Bought two of these backpack for our European trip last week. It serves its purpose as an airline carry on, walking up/down the stairs of a subway station and walking in cobblestone. It was just kinda heavy for me with my stuff in it but my husband didn't have any problem with his.
I bought this bag a couple of weeks ago and so far I'm not disappointed at all. The materials and overall build quality seems and feels durable. Even if it's a rather big backpack, it is quite comfortable. The only area of improvement would the sternum strap. A magnetic one would have been more user friendly.
Best Travel backpack you could buy. It has so many features that it can adapt to any kinda travel you do. I don't have much more to say about it, it's simply a 10/10 backpack.
I was looking for a spaceous backpack with smart features and the Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L was the only one which ticked all the boxes. Great quality and smart features!
Return to Office when one has moved to the country had created a whole new problem set for me. How to carry around luggage for a 2 night stay every week. At first I used my draggable wheelie bag - after a few weeks of clipped ankles and much frustration at navigating pedestrian curbs, and the noise of dragging it around, I gave up.
Luckily someone recommended Peak Design and I won't look back. First and foremost, I am 170cm female, and the 45L is SUPER comfortable. The Peak people have clearly put the user first when designing this. It has all the zips and access to compartments you need. It has straps EVERYWHERE so whatever position it's in, it can be picked up. It also stands upright so no dramas when on the tube or train worrying whether if you let go, will it fall on someone. It's got heaps of compartments - perfect for gym gear. I love the small zip pouch on the outside - easy to access headphones, keys etc. It also looks great. If it came in leopard print I'd give it 6 stars ;-)
I recently picked up the Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack for a 12-day trip to Japan, along with the small and medium packing cubes. Initially, I had concerns about departing from traditional rolling luggage, but I swiftly discovered that the backpack format outshines rolling options in most scenarios, barring perhaps well-tiled airports. Even then, the convenience remains negligible. Maneuvering through Tokyo's bustling streets was a breeze, and the backpack's carry-on dimensions allowed it to fit snugly above most train seats.
The backpack's organization is a standout feature, offering an abundance of pockets for all your essentials. The dual-access design, enabling both front and back entry, ensures quick and hassle-free access to your belongings. In terms of space, I effortlessly accommodated all my necessities for the 12 days, including a range of clothing from casual wear to a suit and shoes. Remarkably, there was even room for a sizeable martial arts uniform, which is quite bulky. To optimize space, the packing cubes are a must-have. They proved astonishingly capacious, and the ingenious compression zipper condensed everything perfectly within the bag's confines.
The backpack's craftsmanship is top-notch. The zippers exude durability while maintaining a smooth glide, and the materials demonstrate robustness. Despite consistent use, the backpack's appearance retains its contemporary charm.
In conclusion, my experience with the Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack was overwhelmingly positive. It surpassed my expectations with its backpack convenience, adept organization, spaciousness, and unwavering durability. The backpack's performance in real-world scenarios like Tokyo's busy streets and trains underscores its practicality. If you’re looking to up your minimalist travel game with a new backpack type carryon look no further.
I spent a lot of time checking out different types of bags to use for photography. I travel a lot and needed to get a new bag for a job out of state. This bag is durable, spacious, had all the pockets you need and more. I was split between 3 different bags but I'm definitely glad I got this one. I purchased the camera sectional with this bag (used) and it works great. Enough space for 2 cameras, a couple of lenses, and I was also surprised how easy my 70-200 EF lens was able to fit with no problem. I'd recommend this bag any day and use it all the time!
