A Backpack That Moves With You
on December 16, 2024
Posted by: Fatih
from Turkiye
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this backpack 6 weeks ago and the quality is definitely not as good as I expected. Already falling apart

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!

The best backpack, in my opinion! Good in all regards. Can be small, and can be big.

My new work horse

I bought this bag because I travel a fair bit and also needed something to haul my belongings to the office as I was starting to max out the capacity of my everyday messenger bag. Tons of room and many pockets to keep your things organized which makes boarding a plane a breeze: easy access to the laptop/tablet sleeve and I carry a tech pouch in my hands for everything else I might need while flying. Just one minor thing: the coyote brown x-pac fabric has a slight sheen to it (I was expecting something more matte).

My trusted companion

I have had this backpack for six years, and it has been with me on a dozen international trips, many more domestic flights, and car trips. It only shows very minor cosmetic wear. The packing cubes make it easy to keep everything well-organized. I don't miss the days when I had to dig through a bag for a key or a document.

Perfect in almost any way
on December 9, 2024

I absolutely love this backpack in almost every way. It offers so many smart solutions for organizing, packing, and commuting. There are plenty of videos on YouTube showcasing how well it’s built, and all of that is absolutely true. The material feels incredible, and while placing a tripod in the side pockets does stretch it a bit, I’ve never felt like the material would give way.
It’s by far the best backpack I’ve ever owned. That said, it’s a bit small for me, as the waist belt sits a little too high for someone like me—a 1.90m tall guy with broad shoulders.

Just got this and am going on my trip soon. Love how everything adjusts and the ample amount of space that the pack has with a strap to put it on my suitcase
