Finally a TRUE efficient and smart travel backpack!
on November 18, 2019
Posted by: Nik
I travel a lot for work and leisure. I also like to go backpacking and am into photography. I've been a big fan of Peak Design gear over the years with their straps, capture clip and slings. I was looking for a backpack where I can carry my laptop for working remotely and that also allows me to carry personal gear to explore a new city. This backpack fits the bill perfectly. The smart innovative design with the expansion up to 45L is AMAZING. I can use it for a day trip, weekend trip, a multi-day trip. The features of this backpack are also worth noting. Easy access to gear and laptop. The front panel is great for quick access. The water bottle/tripad sleeve on the side is very spacious. I love this backpack. It is one backpack that can be used for all of my various different travel purposes. I used to have a day pack, 65L backpack, laptop bag, camera bag and all of these are combined into the Travel Backpack from PD. The travel pouches and packing cubes are pretty awesome as well. Very well built and very well thought out product with common sense in mind. Thank you PD!

Wow!

I've had other bags that promised much but did not live up to those promises. Peak Design is understated but delivers. Love the clean, simple design of the Travel Backpack, as well as the well thought out layout and pockets. And the quality and workmanship is great. They really knocked this one out of the park. Using it right now in Japan as I'm writing this!

Wonderful travel bag
on November 16, 2019

Bought the sage green.The storage capabilities and well built makes this bag simply wonderful to use. Could pack everything in, including a weeks travel of clothes and small camera cube.
With the waist and chest strap. it was easy to carry as it helped distribute the weight.
Only drawback I find is the weight of the bag. It weights quite a bit (empty) - with a full load it adds up quickly and can be heavy.

This is best bag in I had many bags.
Because this is variable and become big size.
But there is one of improve point.
It has wrinkle at variable point when I change bag size.
Other than that is very good.
Thank you Peak design.

Extreme happy with this bag. Same with all the other PD products that I have. Currently waiting for the carbon fibre tripod. Sure the quality will keep up with all previous products. Keep up the good work guys... will support all your products.

So Far So Good
on November 8, 2019
Posted by: Derek
I haven't had a big trip yet to test the limits of this bag, however, so far so good. I use this to tote around a change of clothes and all my DnD books (yeah I'm a nerd, want to fight about?). The separate compartments are great for keeping my dirty work clothes away from my books and dice trays. I pretty much use this as larger everyday bag, and it works great for my needs.
If you plan on folding up the divider to make larger cargo space, things get a little tedious because you have have to open both sections on either side (front/back) to do so. (At least I find myself doing that) Overall, I enjoy the bag and it fits my needs. Just as comfy as the everyday backpack as well. The tedious zipper for the separating sections is the only negative thing I have to say about this bag.

Needs a few tweaks
on November 8, 2019
Posted by: John
Overall good design but for travel it seems heavy. On mine the internal snaps to compress the top will not snap together so I'll be returning soon for warranty replacement and look forward to a pack with this feature functioning. The straps could use more padding as many have suggested but then they might not store away. Some internal & or external compression straps could help decrease the overall bulk to improve storage in plane/train/bus overhead bins and keep load stable.

Beef up shoulder straps
on November 7, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I thought these bags were designed for photographers by photographers, I don't know what feather light equipment they put in it (maybe a point and shoot pocket camera), but when I put my Nikon FX set in it the shoulder straps dig in after a few minutes. I believe most photographers have equipment like mine as a posed to a pockets camera that they can put in there shirt pockets. PD fix the problem already there are a lot of reviews pointing this out once you start checking.
