I just completed my first trip with my new Peak Design travel bag. I took the Amtrak from Chicago to El Paso and am now flying back to DC. The travel bag is extremely easy to use, holds my electronics, clothing, and all the necessities of travel. Love this bag and would highly recommend to others.
Long story short: This bag is phenomenal at its job, especially used in connection with the packing cubes. You can't go wrong with this bag. It's easy to carry, fits almost every need, and is extremely durable. If you're on the fence, buy the bag.
I have had this bag for years and it has stood up to the test of time. I use it as a weekender or as a carry on for longer trips. My current system is this bag with the wash pouch, small packing cube, and 2 medium packing cubes. This will hold everything you could need for a weekend getaway. The straps pack away easily and it carries the weight very well. After a long trek, my shoulders are never sore and I can easily access anything I need. The expandable/collapsible feature is a packing life saver. I trust Peak Design with everything they make and this bag is no exception. Do further you a favor and buy this bag!
I love my PD travel backpack. I got the sage color thinking of all the dust and dirt that won't be as visible and to keep the bag cooler when I'm in hotter environment. It is very comfortable and so durable. I've felt very comfortable to put my bag down wherever so I can focus on my shooting. It is easy to clean as well! Having the ability to convert the bag into whatever your excursion requires makes this the perfect bag for me. I love the expandability as well. Many people have also commented that it's a very nice looking bag. The company speaks for itself with their products. It's like walking with an advertisement due to just passing inquiries. Highly recommend this bag and the packing cubes!
My last Backback! But for sure not my last Peak Design gear!

Absolutely satisfied with this fantastic Backpack and also the Peak Design Team! This will be my last Backpack in my life, but not the last Peak Design gear!
I travel for work (professional contractor) roughly 3 weeks out of the month and depend on great travel gear. I need something that can hold up to 5+ days of clothes, some camera gear (drone & action cameras), and ready for different weather climates. I originally backed another Kickstarter campaign while my colleague went with Peak. Long story short, I made a mistake. I've since corrected the mistake by purchasing the 45l backpack, 10l sling, compression bags, camera bag, and shoe pouch. Everything is built perfectly to accommodate all of the accessories. My current set-up provides me everything I need while jumping from plane to plane, taxi to taxi, hotel to hotel. In the 45l there are a ton of pouches for whatever you need and they do not impede the main portion of the bag. I love the metal/aluminum frame too, keeps a half filled bag from appearing slouchy on your back. What's also great about the 45l is that you can slim it down which is perfect when I am hitting a projects after checking out of a hotel and don't want the hassle of a large bag (assuming I do not need the extra space). I watch many videos before committing to Peak and boy have my expectation been met, actually exceeded. I am looking at the wash and tech pouch next but gotta save some $$ first haha.
Loving my new 45L travel backpack. It's durable and extremely practical, as the amount of storage compartments and expansion options are countless. I have place for everything from small items, to phone and laptop chargers, to a dedicated iPad and laptop sleeve, to expansion options to give the bag more volume when I'm going on a little bit longer of a trip than a weekend trip. I use this bad almost every weekend and keep it close by so I can grab it and go! It's even better when you have packing cubes for organization, the shoe pouch, and bag for your toiletries, all which fit perfectly inside.
