The Right Choice

I am very satisfied. The lifetime warranty gives me confidence🫶

The Heavyweight Near Champ

It’s the toughest backpack you’ll own, at a huge cost. This backpack by itself will weigh as much at your normal school back with all the items packed in. Listen, I know it’s a travel bag, but it wont always see use as such things. Traveling with this bag is actually a royal pain because of the weight, once you fill it up with a camera, laptop, cords, chargers, clothings, maybe some snacks. Dang does this get heavy. For being 23 I can manage, but it doesn’t have the same load distribution you would get on a real hiking backpack. So it’s a good carry for strong people, the those who maybe dont know their place in the backpacking world, but you’re more likely better off with something lighter, smaller, and more sustainable.

Good Quality With A Few Drawbacks

I've had this for 1.5 years. Overall, I would say I like it. However, I am not a photographer, so it's not ideal for me. It's high-quality and has great organization, but it's a little heavy and it lacks a key tether. I would actually give it three and a half stars if there were half stars available. If I were a photographer, I would give it four to four and a half stars.

Exellent Backpack For Tavel With A Carry-on

Really happy about the bag, quality and feel. It is perfectly adapted to travel with a carry-on as a personal item. According to the use, it can be tight for 'tech' accessories but it can be complemented with a tech pouch in the bag.

One Backpack To Rule Them All

I've had this bag for a few years now and it is my go to for work, travel and photography loadout. Fits everything comfortably and organizes really well. It has replaced nearly every other large backpack I own.

Great Bag But I Prefer It When Not Expansed

Great bag for travel and everyday use (to use it as a secondary bag alongside the cabin suitcase, since it fits easily under the seat). I use it with packing cubes but the camera cubes fit only when expansed... So I did probably a "sacrilege" and did put a camera cube from Wandrd that can fit inside without expanse the bag (25*31*10 cm - Essential plus). Please Peak Design, go create a camera cube that can fit in the 20L travel bag without expanse it :D

Awesome Pack…but The Straps

I love this pack! Looks, function, features all 5 stars…the straps are lacking…the need more padding and load lifters to make this pack perfect!

A Lot Of Space Fit Into A Sleek Design

Great bag. It’s very spacious and still manages to look sleek. Overall the design is thoughtful and the bag is well crafted.

Everything You Expect!

I already have a bunch of PD products and this one is everything who someone like me expects, fit perfectly within the ecosystem, top materials, amazing functionality. Probably one of the last backpacks you'll buy.

A Week’s Worth Of Gear? This Bag Said “No Problem.

In short, this is a solid backpack for week‑plus travel, and I’d rate it 4.5 stars. My only complaint is the shoulder‑strap padding, which is minor and explained below. We took a gamble and bought four of the 40L bags—one for each family member—for vacation. The construction is excellent, and the best part is how well they handled the weather with zero issues. The zippers held up even when the bags were packed completely full. Despite how much we packed into it, the bag stayed structured and didn’t bulge awkwardly. The only downside was the shoulder straps. After a mile or so of walking, the padding started to make its presence known, but we expected that. Most of the time they were perfectly fine. Weight was likely a factor, since each bag held hiking boots, small restroom essentials, and 11 days of clothing. Even with all of that, the bag still fit in the carry‑on storage of most planes. Small commuter aircraft were the only exception due to limited overhead space. It was tough to fit 11 days of gear into the bag, which is why I’d recommend it more for 9 days of travel. I included pictures of how we packed everything. For reference, I’m an average‑build American and wear a size 11 boot. We packed each day’s outfit into a vacuum bag—picked out ahead of time, zipped, and compressed tight.

Nice Gear!

I bought this bag/camera gear for my five week trip to Australia and Japan. Just as expected this is a great product for carry-on. It fits everything that I need for my trip. Hailee recommended.

Great Travel Bag

Bought this bag for travel to Greece and I must say, I absolutely love this bag. High quality and comfortable bag to wear. I highly recommend it.

Great Quality And Design!

I bought it as a gift for my friend and he loved it.

Decent, But Not For Heavy Loads

Nice bag, lots of good features. But when packed all the way out the shoulder straps have such little padding it makes the bag essentially unusable.

Finally Found My Go To Travel Backpack

I’ve gone through a lot of backpacks over the years, and this is the first one that just feels right. I mainly use it for business travel and weekend trips, and the 30L size has been the sweet spot. It’s surprisingly roomy without feeling bulky, and the clamshell opening makes packing so much easier than digging through a traditional backpack. What I appreciate most is that nothing feels like it was added just for marketing. Every pocket and feature has a purpose. The quick access pockets are actually useful, the hidden passport pocket is a nice touch, and the external straps have come in handy more than I expected. The quality is excellent. The materials, zippers, and stitching all feel like they’ll last a long time. It’s expensive, but it doesn’t feel overpriced once you start using it. This backpack has impressed me enough that I’m seriously considering picking up the 45L version for longer trips. If it’s anything like the 30L, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.
