Perfect backpack for one-bag trips (which is the reason I mainly bought it). Solid construction and quality materials. It gives you confidence that your things are protected.
The only real downside is comfort. If it's full and you have it on your back and you walk a couple of kilometers or just wear it for an hour or more, it starts to get really uncomfortable.
ok look, this is my first travel backpack and it honestly rocks. Great organization, so many cool features that I will probably never use, but this bag makes me feel like I can take on any multiday trip somewhere. The laptop flag is spacious, but a little flimsy weird at times. Other than that, this is a solid bag that I will use. If you are looking for something that is a 1-2 day type of bag, I would recommend the duffle.
Have had this backpack for a couple of months now & each time I use it I find more features. I’ve wanted a dedicated camera backpack for some time now & this backpack combined with the additional camera cube certainly lives up to all the hype. Even with a medium camera cube inside I’ve still got lots of room both inside & outside for all my extras that I cart around with me. Fantastic outside pockets for my water bottle & tripod. The best backpack you’ll ever buy.
I got this backpack seeing it's reviews online and on New York Times' Wirecutter. This travel backpack far succeeded my expectations. As a traveling musician I need something for my instruments (I am a trumpet player), pedal board and sometimes an amplifier, depending on the type of music I play and what my commute looks like. The Travel Backpack 45L expands and customizes to my need, allowing me to travel without getting unwanted attention from thieves looking to steal my instrument. I also have an easier time boarding a plane with it's sleek and discreet design. I highly recommend this product to artists who need something out in the field, no matter what your specialization is and I don't think I have to get another backpack ever again. Great work Peak Design!!
I've known about this bag for years now. And finally I have it. It solves so many problems, and it fills a crucial need in my travel arsenal. I'm pretty much set for one bag travel.
I was thinking about buying this backpack over months and months and finally decided to do so for black Friday. Can't wait to use this backpack for my round the world trip in a few months.
