So far, best small suitcase I’ve ever owned. I received it in late August and then went on a two-week road trip to the US SW followed shortly by three weeks in Europe. Neither trip was a one bag trip, but the Peak Design was my primary bag for both. For the flights it was my carry-on and for the car travel in both US and Europe it was my single take-in bag for short hotel stays. Even for longer stays it was a base station. The size, organization and opening style makes it a perfect place to keep valuables, devices and other important items, as well as toiletries and enough clothes for a couple nights. It handled well moving through airports, loading in overhead compartments or navigating tight spaces in some European hotels. If anything it moves too easily as I found out a couple times when setting it down on a slope and having to chase after it. The lid compartment easily handled a 14” MacBook Pro or 13” iPad Pro with keyboard case. Overall I’ve had no issues with the case or support. I got a second one for my wife.
I got this thru the kickstarter campaign. The bag is well designed and I like the vertical opening. It’s international carryon sized tho which makes it pretty small for my stuff. The carbon fiber one-piece handle is great and very nimble albeit a little short for taller folks
I have used it for 2 trips since I only got it a couple of weeks ago, but I totally love it. The design is super smart: the handle, the main opening, the laptop compartment… are so much better than what you can find in the market. The only thing that I am not so sure about are the wheels: they do not look as sturdy as I expected. Have not had any issue with them, it is just their look and feel.
Best carry-on I have ever owned! The design, finish quality and functionality of this bag are industry leading without question. I've read other reviews. For the low ones, I think you got a bad build, sorry to say. My bag is flawless. I've now used it on 10 trips, given it a proper bit of roughing up in the course of my trips, and this bag still performs and looks great! It even fit (somehow) in the overhead bin of a CRJ, and those are notoriously small. I've been approached by other road warriors in the TSA line who, like me, are always seeing what other people travel with. They are curious and I'm happy to explain some of the great features of this bag. I still own several B&R bags, but I'm pleasantly stunned how amazingly right Peak Design got it with their first bag.
I bought this off Kickstarter. Arrived 2 days before my trip. Perfect timing. Suitcase itself is on the heavier side so had to buy extra carry on allowance. Incredibly spacious internals. Love that it doesn't open like a book, the main compartment opening is so genius. Handle and wheels were so smooth, hopefully it stays as long as possible.
