Peak Design Nails It Again!
on July 26, 2025
Posted by: Island Jim
After following the build-up and advertising of this carry-on, I was expecting an exceptional product and I received it. It is handsome to look at and extremely functional. The roller system is the best I've experienced, and the trolley is really a dream and works like "butta." Truly no "slop" just like you promised. Love the tensioned drawbridge hinge. It's obvious that you put this bag through all the tests and it passed with flying colors. The bad news? It was a birthday gift for my wife, and she is too attached to her 30-yr old Hartmann to accept it. Ouch! I'll be buying this gem in the future for me!!!
This bag is ART. It is precision engineering pared with graceful aesthetics, and I’m obsessed with it. Touching and using the bag creates joy…what else can you ask for? It spins live a dancer, light and nimble. The layout is structured to hold everything you want, just where you want and can access it. It’s a travel dream, for short trips and for travel around town.
I backed this on Kickstarter and was among the first to get my hands on it. I've been a longtime fan of Peak Design; I've owned their backpacks, straps, packing cubes, pouches… you name it. This roller is no exception to their high standards. It’s thoughtfully designed and built with the same premium quality I’ve come to expect from the brand.
I honestly don’t know how I lived so long with a traditional clamshell-style suitcase. The way this one opens is a game changer. No more trying to figure out which side to pack what, or dealing with bulky items that don’t quite fit either side. With one large compartment, packing is straightforward. It just works.
My only minor complaint is the drawbridge system. The hooks that hold the tension strings can sometimes get in the way when opening the roller, which occasionally causes the zipper to snag. Similarly, when closing, the strings often end up on the outside and need to be manually tucked in to avoid catching in the zipper. It’s a small annoyance, but worth noting.
Overall, I can’t recommend the Roller Pro enough. After just one trip with it, my wife finally understood why I spent so much on the Roller Pro.
Never had anything I didn't love from Peak - this included. Great pockets, thoughtful proportions, the handle feels a little slight but I'll check back in after I get a trip out of it.
As expected after much anticipation, this carry-on spinner is THE BOMB! Beautiful color and appearance. The wheels on tile and hardwood floors were the softest and most responsive ride I have ever experienced. Last but not least, the trolley assembly was EXACTLY as advertised. Not one iota of "slop" and a very firm & comfortable handle. Now the bad news; this was a birthday gift for my wife, and it didn't go well. She has chosen to stick with her 35-year-old, beat-up soft-side Hartmann. Go figure, right? Hense, I was unable to test drive this Roller Pro on a flight. I am in the "return" process now but as soon as the dust settles, I will be buying the same product for myself. I hope there are some left.
I bought the roller pro as my main luggage for a trip to Portugal. The bag was able to fit a weeks worth of clothes, a pair of shoes, and toiletries. It easily maneuvered through airports with ease. When I was forced to check the luggage at the gate because of the small overhead bin space of small aircraft, it survived the baggage handling in the cargo hold. I’m also a big fan of the drawbridge design as it allowed accessing the contents very easily.
