Great travel backpack and can serve double-duty.

My wife and I have two 45L travel backpacks and love them. We have used them on a number of multi-week trips but on a recent trip they served us well by doubling as a multi-day trekking pack. We hiked the Milford Track (4 days), the Routeburn Track (3 days), and the Abel Tasman (2 days) as part of a much longer trip and did not want to bring a second pack specifically for these three treks. The pack carried all we needed (food, sleeping bag, extra layers, pots and stove, tent, water etc.) and was really quite comfortable to carry. I know some people have complained that the shoulder straps were uncomfortable, but we found them to work great and the sternum strap and waist belt were super adjustable allowing us to shift the weight during our walks. The pack allows for great organization and we were able to fit everything easily inside in a compact pack vs. a lot of the much larger packs others used for the tracks that had gear strapped and hung from various points. We also liked the lack of straps etc. hanging out and dangling which is so common with hiking packs.
As it was New Zealand, it did rain on us, and we hade no issues with our gear getting wet. We had just a little wetness near the upper zipper, but I think that is because we did not have the zippers off to the side of the pack one day.
Overall, really impressed with the bag for travel (it's by far the best carry on bag I have ever owned), but also with its ability to be used on shorter treks. My wife and I hike, climb, and travel a lot and she says it is her favorite pack of all time. Thanks for the great gear!
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Backpack That Moves With You

The Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L has been my go-to companion on every adventure, from weekend getaways to month-long trips abroad. I still remember walking through the bustling streets of Istanbul, knowing my camera gear and essentials were perfectly organized and safe thanks to its thoughtful compartments and weatherproof build. The quick-access zippers saved me when I needed my passport at airport security, and the padded straps made those long walks through unfamiliar cities feel effortless. This isn’t just a backpack, it’s the travel partner I didn’t know I needed, one that’s made every journey smoother and every moment easier to enjoy.

My goTo camera bag

This is the best travelbackpack I ever owned. I use it mainly as a camerabag when travelling. Just pop the large cameracube in and off I go. Also used it as a daypack when travelling Japan by train: small cameracube, small packing cube and toiletries bag. And space to spare for still more stuff.
Have lugged it around the world for 8 years and still no signs of wear and tear. And I did pack it with heavy stuff, sometimes 18 kilos of camera equipment. It didn’t blink and eye and kept functioning.
Love love love it

My search may be over......

I've had my eye on this travel backpack for at least a year. I finally bought it as a Christmas gift to myself!! I travel monthly and have tried several packs. This one checks all the boxes and being a smaller woman, the waist belt was a big benefit for a pack this size.

Worth every penny

In fairness I did get it on a Black Friday sale but full price would be worth it too! It is a great looking backpack and the functionality is amazing. You can’t access your packed goods from anywhere. Be sure to watch the video for tips and features. I found things that I didn’t even know existed. It’s very well made, durable materials and has a life time warranty. You don’t find that anymore. I love that it’s fair trade certified too. Great value and a great product.

Very well thought design

Excellent craftmanship, very high quality. Seems sturdy.
Everything is very well thought with a Nice vidéo on youtube to explain tips and features.
I was afraid the 45 l would be too big but the several compressions it allows make is perfectly portable. If not overloaded, would certainly be ça in approved in all the plane companies I ever traveled with.
