Streamline Travel
on August 8, 2022

I bought this travel pack on the recommendation of a friend who did a lot of research. She was right! The pack can hold much, but is small enough to fit under an airplane seat. Because it’s a backpack, running through airports is possible, but it opens up like a suitcase so I’m not digging to the bottom for that one item I need. It’s great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fits a lot and good internal design

I got this for an upcoming trip as one that can fit in the seat in front of me for flights, and as a smaller one to my f-stop gear 40L backpack. The backpack does fit a lot and has a nice design. The side pockets are a bit small for fitting my travel tripod, and the back magnets are quite weak, if they were a bit stronger, it could be a bit more useful pocket for some light things. Quite comfortable with a lot of gear.

Nice pack but too few access points

Overall its a nice pack. Smaller than I anticipated and with only one access point to the main compartment. I expected more as the 40 litre pack has. Overall no practical for me gave it away after one trip due lack functionality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for one-bagging

I recently purchased this before a week long trip to Florida. I wanted to be able to fit everything in just one backpack that could work as my personal item on a flight. I was able to fit 7 shirts, 7 underwear, 5 socks, 1 jeans, 2 shorts, a pair of shoes, and my laptop and other misc items. Everything fit easily while keeping a very small footprint overall.

I like it a lot, but

Over my last 20 years of traveling abroad, I've purchased many travel backpacks in search of perfection. The Peak Design Travel Backpack is almost there. It's nearly perfect. The design of the shoulder straps is the best I've encountered. It is solidly built and feels comfortable to wear. The only three things I would wish for would be more outside pockets (when sitting in the airport, I don't like opening my whole bag to pull out my mobile hotspot) but mainly, I wish there was outside access for my laptop. When I'm in the TSA line, I don't want to open the main compartment to pull out my laptop. And thirdly, I wish it had a sleeve rather than just a strap to slide over the handle of my roller suitcase. If these issues are not a problem for you, then I'd highly recommend this backpack.

Made Euro Travel a breeze
on July 16, 2022

I recently returned from an 8 Day trip to Europe. I was highly satisfied with the Travel Backpack my onebag for the trip . The back has many carry options, with multiple handle locations and stow-able straps. I found that the Bag fir just fine underneath the seat all Aircraft that a flew on (Embraer 195, 175; Boeing 737-800,; Airbus A330, A321).
I used Eagle Creek packing cubes with this bag as well. (1) Med. Pack-It Garment Folder Packing Organizer and (2) Pack-It Garment Folder Packing Organizer. I did not have a Laptop on this trip. Simply used my mobile for all my internet needs.
I really feel that this bag played a big part in the success of the trip. being able to get right of the plane or train and onto local mass transit, was liberating for sure.
I think that 8 Days may be on the limit for this Bag, however, it really did an impressive job!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Minimalist beautiful design

Took this on a 9 day trip as my carry on for one bag travel. Easily fit all my gear and was comfortable to wear. The design is impeccable. Was deciding between this and the Aer. The aer had great accessory pockets but these came at the price of excessive fabric and size. The peak design is beautiful and useful. I would prefer it to have a larger pocket on the back for quick access, but I chose this over the aer because the aer went overboard in this regard to my tatse
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good quality but not great at comfort
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: Anjie
from Canada
Iam petite at just 5.2 and find this bag extremely uncomfortable. The straps have very poor padding and are very poky at my shoulders especially when the bag is heavy. The weight balance is a little better with the sternum straps. The bags lower end sits quite awkwardly below my coccyx and with regard to this issue I feel it was my fault and I should have been more aware about the dimensions. I have no complaints at all regarding the quality looks and built of the bag.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
