Purchased a month ago. I can use it for everyday use in its 35l form or when I travel expand it to 45l. I don't have to have two backpacks this one covers it all.
My wife and I purchased two of these amazing packs for a two week trip to five Italian cities. We had no problems moving from trains, taxis, Ubers, boats, you named it we made it work. With new laundromats visits we maintained clean clothing for the entire trip.
Excellent pack for travelling or even in the city. Only downside is that the versatility and durability comes at the cost of weight. Sage color ages much better than black.
My son asked for a backpack that would qualify as a carry on but with more capacity than most. He loves the 45 L product and has used it several times already. Well planned and sturdy. Delivery was swift! Thanks!
I bought this for a 1-month trip to Europe in December. With the current state of the Airlines and the fact we were traveling at peak time, I was concerned that I may never see my luggage again. After a lot of research on the web, I invested in the PD Travel bag and packing cube system. We traveled through Italy, Turkey, and Spain and not having to check a bag was amazing. I even came back thinking of things I would reduce for our next trip. The bag performed well beyond my expectations, the features where more convenient than I thought they would be and the quality of construction was exceptional. All the storage pockets and handles where well thought out. I was happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this bag.
The modular design and utility of this pack are excellent. Well placed pockets, reinforced zippers and the ability to accept camera cubes make the interior a very capable travel companion. It fits easily into overhead bins on most aircraft too.
Unfortunately the thin shoulder straps take away from the overall experience - especially when fully loaded, which this pack is totally capable of being.
A slightly larger shoulder strap with better padding and anti-slip would be a very welcome upgrade to what’s otherwise a stellar design.
Peak Design has thought of everything in designing the 45L backpack! It has a place for everything, easy to access a camera cube frame the side zipper, and even when jam packed it’s comfortable to carry. Extremely well made with top quality materials
I recently traveled to the islands of Thailand and this bag made it so easy. I was able to pack everything I needed in its incredible storage space. Accessing things on the fly was super easy with all the access ports. The quality of the bag is great. It was able to handle beaches, jungle trails, boat rides and hotels. This is my new favorite travel companion.
