I have been very happy with this pack. I had previously been using a 45L travel backpack and it was just too big. This 30L bag is the perfect size. The material is well made and I especially love the way it can fit packing cubes. I also like the way the main compartment is accessed via a zipper that allows it to fully open when lying flat.
I bought this a a month ago prior to travelling from UK to Canada and the USA. Used for work / gym / commute (on the days I need a bigger bag), train / carryon air travel and day hikes. I can’t really fault it, you can use all the space available very easily, there’s enough rigidity in the back to hold its shape even when not full and straps and handles seem sufficiently sturdy and comfortable. Some might prefer more pockets and compartments but I prefer the openness and flexibility between the quick access pocket at the top and the main compartment that butterflies open. You can be more strategic how you use that so long you remember what you need is on what side and only open that part. Drinks holder seems very sturdy, never drops. This replaces a Arc’Teryx Mantis that broke and is recommend this one for sure, and feels better made!
The bag looks amazing and feels great. Cary is easy and nice so far. Leaving for big trip to UK in a month. I wish the 30L was exactly like the 45L bag. When I stick in my camera cubes. the pouches are almost useless. I feel that I made a mistake with this bag and should have bought the 45. Live and learn. 30L is all I need but the bag is not anywhere as useful as its big brother.
I have been searching for the perfect business and travel backpack for years and I finally decided to buy this a month ago. Light weight, good quality, cool design and lots of functional storage spaces. I believe 30l is enough for a trip within 4-5 days. Highly recommend.
Bought this bag to serve as multiple travel uses … and fits all of them extremely well. Travel carry-on (can fit 1 x medium packing cube alongside 2 x small packing cubes alongside lots of other small paraphernalia tucked in and around) with lots compartments for documents and items that need to be ‘on hand’ at airport. Love the good-sized and handy bottle storage in both sides, that could easily reach without taking bag off back too. And REALLY love that can unzip and access and see all gear in one go! Rather than having to rummage around blindly from one top or side opening zipper (this is what sold it for me and it didn’t disappoint!) Love the wipe clean fabric which feels super durable and also that the pack felt both secure and non-sweaty on my back. I alos like that it’s a hybrid of not-too-sporty/not too business looking - therefore can adapt if required to both. Have owned several backpacks including Dueter and Fjllraven and this is my best yet. Winner Winner 🥇
I recently purchased the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L, and it has exceeded all my expectations. This backpack is perfect for short trips and daily use, thanks to its expandable capacity from 27L to 33L. The weatherproof 100% recycled nylon canvas ensures durability and protection for my belongings. I love the large rear hatch that makes accessing my items effortless. The padded laptop and tablet sleeves offer excellent protection, and the expandable side pockets are incredibly convenient. The tuck-away shoulder straps are a thoughtful touch, making it versatile for different carrying styles. Plus, the compatibility with Peak Design Packing and Camera Cubes is a game-changer for organizing my gear. Knowing it's Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral makes me feel good about my purchase. This backpack comes with a lifetime guarantee, solidifying it as the best backpack I've ever owned. Highly recommended!
