Glad I bought this!

I bought the 35/45 travel backdrop for a trip to Europe. Previously when traveling, I used an Osprey that had several pockets, but it didn't seem like it carried a lot. I was looking for a "clam" style backpack to carry more on our trip. I spent quite a bit of time looking at all the name brand backpacks and after an extensive research, I landed on the DP 35/45 travel backpack. This backpack had all of the features that I was looking for. The designers of this product hit a home run with their design and all of the features. I like the fact that this can be collapsed or expanded depending on how much you are carrying. I really like that the shoulder straps can be tucked in when not needed. This was a very unique feature and none of the other backpacks that I was looking had this feature. They all had removable back straps or could not be removed at all. The anti-theft features also stood out for me. Even though this is a "claim" shell type of backpack, there are still enough compartments to hold the smaller items I am packing. I like that I have quick access to my iPad and headphones. I like that there are multiple ways to access the items in the backpack (side, front and back). I bought my wife a different brand backpack and after our trip, she is now wishing that I had bought the DP 35/45 L for her. The quality of the material is excellent and this should last a lifetime. I'm so glad that I bought this and can't wait to use it again. As this backup is so wonderfully made, I have created my own wish list of DP product that I would like to purchase in the future. While the cost of this backpack was more than I was originally looking to spend, I have come to realize that you get what you pay for and it is better to buy quality products and not cheap out and have issues with a lesser product.

Finally can get all my gear and have some space for other things in carry-on luggage. Smart design and high quality backpack. My first Peak Design product and probably not last.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Favourite hand luggage of all time

I absolutely love this backpack. Not wheeling around in airports or on the streets, but having my stuff comfortably on the back. It easily contains what I need for 3-4 days business trips including trainers. Well organised and good user experience all around. Durable and good looking.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sturdy with issues

Good looking bag. Very sturdy. I use it mainly for travel. Can fit a week of travel if packed smartly.
Only issues are the straps tend to loosen requiring constant shoulder adjustments. Also, when packed tight, the water bottle slot is difficult to allow any thing over 12 ounces. Lastly, the top slot cannot fit many items you need quickly.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Killer Christmas Present.
on January 11, 2026

Purchased as Christmas gift with appropriate accessories of packing cubes, pouches and totes. Was very well received. Their reciprocal comments being;
Love the straps on all sides for easy carrying/hanging. And ridged internal frame.
The separation of the main pocket is great for organization and makes it easier to find things without emptying the entire main compartment. Like the bold orange interior with the Eclipse color selection. Really good build

Better than expected! (and looks amazing)

I bought this backpack mostly for traveling. However I have used it also for ski-touring and hiking as I haven't took any different backpack for vacation. After few hours I would say all features are useful. Great thing it that it keeps its shape and always looks good. Some reviews says it is heavy. It is, but it comes with all features and ways of opening it. I have used all four sides for access, what is perfect to find exactly what you need. Also it is really comfortable, even more than other outdoor backpacks I have. After 5 hours I haven't feel any discomfort.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible but heavy

I liked the bag, it is huge and it can carry stuff. Thing I didn't like is just the straps that are quite thin and when filled it is a bit unconvertable to wear and the weight of the bag (quite heavy). But I like it and will keep it for years. It has all the bells and whistles that a bag of this caliber needs.
I would recommend this to a friend!
