This is 'The' Travel Backpack
on April 21, 2019
Posted by: Justin
I'm going to start our with saying The Peak Design Travel Backpack is the most comfortable large backpack I've ever owned. I can easily take a week vacation with this one and not worry about space. Checking luggage is in the past with this backpack. It's versatile. Lot's of options. It gives you the power to come up with creative ways to store things. I'm not going to use this every day but if I'm going anywhere be it for a weekend or a week or so I know I'm going to be happy with this backpack.
I've used a backpacking backpack many times previously. However, never a backpack for traveling (vacations). I was able to get an entire weeks of clothing in the 45L pack using the medium and small packing cubes. I used the Medium camera cube for my photo gear instead of taking the 20l or 30Lpacks. I used the slide light strap and anchor clips to carry the medium camera cube. The camera cube fit under my airplane seat and the 45L when in the over head. Perfect.
I bought the Travel Backpack, in black, to carry my mirrorless camera gear, which it does very well. But I came to appreciate just how versatile it is, and how well it lives up to its name, when I recently needed to pack for a five day Europe trip with limited stowage, to contest a classic car rally. Staying in big hotels meant rooms a long way from the desk, so a backpack would be useful. Limited time out of the car meant organising everything to minimise time spent changing etc. Step forward, a large and a small packing cube, which held, respectively, shirts, tops and trousers, and smalls, socks and handkerchiefs, for all six days. You only appreciate how good these are when you realise they keep all your dirty linen separate and come up the same size as you started with, making repacking each morning a dream..The bag lived in a dirty boot, so the rain fly became a dust cover. Nothing broke, jammed or caused a second of delay. In a word, perfect. Back home, a camera bag again in two minutes. We have another trip this week and this is now my go to bag. Time to get a wash pouch too...
I have the everyday backpack for my camera stuff and love it. I had a disaster with another (who will not be named) manufacturer's bag for my work use, so then took the plunge and ordered this, a tech, packing cubes and just to cap it off the medium camera cube. It is so versatile for everyday use, but for a short travel with the cubes, or if I refashion it I can get all my camera stuff in it for a big shoot. It is great quality. And to get away from the blacks and charcoal, I went all Sage this time and it is growing on me! Really recommend this: it will last for ages.
Zaino progettato e costruito in maniera eccellente, accessibile frontalmente, posteriormente e lateralmente, grazie agli ottimi accessori "camera cube" si trasforma in un perfetto zaino fotografico, nella dimensione media ci sta tutto il mio corredo Fuji (X Pro2, !6mm, 27mm, 35mm, 90mm, 50-140mm e vari accessori), utilizzando invece i packing cube diventa un eccellente zaino da viaggio con durata di una settimana ed oltre. Altamente consigliato
Initially I used this everyday when bicycling between my work and my home. Yes, it's too big for that but it worked.
Now I'm on a 14 day train trip across Europe and this bag just delivers every single day. All the details and things you initially found a bit exaggerated finds its place. It is so smart and comfortable. Combined with the packing cubes and the 5L sling for day trips this is a setup I can't recommend enough.
The bag is enormous and can fit a lot of stuffs into one single space. With a lot of pockets, the small accessories can be fitted in each of its own pocket. With the perfect size to carry on the plane and its great security, I feel so confidence to fill in the valuable stuff in this bag.
I've eye on this bag since kickstarter campaign. At that time I try many bag as camera bag and everyday bag. I cann't find the needed one. Some good as camera bag on the other hand some is good as everyday bag. First time I saw Travel line, I fall in love with this perfect bag. It's function is very flexible as camera bag and everyday bag also the traveler bag as it is. after I see the kickstarter project of travel line, I commit myself to own this bag and since then I didn't eye on any other bag. Today I own this bag and It's perfect as I expect. Not only the function but also the material is as best as I expect. Love this bag so much
