, or other straps that could hook on easily. I found some simple metal loops at the store along with some hook and loop elastic straps. A snip with some wire cutters and a little filing for the cut ends and I had an easy way to use the built-in loops and add some straps to further secure the interior contents. Could be overkill, because everything fits great. But I like not having to worry about things spilling out in the shuffle of the security line. I did end up buying some of the Peak Design clips separately after the trip and they're definitely superior to my little hacked clips. Everything is super easy to access on this bag; Front, back, and both sides. I like this configuration much better than other backpacks that have a ton of pockets and zippers and organizers that never get fully used for what they were meant for. This is simple and easy. Big pockets to throw your stuff into. Very simple organization pocket for common things or plenty of room to throw your own favorite organizer into. The only negative I have for this pack is that because it is so well built and well-structured it's going to be an effort to minimize how much I put into it to meet weight limits when traveling internationally. It's about 4 lbs empty which eats up a bunch of weight when limited to 17-20 lbs for a carry-on with many flights. It also just invites throwing everything into it for one bag travel. Really love this pack. ... show more

  • really great bag, a bit too tall for me
Color: Sage Size: 30L
this is a great bag, but a bit too big for carry on which is what I needed it for. the zipper/compartment access is solid. straps are nice. color is really cool and I like how it retains it's form. padding is great for myself and for the equipment. I'm not a huge fan of the hide away flaps for the straps, but it works well enough and the luggage passthrough is durable and fits on my travlepro luggage handles which seem to be too big sometimes for some passthroughs. if it was a couple of inches shorter'ish, I think I would keep it, but it's a bit too tall for me. great quality! ... show more

  • Excellent Quality
Color: Black Size: 45
Recently went on an extended weekend trip and brought this Peak Design Backpack on the plane. It held everything I needed and then some. Expanded to 45L which is great if you need extra room and the airline (Air Canada) allowed. It fit into the overhead compartment. Extremely durable material, along with creative & practical design makes this a great backpack for travel. The quality of the materials are high performance. The pulls are really tough, the zippers don't get snagged and are very high quality. Many compartments to house different items so you can be very organized. Almost everything about this backpack is wonderful. The only thing I can say that they can improve on is the shoulder straps have a sternum strap, which is not easy to connect to the other shoulder strap. Maybe use a better system, with two sternum straps with a metal clip on both ends that clips onto each other. Other than that, a real quality product. I hope to use it more in the near future. I will use it as my exclusive travel backpack. ... show more

  • I love the bag but, the straps need work. I have to find a better option.
Color: Black Size: 45
I’ve been using the Peak Travel Backpack 45L for 15 months, and while I love many aspects of it, I’ve encountered some significant issues with the straps that have unfortunately led me to consider other options. As a basketball referee who travels frequently by train, plane, and automobile, I need a bag that’s not only functional but also comfortable for extended wear. I’ve adopted a minimalist packing style to avoid checking my bag, and the Peak Travel Backpack 45L seemed perfect for this. The large compartment, with its customizable organization and ability to separate areas, has been ideal for carrying my referee uniform (jersey, pants, jacket, socks, and dry-fit undergarments), officiating sneakers, an extra set of clothes, toiletries, an iPad, and a tech bag. However, after a few months of use, I noticed discomfort in my shoulders. The shoulder straps started digging in, and even though I purchased an additional detachable shoulder padding to help, the problem persisted. The bag never felt quite right on my back. I also found that the waist strap was too flimsy and didn’t offer the support needed to transfer the load off my shoulders and onto my hips, where it belongs. This lack of support has been particularly challenging during long walks through airports or extended periods of wear. Given how much I travel and the importance of keeping my gear organized and accessible, it’s disappointing that the comfort level doesn’t match the excellent design. Redesigning the shoulder straps to include more padding, ergonomic shaping, and a more robust waist strap could make this bag much more comfortable for users like myself who carry it for long periods. I genuinely love this bag’s features, but the physical discomfort it causes is something I can’t overlook. I hope Peak Design will consider these changes in future iterations, as they would significantly enhance the usability of an already well-thought-out travel backpack. ... show more

  • Great bag, built extremely well with just enough space, perfect for carryon
Color: Black Size: 30L
Great bag, built extremely well and had just enough space for my uses. It fit my 17-inch laptop despite not being advertised to be able to do so although the fit was somewhat tight, so that was a welcome surprise. Plenty of smaller zipper compartments inside the bag to organize and sort all sorts of things, more than enough for my use cases. Used this alongside the Peak Design travel duffel 50L and they both worked perfectly as plane carry-ons. ... show more
