  • Sternum strap comes off a little easily for our liking.
  • Side handles provide a funky, imbalanced carry.

Oh boy. This is a big one, folks.

We have been waiting a long time for this review… The Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L is finally here. If you’ve been following us or you’re into backpacks, photography, or travel—you’ve probably heard of Peak Design. These guys have been absolutely killing it, making some of the most unique and innovative designs the backpack and photography world have ever seen.

Their Everyday Backpack has been a huge hit amongst photographers and it has some of the coolest features we’ve ever seen on a backpack. The only problem is that it is very much built for photography—and although we like photography (and have a handful of professional photographers on our team), we’re always more interested in travel bags. We’ve been hearing whispers about the Peak Design Travel Backpack for some time now, and needless to say, we were pretty excited to get our hands on one.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Top Handle

We’ve been testing this thing out for three weeks and it’s seen use across multiple US states and a few flights. Much like their other gear, our first impression is that this bag has a lot of smart, innovative thinking, and it most definitely lives up to the hype.

Is it without problems? Of course not. Check out the full review below for all the details. Or, if you’re looking for something a little smaller, check out our review of the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L .

Materials & Aesthetic

Peak Design Travel Backpack in Minneapolis, Minnesota

At the time of this review, the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L comes in two different colors—black on black, and sage—and we opted for the black on black (obviously). We should also mention that although pictures of the sage color look very similar to the ash color on the Everyday Backpack, it is slightly greener than you might think.

That being said, Peak Design tends to release their bags in a lot of different colors, so we’re curious to see if they try anything later in 2018 or early 2019. Depending on when you’re reading this review, there might be a few new color options.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Fabric

Each color uses the same material, which is a 400D nylon canvas for the majority of the bag, and a 900D nylon canvas at the bottom to protect against additional abrasions. The stuff on the bottom definitely has a slightly rubbery feel to it. You might be curious as to why they’ve got canvas on this pack when most other, similar packs are rocking ballistic nylon… This was clearly an intentional choice made by Peak Design. It’s quite weather-resistant, and it feels nice to the touch.

As far as the overall aesthetics of the bag, this thing is really sleek and minimal even though it has a ton of crazy features going on in it. We’ve also noticed that it does a great job of keeping its form even while empty, due to the high density foam padding around most of the pack. This may be a pro or con, depending on your use case and style taste.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Instagram Poll

As we normally do, we polled our Instagram audience to determine how many of you folks like the look of this bag. Results were fairly conclusive, with 69% saying they liked the look of the pack and 31% saying they did not like the look. So, take from that what you will.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Hardware

Wrapping up the materials, there is a DWR coated polyurethane liner —which will add some more weatherproofing— aluminum hardware , and a bunch of YKK and Zoom zippers . To be honest, we’re bit confused with the choice of Zoom zippers, but we’ll cover that later in the review.

External Features

Even though it might not look like it, there are a ton of external features on this pack. We’ll start with the harness system, which is one of our favorite—and most innovative—pieces on this pack.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Rotating Shoulder Strap System

The shoulder straps contain Peak Design’s signature rotating straps, which they’ve done with other packs, including their Everyday Backpack. These are really great for swinging the pack around your body and using it in “side access mode” while you’re wearing it. They’re basically just a normal pair of shoulder straps, but they’re connected by a single metal rivet at the top, which allows the top of the strap to move around to any angle you’d like.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Harness System

The straps themselves offer some high-density foam, which is definitely very comfortable—more comfortable, in fact, than the Everyday Backpack. We liked seeing that they’ve improved that a bit. These straps also feature aluminum glide hardware on the adjuster straps, as well as a plastic keeper to handle any excess material. (Got to have that #danglefreeexperience!)

We should note that this plastic keeper can be a little bit hard to get back on if it falls off… You’ll probably have to take the bag off and fiddle with it a little bit. If you want see one of our favorite strap hiding systems, go check out the Evergoods MPL30 . That thing offers really incredible ways to hide and manage excess straps.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Sternum Strap

There is also a detachable sternum strap, which can be stored permanently in the vertical position along the strap, or temporarily as a little loop that hangs off. (This is all when you’re not using it, of course.) One minor detail is that it’s a little bit easier to detach than we’d like—one side grips a little bit harder than the other and it comes off pretty easily, which always makes us a little nervous. Peak Design does offer replacements on their site if you were to lose it, but we’d recommend just keeping an eye on it and making sure it doesn’t fall off.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Hip Belt

There is a hideable hip belt at the bottom, which has that signature rotating system we’ve come to thoroughly enjoy. On the wearer’s left-hand side, there is a 3D, stretchy, mesh-like pocket that works well for flatter items. There’s a bit of give in this thing, so even stiffer items should work (which has traditionally been a problem we’ve seen on many of these pockets). On the wearer’s right-hand side are some additional attachment points for things like the field pouch and other accessories that Peak Design sells.

Okay, so we have to say… this hip belt is next to perfect. There’s the right amount of padding, it’s the right size, and it’s easily stowable when you don’t want to use it. Our one nitpick is the aluminum hardware, which takes a bit getting used to. It’s a bit different from the plastic buckles we all know and love, but once you do get used to it, it’s really a pleasure to use and helps to provide a nice carry. Plus, it’s never going to break—because, you know, metal and stuff.

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L Hideable Harness System

And now onto the main event. Everything on this harness system is hideable—fast. If there was a competition for “how fast can you hide your backpack straps,” you would want this bag. For sure.

First, you rotate the hip belt upwards and slide it in. Then, you rotate the shoulder straps and hide them away just like you did with the hip belt. …And that’s it. No detaching straps, no zippers, no nonsense. This is, without a doubt, the best strap hideaway system we have found to date. For real.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Middle Strap

Once you hide everything away, there’s a handle in the middle that can be used to carry the bag in duffel mode. It also works as a pass through system for roller luggage. Also, while you’re using the shoulder straps you can fold in the material used to hide the straps, which gives the center of the back panel some extra padding and a little more airflow. Awesome, innovative thinking here—we love it.

One small note here, when you’re putting the hip belt away you’ll want to make sure it’s as flat as possible, or else you’ll feel it in your back as you’re carrying the bag around.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Luggage Tag Placement

And lastly, there’s a luggage tag indicated by a small icon on the back panel. You can put your contact information in there, so someone can get in touch with you if you were to ever lose this pack (yikes—don’t want to think about that). We do have a few things to mention about this little area of the pack…

  • While our version is pretty loosey-goosey, the final production run will have velcro here. So no need to worry about your tag slipping out.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Side Pocket

Moving on to the side of the bag, there’s a water bottle pocket that is big enough to fit a huge Nalgene bottle as well as a slightly-less-huge S’well bottle. Outside of a gallon jug, we’re pretty confident this thing will handle any water bottle you might want to throw at it (or in it, heh).

Peak Design Travel Backpack Hidden Side Pocket

There is also a very stealthy zippered pocket within the water bottle sleeve, which is great for hiding items of any type. You might assume this pocket is unusable while you’ve got a water bottle in the main sleeve, but there’s a good amount of gussetting that provides quite a bit of expandability. You can easily fit some larger items (like a plus-sized iPhone) in here, or some quick-grab items—although we’d recommend avoiding large stuff if you’ve also a water bottle in the sleeve. This pocket is really secure, seeing as the zipper is virtually hidden, plus we’ve really never seen a pocket like this—which means that any potential thief probably hasn’t either.

This is just one of those areas where you can tell that Peak Design has put a lot of thought and effort into making every square inch of this bag useful, which is incredibly important for one bag travel. Kudos!

Peak Design Travel Backpack Grab Handle

There are a total of four grab handles on this pack, which we love. The top handle is nicely padded and allows you to hang the bag flush against a wall, which is always nice. The two on the side are good for quick grabs, although because they’re not centered, using these for any length of time can be a bit funky. They are, however, perfect for grabbing the bag out of overhead bins. And lastly, there’s one on the bottom that really makes the bag grabbable from all sides—which we love.

On the front side there’s a sneaky, hidden pocket that closes magnetically at the bottom and has the ability to hold some lash straps. The magnetic pocket is great for holding a rain fly—if you get caught in a torrential downpour, it’s nice to have that as an option for some additional weatherproofing. It could also handle some flatter items.

(Sidenote: Our bag didn’t come with lash straps! We think they either forgot about them or maybe they fell out at some point during our three weeks of testing. Hopefully that’s not the case, but either way—we don’t have them at the moment.)

The lash straps use a very similar system to what we’ve seen on the Everyday Backpack, and much like that bag, there are a ton of different configurations you could dream up—there are attachment points all over the outside of this bag, even on the interior of the water bottle pocket! We expect they’ll work pretty well.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Button Compression System

Lastly, there are two compression features on this pack. There are two compression zippers on the exterior that add a few more liters of space to the bag. And there’s also a very handy button system that allows you to compress the bag towards the top. This is a pretty nifty system that we haven’t seen anywhere else, but we should note that the placement of these buttons is not final—Peak Design is still working on it, and they’ve said that the placement on launch might be a bit different. That said, the bag still feels pretty big even with the compression, so we recommend bringing along a packable daypack if that’ll bother you.

Inside the Pack

Peak Design Travel Backpack Quick Grab Pocket

Moving on the inside of the pack, there is a quick-grab pocket at the top of the bag with some stretchy mesh on the inside. This is a nice pocket for all of your airport essentials, and they’ve done a nice job making this pocket really blend into the rest of the bag. Very slick.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Rubbery Mesh Interior Pocket

Moving onto the interior of the front panel, there’s some really smart organization going on here. The top area has an interesting, rubbery-feeling mesh, which gets the job done and allows you to see whatever items you have in there. We like that the zipper on this pocket is a bit curved, so it allows you to have good access. Opening it up, there are a couple small sleeves for pens or pencils, and a few larger ones that we’ve been using for chargers and outlet converters. If you don’t want to use these pockets, that’s fine—they lay flat, so it won’t make a difference in the overall space of the bag.

We should note that the pen pockets are a little loose—your pen might go rogue if you’re really throwing this bag around. Towards the bottom, there’s a similar pocket with no organization that is great for flatter items here.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Stashing Divider

On the other side of this compartment there’s a pretty similar scenario. You’ve got a half-mesh pocket up top, and a liner pocket at the bottom. But what we really love about this compartment is that the pockets are accessible from each side of the bag. You have access from the main liter compartment and from the front side as well. Plus, the separator unzips and you can stuff it into itself in the bottom of the main compartment—which allows you to essentially “remove” the separator and use the bag as a giant duffel. Brilliant. This is one of the innovations that make this bag really unique.

So you can access that main compartment through that front panel (and the separator, if you’re using that) or you can also access it from the back of the bag, where the main compartment opens up. This is one area of the pack where Peak Design chose to use the Zoom zippers we mentioned in the beginning…

We actually utilize Zoom Zippers for all of our bags and packs! — Peak Design (@peakdesignltd) August 21, 2018

We’re really curious as to why Peak Design didn’t include YKK zippers across the entirety of this pack. There are some on the internal pockets, however, most of the zippers on the main compartment are Zoom. YKK zippers are on just about every heavy-hitting travel pack that’s in the premium category, so it’s pretty odd that they’ve decided to venture away from them. Everyone uses YKK, and we’ve never had a problem with them.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Lockable Zip Tab

We have, unfortunately, had some problems with Zoom zippers though. One of our contacts has been using the Peak Design Everyday Messenger and they’ve gone through two bags because the main zipper has broken on each of them. Another contact had the zipper break on her Everyday Backpack. In all three of these cases, Peak Design has handled the return and exchange of the broken zippers gracefully. They’ve replaced it with little to no questions asked and provided great customer service.

However, that customer service and warranty isn’t going to do you much good if your zipper breaks in a remote village in Thailand. We’d rather have the zippers just not break in the first place—and we really hope the zipper doesn’t break on the main compartment of the Travel Backpack, as it would render the bag pretty much useless. It is a beefy #10 zipper, but it’s not YKK—and that gives us some cause for concern. Mostly all of the heavy hitting travel backpack brands opt for YKK.

Update: we spoke with Peak Design about their Zoom Zipper decision and here’s what they had to say:

“Regarding our use of Zoom zips on the main access points, we’ve chosen Zoom because of a number of factors: strength, feel, testing performance, performance over time, and value. We’ve used Zoom zips across all of our bags, all of which are guaranteed for life, and we’ve seen a sub-0.3% failure rate on them. Another big part of our decision to use Zoom is that we’ve been able to develop a close direct relationship with them, something we’re not able to do with a supplier of YKK’s size. Zoom has been super responsive to our requests for tweaks and customizations. We pride ourselves in honing every last detail of our products to perform their specific functions optimally, and working with Zoom has allowed us to do that.”

Okay, that was a ton on zippers. We got carried away. Let’s get back to that main compartment.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Main Compartment + Divider

Basically, this main compartment is a giant bucket that works well with Peak Design’s dedicated travel accessories and packing cubes . You don’t need to use their system, but it does help as they size them specifically for this pack.

On the sides there are some elastic loops that are actually used to fully integrate their camera cube system. That offers a little bit more padding and locks all of your lenses and camera gear right in place—if that’s your thing.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Laptop Compartment

The laptop compartment is in the traditional “laptop compartment area,” and you can access it by unzipping the main compartment by just a few inches. There’s ample space for pretty much any laptop you could have, and it all closes up nicely with some Velcro. There is also a separate tablet partition on the inside, which we’ve been using for our Kindle.

One small issue with the tablet partition is that the Velcro target is a little bit small, so it’s kind of hard to accurately velcro it down unless you’re looking at it. In contrast, the laptop partition has some more Velcro and is super easy to close without even looking at it.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Side Access

That main compartment is also accessible from the zippers on the side—so if you have things strategically positioned in here, you can swing the bag around your body, unzip it from the side, and grab what you need. This is especially handy for the camera cube insert, allowing you to quickly swap out a lens or do other #photographythings.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Lockable Zips

One last feature to note is that all the zippers on this bag are lockable with O-rings and they also come with some additional security features:

  • The big, main compartment zippers secure to each other via a loop-and-button system.

Peak Design Travel Backpack Lockable + Hideable Zips

None of these are completely foolproof, but they’re a deterrent. If a thief is quickly rifling through everything, they’ll likely just pass by your bag if they’re unable to access it quickly.

Durability & Testing

At the time of this review, we have been testing this bag for three weeks in Detroit, Minneapolis and Northern Minnesota, as well as two flights. Overall, it has been a joy to use—and after inspection, not much has gone wrong with the pack besides a slight scratch in the black aluminum hardware on the sternum strap. No visible marks on the exterior after three weeks and no problems with the zippers yet.

And… that’s about it! We really don’t have much in the way of gripes about this bag—outside of those Zoom zippers—and we’re loving all the thought and effort Peak Design has put into this thing.

Usage Timeline

Condition: Excellent

Great! Really digging all these cool features, still getting used to some things like the hip belt clip.

Still going strong—using this thing is a pleasure, and no durability complaints outside of a few scratches on the aluminum hardware.

Still digging the intuitiveness of this bag. Easy to use, great integration with Peak Design Packing Accessories, and a solid experience overall.

Condition: Good

This pack has now seen a trip to Paris and Alabama from Detroit. Still holding up well besides a couple of slight marks on the exterior fabric!

  • No new scratches or broken parts to report!
  • We had no issue fitting it under an international airplane seat
  • Back panel is still breathable and doesn’t cause back sweat in hot temps
  • Handled being on a boat just fine—no issues with water splashes
  • Less inclined to use this bag as a daypack over time, since clamshell main compartment access is pretty slow and clunky in tight spaces

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45 L: HONEST Review

This is a full review of the Peak Design travel backpack 45 L.

There is no doubt that the Peak Design travel backpack is an innovative pack but is it the right pack for you?

You may be wondering what sets the Peak Design travel backpack apart from the rest of the pack? (No pun intended.) Or perhaps you want an honest run down of this bag’s best features and potential improvements.

Well, that’s what this full  Peak Design travel backpack review  will attempt to answer.

If you’re into backpacks, photography, and travel, then you’ve probably heard of Peak Design’s flagship backpack, known as the Everyday Backpack.

At 20L-30L, the everyday backpack was intended for day-to-day use: errands, photography, and commute included. (Hmm, I wonder why they called it the everyday backpack?)

Peak Design’s backpacks  are best known for their innovative design, and customizable modules and organizational shelves. The everyday backpack is still one of the most unique bags I’ve come across!

It’s safe to say that when I heard Peak Design was releasing a  larger  travel backpack, I was stoked! Out-of-the-box, I knew this travel backpack was special just by its sleek and seamless appearance, and durability to match.

Ready to dive into our Peak Design Travel Backpack review, let’s goooo!

peak design travel backpack

Upon first use, I was impressed by its many access points and organizational pockets. And after using this pack several times I can ensure that it checks off all of the important ticks: size, organization, durability, and that X factor. You know, what makes this pack unique  from all of the rest.

What’s Peak design’s X factor? You’ll have to keep reading to find out.

In this full and honest review, I’ll dish out all the details from my travel experiences with the Peak Design Travel Backpack and help you figure out if it is worth your purchase.

The travel backpack is just one of a number of awesome pieces of gear from Peak Design that we just love and hopefully you will to!

Quick Answers – Is the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45 L for You?

Comprehensive peak design travel backpack review, peak design 45 liter travel backpack – best features.

wearing peak design 45 L travel backpack review

The Peak Design 45 liter Travel Backpack is for you if you…

  • need a well-designed and innovative travel backpack.
  • mostly travel to cities.
  • pack light and do not need to pack for cold weather.
  • need a travel backpack for weekend-long and weeklong trips.
  • are a Digital Nomad.
  • value customizable organization.
  • want a travel backpack that doubles as a photography backpack.

Overall the Peak Design 45l Travel Backpack is great for anyone who likes its design, efficiency, and organization. It’s easily one of the best minimalist bags on the market. Is the Peak Design travel backpack perfect? Of course not. But it’s a damn good backpack for most travelers.

I think this bag is big enough for a multi-week trip IF you are not carrying very much photography/electronic gear. A lot of full-time travelers can make a 45 l backpack work for extended trips, while others will need more space.

Now let’s take a look at who the Peak Design 45l backpack is NOT for…

Quick Answers – The Peak Design Travel Backpack is NOT for you if you…

  • need a hiking backpack .
  • primarily want a day pack. (The Peak Design 45l bag is a bit too big for your average day pack.)
  • travel heavy. This is a 45L bag at maximum.
  • prefer the classic backpack look. This is an ultra-modern design.

Peak Design Travel Pack

If you are considering this backpack, then you are most likely drawn to its sleek, modern design and next-level organization. You may also love the fact that Peak Design makes travel photography bags and gear.

The Peak Design travel backpack does a bit of everything. Use it for big trips, weekend trips, commutes, as a day bag, or as a camera bag when you need to. A 45-litre travel backpack is a pretty versatile size!

That said, I should emphasize that this backpack is first and foremost a travel backpack. While you can buy camera dividers and cubes separately that will integrate with this bag, this wouldn’t be my first pick for a camera bag as a 45l bag is tad bulky in my opinion.

That’s not to say this doesn’t make for a decent camera bag, but this bag best used for travel versus casual day to day use.

I bring this up because this backpack has been criticized for its similarity to the Wandrd Camera bag. Though I think the Wandrd Bag has similar features, like the dual side access, you would be better off comparing Peak Design’s Everyday Backpack to other camera backpacks.

Summary:  Peak Design 45 L is a travel backpack. And a great one at that. Use it as a day pack when you need to, but don’t buy this pack specifically for day to day photography and commute. If that’s what you are after, look at their Everyday Backpack instead.

Now, let’s get into the specs, best features, and potential improvements.

Quick Answer: Peak Design Backpack Specs

  • Price: $300
  • Capacity: 45 Liters Max
  • Laptop storage: a 17-inch laptop + iPad
  • Weight: 4.55 lb (2.1 kg)
  • Dimensions:  9 in x 22 in x 13 in (22.9 x 55.9 x 33 cm)

Peak Design’s Backstory

Before I review Peak Design’s newest backpack, I’ll give you some background on the company itself.

Peak Design is best known for its thoughtfully designed camera backpacks , but they didn’t start as a backpack company.

The CEO and founder, Peter Dering, was inspired to create travel products that help you carry your camera gear efficiently and securely.

After going on a 4 month trip around the world, he designed their first product, Capture, a metal clip that helps you carry your camera in an accessible and convenient place (i.e. your backpack, belt, or bag).

Capture is a great invention, as it can get pretty annoying taking your camera in and out of your bag when you’re on the move!

From there, Peak Design made their mark with their everyday backpack (20-30 liters): a pack that adapts to your day-to-day life, whether that is travel, commute, or photography.

The pack that I am reviewing is their newest edition, a 45-liter travel backpack designed for extended trips around the world!

As I said before, Peak Design is known for producing camera products and photography bags, but the 45-liter backpack is NOT primarily a camera bag. It’s a TRAVEL BAG.

I like that it CAN be a camera bag; it’s the epitome of the modern “one bag travel” movement. In other words, this backpack was designed to be used in multiple situations, from daily use to extended vacations.

Peak Design Bag Size

This is the single most important feature of the Travel Bag. In this case, size does matter. What’s great about this bag is it can be sized from 30 liters to 45 L, so you are always carry on compliant.

35 Liters is its normal size, but it can expand 10 liters OR you can use the compression snaps reduce bag to 30L, making it a day bag (though quite a large one at that).

Having said that, traveling the world with a 45L bag is not for everyone.

If you aren’t sure if you want to pack light or pack heavy, read the ‘Great Backpacker Debate’ in our breakdown of the top travel backpacks . It’ll give you everything you need to know about whether traveling ultralight or traveling with more stuff is better for you and your style.

Peak Design Bag Size

Is the Peak Design a Carryon? (Spoiler alert – YES )

In the eternal argument of 40L vs 60L bags is one important discussion, mostly because it’s the difference between the ease of carry-on and dealing with checked luggage and fees! If you travel a lot, then you can end up wasting A LOT of time at luggage reclaim areas.

Traveling with a carry-on bag can be a game-changer. Not only will you have the peace of mind of knowing where your valuables are at all times, but traveling can also be a lot cheaper! (Checked bags add up quickly!)

This backpack meets international max carry-on standards in the default 35L configuration. Stick to these dimensions and you shouldn’t have trouble getting onto even the most strict budget airlines.

If you need more room, then the dual expansion zips give 10L extra volume for 45L max storage.

So if you are looking for one of the best carry on bags – you may have just hit the jackpot.

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

The Travel Backpack carries over some of the conveniences of the Everyday bag, including easy dual side access. This means you can access the main compartment while it is still attached to you by flipping it around to the front of your body.

There is also a laptop/tablet sleeve, intuitive carrying handles, and organizational pockets.

What sets this travel backpack apart from the everyday bag is its size. You can use this bag for your entire travel trip, versus JUST as a day bag.

Peak Design 45 L travel backpack review

Material and Aesthetic

The majority of this backpack is made from 400D nylon canvas with built-in water resistance. You can rest easy knowing that your stuff is going to stay dry if you get caught in a rainstorm.

The bottom of the back is designed with 900D nylon canvas to help protect your valuables from additional abrasions and drops. It’s worth mentioning that this also allows the pack to stand up on its own, a great feature when you’re out and about!

Peak Design travel backpack review

There is a DWR coated polyurethane liner—which will add some more weatherproofing—aluminum hardware, and a bunch of Zoom zippers.

As far as the overall aesthetics, the bag itself is sleek and minimal even though there are a ton of pockets and features, which I cover later in this Peak Design review.

The Peak Design Travel Backpack comes in two different colors—black on black, and sage. I own the black backpack, but like the look of the sage one as well.

The overall look isn’t for everyone. I think this backpack has the same sleek, modern, and eye-catching vibe as a new duffel bag or the Tortuga or AER travel backpacks.

On the other hand, it’s not my preferred look as a day bag or commuter pack. It feels too bulky for my frame. If I just wanted an everyday bag, I would choose Peak Design’s Everyday Backpack. I am still a fan of the classic backpack look when it comes to getting around the city.

That said, this 45-litre backpack was designed for one bag travel ; no more backpacking with a pack on your back and your front.

peak design travel backpack 45 l review

Durability and Security

As mentioned above, this 45-liter backpack is made from durable, high-quality material. There are a couple of hidden pockets to keep your valuables safe. All the zippers on this bag are lockable with O-rings too!

Organizational Features and Accessibility

This is where Peak Design’s backpacks shine. They make their packs with ultimate customizability, so you can organize and access your things in whichever way works best for you!

Accessibility is one of the most important features to look for in a travel backpack. (No more digging for a pair of socks from a top-loading backpack.)

The Peak Design travel backpack’s main compartment can be accessed from the back, front, and both sides, though its main access point is a full zipper from the back.

The back access keeps the straps clean from the main compartment and allows you to access the bulk of your things like a suitcase.

In this case, I think the back access is a good design and a better option than accessing the main compartment from the top.

That being said, I would NOT choose a back access backpack for hiking, and this is only further confirmation that this is NOT a hiking backpack. You’ll never find back access on a hiking backpack because it compromises any type of suspension system.

This is also why I am hesitant to choose a back panel pack for a camera bag. When you’re carrying heavy camera gear, you want a comfortably fitting backpack.

Anyway, I do love how the rear of this Peak Design travel bag opens up completely for instant access to the entire bag. Plus, because this bag opens from the back versus a full zipper in the middle, you have access to the entire space while packing.

You also have access to the main compartment via TWO side panels. I’m not a huge fan of having dual side access in the 45 L travel backpack. While I do love this feature in the Peak Design everyday backpack,  I think it is overkill for a bag that’s 45 liters that already has back and front access.

Still, the dual side panels are awesome if you are using the integrative camera cubes with this pack.

The main compartment is ALSO accessible from the front section via a full-length zipper, as pictured below. This is a pretty awesome feature, as sometimes you need to access the main compartment but can’t use the back panel.

Other times, you may want to remove this section altogether and use the bag in more of a duffel bag format.

There are so many external handles on this pack. And I love it! The top handle is well padded and the two side handles are great when you are grabbing your bag from your car or an oversized bin.

Lastly, there’s one on the bottom PLUS on the back panel for when you fold and put away the straps. You can grab this backpack no matter how it has been stored.

Main Compartment Features and Pockets

The main compartment is accessible via a full open zipper, like a suitcase. This compartment works great with Peak Design’s dedicated travel accessories and packing cubes, which I’ll cover later. You don’t need to use their system though and it works great as-is.

On the sides of this compartment, there are some elastic loops to fully integrate their camera cube system, so you definitely CAN use this backpack as a camera bag.

You also have two zipper pockets that get you access to the front section (though you can’t see these pockets from the picture above because they are underneath my clothes). One pocket is mesh and the other more discrete.

Laptop/Tablet Slot

Laptop sleeves are essential, and we wouldn’t recommend a travel bag without one.

Note:   Check out our article on the best travel business backpacks !

As much as we love them, old school travel bags like Osprey and REI can’t give your tech-specs the same love.

Peak Design’s laptop compartment is located on the back panel and can be accessed by unzipping the main compartment by just a few inches. You can also unzip the backpack entirely and send the computer through security. See my photo above!

There’s ample space for pretty much any size laptop and a smaller pocket for an iPad, Kindle, or journal.

Pockets and Organization Continued

This backpack has some of the most intuitive pockets I’ve used. There are a good amount of external and internal pockets as well as a few hidden ones to keep your things organized.

Moving to the exterior pockets, the top quick stash is perfect for small snacks, your keys, phone, and even your passport and documents, though valuables are best stored away in the hidden side pocket! This top pocket has a fabric lining, so your sunnies or valuables won’t scratch.

Dual external carry straps stow away in a magnetic external pouch. These work great for extra clothes like a jacket, or even your tripod and tuck away when not in use.

Moving to the inside of the pack, the main front area zips all the way open to easily access your things. This section is huge with four good-sized sections to organize your things as well as enough room to store an extra jacket, book, etc.

Peak Design travel backpack review

Because of this section, it’s one of the best-organized travel backpacks I’ve used. I feel like I’m packing for my first day of school again! (You guys remember that feeling, right?)

The two top pockets (that face each other) are mesh and the bottom two are nylon. Use the top zipper pockets for anything you would need to grab quickly and your everyday essentials.

I use these pockets to organize my wires and chargers, head torch, small electronics, pens, etc.

pockets on peak design travel backpack

If you don’t want to use all four of the pockets, that’s fine—they lay flat, so it won’t make a difference in the overall space of the bag.

The side pictured above is ALSO accessible from the main compartment! You can access your main compartment from the front or even “remove” the separator altogether so that bag is more like a duffel bag.

If you would rather access your backpack from the front than the back, then it’s a great feature! This level of customizability is what sets Peak Design’s travel backpack apart from the competition.

Side Pockets

I am a big fan of the expandable side pockets. I have used a couple of bags that can’t fit my 40 oz hydro flask, which is always a huge bummer. I’m pretty confident that this bag will handle any sized bottle, including a wine bottle. Just saying.

Plus, the side pockets are made from durable nylon, not mesh (which is often the first material to give out on backpacks). A final note on the side pockets: there is also a stealthy zippered pocket within the water bottle sleeve. It’s so stealthy I didn’t know it existed at first. I’m assuming thieves won’t either!

Straps and Waist Belts – How Comfortable is the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45 L ?

I think the straps are extremely comfortable! I am also a big fan of the easy-to-stow waist straps for when you are en route or storing your backpack away.

(Side note on the straps: There is a stretchy, mesh-like pocket on the left-hand side of the hip belt for small items.)

The rotating shoulder straps and waist straps are one of Peak Design’s signatures. Because the shoulder straps easily rotate, it’s easy to swing the pack around and access the sides while you’re still wearing it.

The rotation also makes it easy to tuck and stow the straps behind the panel when not in use. I have a few backpacks with detachable straps, but they’re so annoying to remove that I never do. I LOVE how easy it is to tuck away Peak Design’s entire harness system in just a couple of seconds.

back panel for Peak Design travel backpack 45 L review

The harness system tucks away via the magnetic stowage behind the pack. Once everything is hidden, there’s a handle in the middle of the back panel that can be used to carry the bag in duffel mode. The handle also works as a pass-through system for roller luggage!

One final very cool feature about the back panel is that you can fold the edges of the panel inward at their creases so that the panel takes up less surface area (for better ventilation) AND provides more padding for comfort.

It’s little details like these that make Peak Design such an incredible company.

Is There Room for Improvement?

Honestly, there isn’t much to complain about. I really do love the design of this backpack.

I’d say the biggest drawback is its price. The backpack costs $300 which is pretty steep. Add in a couple of the accessories and the price can quickly jump up to $400.

I’m also not sure how I feel about having two side access panels and I think one side panel would be enough.

Peak Design Travel Bag Accessories

There are quite a few Peak Design travel accessories you can purchase to accompany your bag. I haven’t used Peak Design’s camera cubes or tech pouch (which looks similar to the wash pouch ), so I won’t be reviewing those.

I do own their wash pouch and packing cubes and genuinely recommend them. I love the Peak Design packing cubes and I would not hesitate to buy them. They are much better quality than my other cubes, plus they’re compressible and instantly dividable.

I’ve always thought packing cubes should have a separate slit for dirty clothes… Well, Peak Design did that with their internal divider! Each compartment is also able to expand and contract based on its contents. They really do think of everything.

Peak Design Travel Bag Accessories

Their wash kit is an essential toiletry bag. Again, if you don’t already have a toiletry kit then don’t hesitate to buy this one! I love that it sits upright on the counter AND hangs via a stowable hook.

It separates down the middle via a magnetically-sealed toothbrush pocket to separate, say, make-up from bath toiletries. There is a network of mesh pockets on each side of the bag too. You’ll find an external razor pocket.

peak travel bag

The Shimoda Explorer V2 has all you need, is a hiking backpack with photographer built in mind, and works as a perfect daypack for the peak design travel backpack. It has a metal frame, it has a suspension system and opens from the back. It even has straps built for women as an alternative style you can get.

My sweet spot is about 10 kg. After trying and returning the Peak Design 45L which had a flimsy support system, I bought the Tortuga Setout 45L woman’s version which has a beefy shoulder harness and comfortable hip support. Due to no metal support frame, it weighs 4lbs compared with 5lbs for my older 45L Eagle Creek, so I can carry 1 lb more cargo. But tradeoff for 1 lb weight reduction = there is no removable internal frame, so you can’t wash it (wipe only).

MY PRIORITY: (1) Buy the most comfortable suport system you can find, (2) Find your sweet spot – your endurance weight capacity, followed by (3) Design.

SUMMARY: It doesn’t matter how well designed the bag is – if support system is inadequate, you MUST opt for a smaller backpack. No use wasting extra money buying larger capacity if you can’t support it!

It is a fantastic bag but you cannot carry camera equipment in this bag. The straps cannot disperse the weight appropriately. Everytime I have traveled with this bag I have never put more then 15 litres of equipment in it one camera body and lens, clothes, water and first aid kit. If I try using the main compartment for camera gear it gets way to heavy and painful to carry. Thanks for the review.

I just wanted to respond to a couple of points you made in the article:

“The back access keeps the straps clean from the main compartment and allows you to access the bulk of your things like a suitcase. In this case, I think the back access is a good design and a better option than accessing the main compartment from the top. That being said, I would NOT choose a back access backpack for hiking, and this is only further confirmation that this is NOT a hiking backpack. You’ll never find back access on a hiking backpack because it compromises any type of suspension system. This is also why I am hesitant to choose a back panel pack for a camera bag. When you’re carrying heavy camera gear, you want a comfortably fitting backpack.”

This is actually vital for a photography backpack so that you can lay your pack down and access all your equipment by seeing it at one. Take a look for example at the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW. See how the rear entry does not interfere with the straps? The problem, as you say, is that it isn’t a hiking backpack.

The closest I can find to a perfect pack with that back panel access is the Osprey Soelden backpack, which allows this entry, but it’s too small for my needs.

If somebody made a proper hiking backpack with backpanel access to photographic equipment it would sell like hot cakes.

Number 1 concern is how comfortable and how strong the hip and shoulder straps are. Can you walk several miles with this thing fully loaded on your back?

Hello – I think it depends on your definition of “fully loaded”. Typically with bags around 45 liters – I would not carry more than 15 kgs as the support systems are not built to handle massive loads in the 25 kg range. Peak Design’s backpacks are well designed and the shoulder straps are padded so if you keep your loads lighter than 15 kg – you should be fine. Cheers!

Hey Will, I was looking to get a good packable backpack for my upcoming trip to Thailand and found this backpack https://the-most-functional-packable.kckb.st/96ac29dc on Indiegogo. What do you think about it? Looks like a great backpack for travel, I was just looking for some opinions before I made my decision… By the way, I love the content you have been posting lately 🙂

Hello, This looks like a solid enough backpack for travel though in my opinion quite small and flimsy looking. We definitely recommend going with this Peak Design pack or some of our other favorites including the Nomatic Travel Bag or the AER Travel Pack, both of which we have lengthy reviews of. Good luck!!

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L Review

Read this Peak Design Travel Backpack Review for travelers and photographers needing an all in one system to carry gear and clothing efficiently.

Bag Reviews | Peak Design Bag Reviews | Photography Gear Reviews | By Mark Condon | Last Updated: January 24, 2024

I wrote this Peak Design Travel Backpack review a year ago, but have decided to update it for 2024 with some insights from my recent trips.

Peak Design is well known in the photography industry for creating bags that innovate in excel – we’ve reviewed almost all of them here on Shotkit.

Their foray into the travel industry was an eagerly anticipated one, and I was keen to get my hands on their new 45L camera backpack .

Peak_Design_Travel_Backpack_Review

Functional, durable, comfortable... and uber cool! A truly unique camera backpack for travel.

My initial review was written after a couple of weeks of testing. It was, admittedly, rather harsh 😐

The Peak Design Travel Backpack deserves at least a year of consistent usage in order to form a balanced opinion – as you’ll see, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye…

See More Reviews

Writing camera bag reviews is usually a rather simple affair. After all, a bag designed to carry a camera is usually much like any other bag, albeit one with some form of adjustable padding to safely transport photography gear.

Then there are bags like the Peak Design Travel Backpack that require a big step backwards, and a complete rethink of how to broach the topic.

To say that there’s a lot going on with the Peak Design Travel Backpack and the system of Packing Cubes is an understatement.

Luggage redefined: a carry-on Travel Backpack and system of Packing Tools designed around the idea that no two trips are the same.

There are literally so many features, so many nooks and crannies, and so many more large and small design details than you could shake a stick at – this review was a real challenge to put together!

Writing about every single one of the feaures of the bag would result in an enormous post, so I’ve decided to approach this review a little differently, and highlight what I like and dislike about the product.

Summary of Features

Watch the video above to see all the features of the Peak Design Travel Backpack, including practical usage cases.

Despite all the video reviews flying around online, Peak Design is obviously the best at showing exactly what this backpack is capable of in real-world situations.

As you’ve probably gathered, this is no ordinary camera backpack. It’s a complicated product with numerous features that require time to digest, and as such, is best explained in a video by its makers.

After you’ve watched the video, keep reading on to hear more about my favourite features, and those that left me feeling a little confused.

What I Like

travel bag day pack with waist straps and nylon cancas and side access / side pockets

Size comparison – I’m 6ft 4″ (194cm)

While some brands choose to release a range of bags with different design elements to suit a range of people, Peak Design seems to prefer to try and offer one bag for everyone.

With the other bags in the line up, size is the only differentiator – you can have the Peak Design Sling , for example, in 5L or 10L variants.

With the Peak Design Travel Backpack , there’s only one size (45L), but a plethora of built-in storage/carry options designed to appeal to every sort of traveler/photographer.

45L is actually the expanded size of the backpack, with its regular size hovering around 35L, which is in my opinion the perfect size for a travel backpack. It’s also the maximum carry-on size of most airlines.

You can also ‘collapse’ the top third of the backpack, making it 35L and its appearance slightly less bulky. I think the aim here was to transform the bag into a more streamlined day pack, but in reality it doesn’t make that much difference.

The main thing I like about the design of the Peak Design Travel Backpack is how it looks. For all its bells and whistles, it still succeeds in looking understated and cool.

review of nylon canvas backpack 45L travel bag design

I usually opt for all-black bags, but the ‘Sage’ colourway looks great too!

I’m not a huge fan of the appearance of their previous creation, the Peak Design Everyday backpack , even though it’s a hugely popular product.

I much prefer the look of the Peak Design Travel Backpack in both black or ash, which manages to straddle both ‘tech’ with ‘stealth’, whilst still concealing an absolute tardis of internal carry/storage options.

The ‘Ash’ colourway deserves a special mention for being unlike any other bag I’ve owned – it really is a unique colour – kind of a mixture between grey and green, which is attractive and cool. I particularly like the brown leather branding accent on the front.

Recently, Peak Design have been releasing all-black versions of its Everyday line of bags, and I’m glad they went with two one-colour options with the Travel Backpack.

I’m also glad they resisted the temptation to bring other colours in to the various design elements, which may have resulted in a very ‘busy’ appearance.

Camera cube featuring padded dividers can be accessed via the front flap or side flaps.

Looks are nothing unless they’re built on a solid foundation, and the Peak Design Travel Backpack doesn’t disappoint in this regard.

In fact, every Peak Design product I’ve handled has always featured premium build quality.

The more you use the Peak Design Travel Backpack, the more you’ll appreciate just how well it’s been put together.

The nylon shell looks and feels amazing in its matt finish, and coupled with its concealed padding, it’s built to protect your precious camera gear even if you’re forced to check-in the bag when traveling.

Available separately, the camera cubes add an additional layer of protection, whilst offering innovative side access points which mirror those found on the actual backpack, for ease of access without removing the bag from your shoulder.

As mentioned previously, the bag’s padding feels so robust so I’ve actually decided not to use the camera cube, with all my main gear items stowed away in the main flap’s zippered pockets.

Another example of the incredible build quality of the Peak Design Travel Backpack are the waterproof zippers, that slide solidly, but effortlessly around the inside and outside of the bag.

If you’ve ever wrestled with a zipper when it meets a curve, the operation of this bag will be a breath of fresh air. I also love how the zippers completely concealed when fastened, with the zipper pulls remaining large enough to grab even with gloved hands, but still not overwhelming in the bag’s overall appearance.

The zippers also offer multiple ways to secure the bag from pickpockets.

review peak design one bag

Modular Tech pouch (reviewed here) and Wash pouch (sold separately) feature numerous organisation options.

Once you’ve got over the sheer multitude of storage options available to you, and realise that you don’t need to use every single pocket and pouch, you’ll have a lot of fun loading and unloading the Peak Design Travel Backpack.

It feels a little strange initially to neglect certain storage options on the bag, but I believe this is essential to use it efficiently.

Leaving pockets completely empty and unused on the Peak Design Travel Backpack is OK! It may seem strange, but really, let go…!

Peak Design has given you the luxury of choice when it comes to loading your perfect travel backpack. This is a great thing, as long as you’re not wasting time looking for items every time you need to use them.

The storage options I liked in particular on this bag were as follows:

  • Side pockets – these expand to include water bottles or lightweight tripods , and include handy magnetic closures when storing smaller items. They’re also the perfect size to house the awesome Peak Design Travel Tripod .
  • Internal Main Flap Zippered pockets – I use these to carry small travel cameras and lenses.
  • Shoulder Straps stowaway – ingenious design which allows you to create a ‘clean’ duffel bag , with the shoulder straps concealed behind the magnetic rear panel.
  • Belt Strap stowaway – as above, but for a belt strap for when you need the extra support.
  • Belt Strap zipper pocket – useful for small items, meaning you don’t need to remove your backpack for access.

Shotkit being a site for photographers, I should also mention that that the camera cubes transform the Peak Design Travel Backpack into a fully-fledged camera backpack .

The cubes are available in 3 sizes, and mount securely to the inside of the Travel Backpack via removable clips. The side access points can be tucked away, allowing you to access camera gear from the outside of the backpack via a single zip .

You can fit a ton of gear into the Peak Backpack!

Inside the camera cubes reside a selection of Peak Design’s origami-style dividers and other padded ones, allowing endless organization and customization.

The cubes are sturdily built and offer a lot of protection, almost as if they’re intended to be used on their own. I actually found that the padding of the Travel Backpack was substantial enough to not actually require a camera cube to protect my gear.

I imagine if you’re planning to check-in the backpack, using the camera cube would offer the most peace of mind for protection, but if the backpack is to be largely remaining on your back, it may not actually be necessary (from a protection point at least).

Either way, the camera cubes do provide additional organisation options for your gear, which can be very useful.

As for the tech pouch and wash pouch, they’re both impeccably built and designed, with a multitude of sleeves, pockets, nooks and crannies to organise all your bits and bobs and keep them protected.

I also like the compressible packing cubes and shoe pouch, which weigh next to nothing and help keep the miscellaneous clothing items organised in the backpack.

Camera Cube can be accessed via side opening of Travel Backpack.When you’ve got over the (somewhat confusing) novelty of being able to access the contents of your bag via the front, the back, the sides and the top, you should decide on one or two access options that work best for you.

This goes back to the notion of decision-fatigue, whereby you’ll be forced to think every time you come to open the Peak Design Travel Backpack, since there are so many damn ways to get inside it!

Remember I mentioned muscle-memory? Well, I want to be at a point with this bag where my hands move without thought to exactly where my gear is located.

I’ve chosen to ignore the side entry points completely, choosing to favour front flap or rear panel access. If I need gear, I access via the front. If I need clothes etc., I access via the back.

Once you’ve decided on your access points, you can now enjoy one of the best-thought-out travel bags you’ll ever come across.

No matter which zipper you pull to get into the Peak Design Travel Backpack, you’ll be able to access the interior in a split-second, without tugging stubborn zippers back and forth, or scratching your arm trying to reach through small openings.

Pulling open the front flap or rear panel is a glorious experience, instantly revealing the entire contents of the interior main compartment (or zippered interior pockets, depending on how you have the backpack set up).

peak design review of everyday backpack for travel

Padded rear panel conceals shoulder and hip straps.

With all these innovative design features, let’s not forget what a travel backpack needs to do well – be comfortable while you carry it.

Despite being heavier than other travel backpacks I’ve come across, all that is forgotten when you actually have the Peak Design Travel Backpack on your back – this thing feels great to carry.

The rear panel and shoulder straps are padded just enough for prolonged use, and the axial rivets that secure the straps to the top of the bag allow the straps to rotate freely as you move.

This small design addition results in a backpack that conforms to any shape and size of back, and makes the Peak Design Travel Backpack comfortable and enjoyable to carry.

The stowable waist straps are a great addition too, allowing you to tighten the backpack more securely to your body, to aid with weight distribution and reduce movement when walking or running. There’s also a basic sternum strap, to further reduce bag movement.

I also love the grab handles, which as you’d expect from such a multi-faceted product as this, are located on the top, sides, rear and bottom of the backpack! The back handle also doubles as a pass-through for rolling camera bags, which is a nice touch if you’re traveling with check-in luggage too.

Another ingenious design feature is the rear panel, which folds under itself for increased ventilation and comfort, by reducing the surface area on your back.

What I Dislike

Over-design….

peak design review

Zippered dividing panel separates bag into 2 compartments, or stows away to create 1 large volume

Watching the video above, you’ll probably be excited about a camera backpack with so many features – several of which you’ve probably never seen on a bag before.

After all, I can’t name any travel backpack or camera bag which offers access from all 4 sides… well actually, 5 sides if you include the regular top access too.

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a bag with so many pockets, zips, straps and attachment points either.

In their own words, the Peak Design Travel Backpack is the result of “2-years of coffee fueled nights and a desire to make the best damn travel system on the market.”

Now imagine an experienced design team consisting of photographers and other creative professionals, with a proven track record of creating a line of truly innovative carrying products, having a 2 year long discussion about what to include in a travel/camera backpack… it’s inevitable they’d create a monster!

The Peak Design Travel Backpack is the first bag I’ve ever used that requires muscle memory!

Is this a bad thing? Well, yes and no. Yes perhaps, if it’s a backpack you’ll be rotating alongside several other bags, without devoting the necessary time to really get used to its multiple storage options – I wasn’t kidding about the muscle memory thing!

Side access point – 1 of 5 ways to get inside the Travel Backpack

…and no if the Peak Design Travel Backpack will be, as Peak Design intended, the only travel/camera backpack you’ll ever need.

By my counting, there are eleven pockets you could legitimately use to carry your passport. ELEVEN!

With this bag, you need to spend time deciding and memorising which pockets you’ll be using for each individual gear item… and never change them!

There’s the OCD part of me that loves being able to organise gear in a compartmentalized way, with a pocket for absolutely everything.

Then there’s the lazy part of me that’s most comfortable with simplicity. Up until now my travel backpack of choice had 3 pockets – one main one for clothes, one laptop sleeve, and one for small items such as passports.

In this I’d throw a camera bag insert, or just the camera gear wrapped up in my clothes. I’d always know where everything was without having to think .

With the myriad of carrying/storage options offered to you by the Peak Design Travel Backpack, you’ll either be excited or overwhelmed.

2024 UPDATE: After using this bag solidly for over a year, I’ve grown accustomed to the location of all the pockets, and have chosen to ignore those that aren’t practical for me. It’s nice to know that there are other storage options, if and when my gear changes.

peak design review of travel bag

Front organization panel with dedicated laptop/tablet sleeve opens to reveal main compartment, medium camera cube, wash pouch and tech pouch.

This was almost a deal-breaker for me. One of my bug-bears with camera bags has always been bags that are heavy even when they’re empty.

Camera gear is already heavy – why would we want to add to this burden by using a bag that’s heavy?!

Unfortunately, it’s usually the case that the best looking camera bags are heavier than their rivals. Bags like the Holdfast Roamographer (reviewed here ) or the Wotancraft Commander (reviewed here ) which wouldn’t look out of place on a catwalk are heavy, and that’s why I don’t use them.

As for a dedicated travel bag, well weight becomes even more important, especially if you travel a lot on stingy local airlines with measly carry on baggage limits (7kg in Australia).

Empty, it weighs in at 2190 g (4.8 lbs). Coupled with the Medium Camera Cube which I imagine most photographers will go for, the combined weight is already 2930 g (6.5 lbs).

My goal is to always travel with just one single carry-on item, not only for fear of mislaid checked luggage, but also to do away with the time required waiting for luggage to arrive on the conveyor belt at the destination.

Ironically, the weight of the Peak Design Travel Backpack actually makes it a huge challenge for me to travel without checking in an additional bag.

Depending on your country and airlines, this may or may not be an issue for you, but I’d much prefer to be under the most stringent airline baggage allowances worldwide, for absolute peace of mind.

Pro travel tip for photographers: Over the carry on weight limit? Simply attach your flashes and lenses to your camera bodies and carry them via a strap on your shoulders when checking in. It’s a bit cheeky, but these items won’t count towards your carry on luggage weight.

[Related: travel tips for photographers .]

Fortunately, I use a mirrorless camera system and a couple of small, lightweight flashes and lenses (see my Sony accessories guide ), so shave off a lot of weight in that regard.

However, traveling with the Peak Design Travel Backpack has required a complete rethink of my packing options.

2024 UPDATE: I’ve been traveling carry-on-only with this bag for a year now. Yes, it’s been a challenge on regional planes with stingy baggage allowances, but it has been possible with a little ‘rejigging’ of my gear.

To say that the weight of the Peak Design Travel Backpack is a disappointment to me is an understatement, but I’m willing to make the sacrifice and use this bag over my previous light-weight travel bag for two reasons.

First, protection . Made from recycled plastics, the 400d nylon canvas shell and 900d bottom is weatherproof and extremely durable. The exterior is padded to the extent that I don’t feel I actually need to use the bulky camera cube at all, which shaves off some extra weight to my set up.

The second reason is that I’ve grown to like the wealth of features, which no doubt add to the weight.

Yes, I believe it’s somewhat excessive to have so many carry/storage options, but it’s also great to have a place for each gear item, once you’ve spent the time memorising the location of everything.

Thanks to the exterior padding and multiple zipped pockets on the interior, I’m currently experimenting with my camera body plus two lenses in one pocket, and my 2 flashes and trigger in another – a second zippered flap ensures that my gear is suspended above the main carry compartment.

For those with bulkier DSLR set ups, my pocketed-approach to gear storage to free up the main compartment won’t be possible, in which case you’ll need to resort to the camera cubes, or my recommendation for lighter weight – Domke protective velcro wraps.

It’s also worth noting that if you want a camera backpack with a similar level of robustness and features, it’ll also be as heavy as this one – case in point, the McKinnon x Nomatic Camera Pack , which weighs in at a portly 3kg (6.6lbs) unpacked!

Value for Money + Cost

Shotkit review peak design travel bag

Despite so many innovative features, the Peak Design Travel Backpack manages to remain understated in its appearance.

So for such a well-thought-out, well-designed backpack , what’s the damage?!

It’s obvious that for this level of quality, you’re going to be looking at pricing that’s above average for a travel backpack, but Peak Design has still managed to keep it competitive when compared to other models by competing brands.

45L Travel Backpack MSRP: $299.95

The various modular packing cubes are sold separately here, giving you the option to pick and create your own individual bag set up to suit your needs.

Compressible Packing Cubes MSRP: Sm – $29.95, Md – $39.95

Wash Pouch MSRP: $59.95

Tech Pouch MSRP: $59.95

Camera Cubes MSRP: Sm – $49.95, Md – $69.95, Lg – $89.95

Shoe Pouch MSRP: $24.95

Rain Fly MSRP: $29.95

All in all, I think the Travel Backpack and accessories are all excellent value for money , and a great investment for those who need a highly functional, good looking travel backpack that is built to last a lifetime

The Peak Design Travel Backpack is built for the elements. It has outer shell made from waterproof nylon canvas and double padding. The zippers are also waterproof.

How big is a 45l backpack?

A 45l bag is the most efficient use of most airlines’ carry-on luggage allowance. A bag measuring 22″ x 14″ x 9″ is 2,772 cubic inches in volume, which equates to 45.2l.

How do I clean my Peak Design bag?

Most dirt can be easily removed using a damp washcloth. The Peak Design Travel Backpack is treated with anti-absorbtion agents, meaning that most stains don’t penetrate very deep. If the stain/order is still present after the first rinse, repeat the hand wash, and gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse and repeat as necessary. Then let the bag fully dry in a well-ventilated area.

Peak Design Travel Backpack | Conclusion

peak travel bag

So as you can see, there’s a lot to like about the Peak Design Travel Backpack…

It’s hard to please everyone with the release of a product, but Peak Design has certainly tried to do exactly that with the Travel Backpack.

I love the modular approach, which attempts to simplify travel via the use of dedicated pouches for tech, toiletries and clothing.

Initially I was overwhelmed by the multiple carry and storage options of this backpack, and part of me wishes that they’d neglected some of them, which may have resulted in a lighter product.

However, I’m willing to sacrifice my lighter travel bags for the minor additional weight of the Peak Design Travel Backpack, and what I’m left with is a truly innovative product which is a genuine joy to use.

Congratulations Peak Design for continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in bag design, and in doing so, making one-bag-travel more convenient, secure and fun.

Great review. I just purchased this bag to be used as luggage but I’m also considering using it as an everyday carry for my camera gear (with a camera cube) as well. I do family photography so I need something to take out with me on client shoots, but am also looking for a bag I can take to, say the zoo or out for an afternoon hike, with my wife and 4 kids. Having 4 kids you can imagine there’s always a lot of extra stuff. Would you recommend this bag as an everyday carry given my use description? I realize I’m asking a lot of one bag.

Hey Chris! As long as you can handle the weight, I don’t see why not! Personally, I wouldn’t use it as an EDC (despite having 3 kids), as would prefer something lighter, even if it is only by a few grams. My personal preference is a smaller camera and no lenses for personal stuff (Fuji X100V, for example). All the best!

Hi Mark! Huge thanks for your review, it was pretty useful. You know, I’ve just bought this backpack (in a really good price by the way), and I’d like to know how well this backpack fits in the overhead compartment and down the seat. I’m currently using the AER travel pack 2 and looks like a hand luggage, fits in everywhere so I’d like to know what ‘bout this one. I’ll appreciate your answer.

I’ve used it several times in the overhead compartment on small budget airlines, Diego, so you won’t have any problems. As for under the seat, it should be fine too.

Hi Mark! I’m thinking about buying this backpack for my travels, however, for my current gear setup, a small cube would be too small and the medium would be too big. Can you detail how you managed too ditch the camera cubes? A few photos would be of great help. Can’t figure out where you fit your camera and lenses, as I’m a Sony shooter myself and only carry 2 zooms with me.

Great review by the way.

Hey Alex, I use the 5L or 3L Peak Design sling instead of the cubes – you should be able to find a review on this site of them ;-)

This backpack seems quite incredible and suits most my needs which made me consider changing a backpack. There’s one problem though that I didn’t see anyone discussing in any review I looked up of this bag – What about suspension systems? It seems to have none. How comfortable is it when you carry it for a long period of time? (Like a few hours?) Especially when you carry so much in it and the bag itself is heavy.

That’s something that really bothered me and I saw nowhere that discusses it, and if I’m going to change my regular backpack for this quite pricey one I want to make sure it’s actually comfortable on your back…Any thoughts? References? Suggestions?

There’s no suspension system, but to be honest, I don’t miss one Gal. This isn’t a hiking backpack though, so if you intend to walk long distances with it fully loaded, you’re probably better off with a suspended hiking backpack, or something designed for that kind of thing.

How has the bag been holding up over the years time that’s passed? Also, can you fit the Sling 5L inside much like their camera cubes? I’d like to be able to use the 5L as an EDC while traveling Europe. Thanks!

It holds up very well – no signs of abrasions, and easy to wipe down when it gets dirty – I find the black version shows dust a lot more than the other colours. I have the 5L sling too and it fits well in either size of the EDB – a perfect EDC as you mention! If you found this info useful, use this link to get it – cheers, and happy holidays in Europe ;-)

Sorry, I was speaking of the Peak Travel Backpack (45L). Were you speaking of the Everyday Backpack?

Ah right, sorry Dean – yep, it can definitely fit in the Travel Backpack! I’ve used it like that before, foregoing the usual camera cube that you can buy separately for the Travel Backpack. Works a charm ;-)

I wish bag reviewers would review a travel bag for what it is for, travel. I want to know how many clothes can fit in here along with some camera gear.

Just click on any of the links or head to the Peak Design site for that info, Jeff.

I like you this bag ok

I’m not going to be seduced by this gorgeous product which I don’t need. The negatives: half the carry-on allowance is the bag. Can you travel with 7# total? No way. And I travel light 6.8 kg with a 1 3/4# bag!. Carry comfort: I’m old and carry comfort is #1 consideration. Peak D EDC sucked IMHO. And I have no reason to think otherwise here. My Osprey Escapist 18 makes the weight DISAPPEAR. Last-once you’ve used a bag for a long time, the features don’t matter-you can make anything work. I use Sil-nylon pouches, know where everything is, can pack unpack in seconds, doesn’t add weight. The number one factor in increasing travel pleasure is getting rid of weight. I bought a PD Field Pouch which I had to re-design and now never use: too heavy/man purse. After all their hype, when I shoot, I have the camera around my neck, spare batteries in my pocket and don’t need ANY BAG. This one loaded is half the price of a Leica M2. (Hey Mark. Would you actually PAY YOUR OWN HARD EARNED CASH ON THIS BAG?)

I agree that it’s not a bag for everyone, Laurence, but for those who don’t care about carry-on allowances, it may be more suited. To answer your question, I’m going to be traveling overseas and interstate (on planes) several times in the coming months for photography work – I’ll let you know after that!

1. How is it that they need a kickstarter when they already have a successful company? 2. I love the design of my peak design backpack. But as a woman, it’s hard to open the side compartments in the sling mode, partially because of my anatomy. Something called breasts get in the way. It opens with the flap in your way. Too difficult to get your camera out that way. 3. But I tried A LOT of packs and I am blown away by the features and craftsmanship. I’m heading off to Europe soon, so I will be able to give a “out in the field” review. (My sis works in design for one of the big three automotive companies and I wow’d her with the manufacturing of the pack.)

I love your website and your reviews. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the kind words Dailyn. To comment on your points: 1. I guess it’s to validate their idea before mass production. 2. haha I guess you should be thankful for those!! 3. Let us know how it fares, and have fun in Europe!

I backed it- I’m going to use it as a bag for all my Fuji gear on a wedding day- use the bag as a base at weddings and go to it when I need to change anything.

Sounds like a good way to use it Murray – I do something similar with my bigger bag.

Wow, a fantastically detailed review of this quite innovative travel backpack! As a Fujifilm X-System landscape and product photographer who rarely travels with more than one body and 3 or 4 lenses (plus of course, a good solid tripod), this bag would be a “bit” large! And, like you, I don’t enjoy bags that are heavy even when empty. (That’s why I avoid all-leather options. Ballistic Nylon or the like is the way to go, IMHO.) So, I find that an 18L size is about right for my kit, such as the MindShift TrailScape 18L Backpack. That said, I do admire some of the innovations of Peak Design, such as the QR camera clips and modules. Again, an excellent review!

Thanks Steve! I think I may have been a little too harsh with my comments on the bag’s weight. Yes, it is heavier than others in its class… but only by a matter of grams, and those other backpacks don’t often nearly the amount of features as this one. Swings and roundabouts!

Nice review! I that you really took real world usage into consideration, a lot.

Glad you liked it Rez. It’s a great bag that deserves an in-depth analysis.

  10. Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L Review

    Even at this smaller size, the Travel Backpack 30L's laptop sleeve is still pretty large. It easily swallows our 16-inch MacBook Pro with tons of room to spare. It's well-padded at the front and the back, and there's a false bottom to absorb impacts from setting the bag down on a surface.

  11. Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L Review

    Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L Quick Grab Pocket. Moving on the inside of the pack, there is a quick-grab pocket at the top of the bag with some stretchy mesh on the inside. This is a nice pocket for all of your airport essentials, and they've done a nice job making this pocket really blend into the rest of the bag.

    As far as the overall aesthetics, the bag itself is sleek and minimal even though there are a ton of pockets and features, which I cover later in this Peak Design review. The Peak Design Travel Backpack comes in two different colors—black on black, and sage. I own the black backpack, but like the look of the sage one as well.
