45L Travel Backpack after 5+ years
on December 12, 2025
Posted by: kdf2401
from Denver, Colorado
One of my all time favorite pieces of gear. It's extremely versatile. I've used it on weekend trips, as well as month long international trips. The backpack held up great over 5+ years of heavy use. I finally had an issue with a zipper, filed a warranty claim, and PD sent a new bag right away. Incredible product and company.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Build like a tank but small improvement are needed
on December 1, 2025
Posted by: Jesus
from Colorado
I love this backpack built like a tank. My first major issue is the side water bottles pockets are too tight and small. I ended up dropping and loosing my 32oz nalgene water bottle. The water bottle pockets need to be larger and deeper. My second Issue is the bottom pouch that uses magnets, peak design needs to add a zipper instead. My third is just a more of a modification. That said, I would love for the small top pocket to be deeper.
Over all I would recommend this to my friends and family. Peak design fix these issues and you will have a customer for life.

Great backpack made in USA
on November 26, 2025

Great design and excellent build quality. I picked up the 45L Travel Backpack in Coyote, and it’s both roomy and incredibly versatile. This is actually my second Peak Design bag . I’ve been a big fan of the Everyday Backpack too. One thing I’m still unclear about: the Coyote version is advertised as “made in the USA,” but the tag on mine says “Made in Vietnam.”

Well designed backpack

Bought the 30L travel backpack without hesitation, as everything this company makes is of the highest quality. This pack is perfect for weekend trips, or as a personal item for your flight.

Fantastic Backpack!

I have used my 45L travel backpack a few times since I bought it and this is no doubt the most well-made backpack I’ve ever owned! It is a well thought out product as all Peak Design items are. I bundled a large camera cube for my photo gear and it works great for easy access and storage!

45L Peak Backpack
on November 5, 2025

Bought the 45L bag to use a functional carry on with travel as well as an everyday work backpack to carry my laptop, electronics, and a change of clothes. It does everything I need in a backpack. Pretty reasonably priced, and I highly recommend.

Amazing bag with Wanted Updates
on November 1, 2025
Posted by: Gonzalez
from Colorado
I bought this mainly as backpack for college. The added benefits were for weekend National Guard drills and short trips. This backpack is perfect for the way I organize and the amount of items I pack. The travel backpack was a bit uncomfortable the first two days for me but once I got used to it, it was comfortable for my body frame. My weight is 170lb, height 5'7, and male.
My 3 main issues with the bag.
1st most important needed update. The two water bottle pockets are too tight and small when you fill up the bag to be able to fit 32oz nalgene or yeti water bottles. I ended up losing my nalgene do to this.
2nd the top small front pocket has perfect organization for me but I wish it was a bit deeper.
3rd the bottom magnetic pouch could of be a amazing storage addition but I don't feel secure in trusting the magnets. Peak designs needs to add a zipper in this pouch.

Still the best - BUT
on October 29, 2025
Posted by: lungchin
this has been my global travel backpack for close to 7 years - i still have not found a better travel backpack - it has so many well designed feature - esp how the shoulder straps can be hidden for when i have to check it in or
have it in duffel mode - and how it can expand with an additional 10L - BUT i wish PD would launch a simplified version of this - lighter, less features
I dont need the side loading - i wish it was a side hinge clamshell - vs the floppy flap, where things fall out if i didnt zip the stioage compartemts - and i wish the laptop compartment was not also an oppening flap, where laptop can slide out when not secured w velcor tab - i also dont need redundant entry point - needs better, dedicated storage for glasses, airpods, cables, chargers - essentially i'd like the PD duffel with proper backpack straps and a laptop compartment
