The 30L Travel Backpack is a great backpack for both onebag travel and trips to the office - it's now my only backpack.

I'm in love - even after 6weeks in Europe

I brought just this backpack to Europe for 6weeks and I'm never traveling without it again. Pockets for every accessory. Expandable when I wanted to fit gifts for family. Rugged with the waist attachment to do 100 miles around Mont Blanc. Looking cool in stylish cities like Copenhagen. I paired the pack with the large clothes compression bag and the waist belt. I love lay flat opening. The zippers are strong and reliable. The rotating shoulder straps are useful when stowing the bag at a hostel, airplane or car. I always get compliments. As an engineer and designer myself I really appreciate the attention to detail and elegant execution of this bag. I highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice travel bag, but some nits...

I've used this bag for 2-3 day trips, and even bought the small camera cube and optional hip belt. It is very well thought out, and stows under normal airliner seats, mostly. I like the shoulder straps a lot as well. Adding a small camera cube, and I can still use it for an overnight trip. Frankly, I could probably go five days without the cube.
I'm not, however a big fan of the sternum strap and the optional hip belt. Both will work once they are connected, but the non-standard connector means I have to actively look at them to buckle them up. I'm assuming Peak went with their design to make them easier to stow, but there is a useability hit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So good and so lacking

I really wanted to do one more star because i love this bag so much. I tried them all at the store and this one is by far the perfect size and color but it just stands out from literally every other one i looked at (travel and everyday) in its simplicity. I mean this not in the best way. I feel like they just got rid of too much in the shrinking process but the size is perfect. the result is a love/hate that i chose over all the others
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best travel bag for a photographer I've ever used.

I bought this & the smallest duffle to travel by plane for the first time in over a decade. The backpack with the Medium Came Cube was perfect for all the gear I wanted to bring, plus my iPad & some extras. Switching from luggage to camera bag was quick & easy.
I doubt I'll ever use my suitcase again, unless it's for a lot of clothes on an extended trip.

Great Fit & Function
on September 12, 2022

For work, I carry a lot of items, typically daily. For travel, I prefer to travel light. I rely on having a decent and comfortable backpack. The 30L exceeds my expectations on the daily use side. It carries my items very comfortably. It has great weight distribution. The change from a traditional multi-compartment pack to the 30L rear-entry approach took me about 3 days to learn how to organize my stuff. I really appreciate the difference. The smaller top compartment is functional for the items I need quick access to. I use the various handles more than I imagined I would. I really don't see myself going back to a more traditional style backpack.
First use for travel comes next month.
