This bag doesn't working for me. The straps...UGH.
on August 26, 2024
Posted by: KevinS
from Pembroke Pines, FL
I’ve been using the Peak Travel Backpack 45L for 15 months, and while I love many aspects of it, I’ve encountered some significant issues with the straps that have unfortunately led me to consider other options.
As a basketball referee who travels frequently by train, plane, and automobile, I need a bag that’s not only functional but also comfortable for extended wear. I’ve adopted a minimalist packing style to avoid checking my bag, and the Peak Travel Backpack 45L seemed perfect for this. The large compartment, with its customizable organization and ability to separate areas, has been ideal for carrying my referee uniform (jersey, pants, jacket, socks, and dry-fit undergarments), officiating sneakers, an extra set of clothes, toiletries, an iPad, and a tech bag.
However, after a few months of use, I noticed discomfort in my shoulders. The shoulder straps started digging in, and even though I purchased an additional detachable shoulder padding to help, the problem persisted. The bag never felt quite right on my back. I also found that the waist strap was too flimsy and didn’t offer the support needed to transfer the load off my shoulders and onto my hips, where it belongs. This lack of support has been particularly challenging during long walks through airports or extended periods of wear.
Given how much I travel and the importance of keeping my gear organized and accessible, it’s disappointing that the comfort level doesn’t match the excellent design. Redesigning the shoulder straps to include more padding, ergonomic shaping, and a more robust waist strap could make this bag much more comfortable for users like myself who carry it for long periods.
I genuinely love this bag’s features, but the physical discomfort it causes is something I can’t overlook. I hope Peak Design will consider these changes in future iterations, as they would significantly enhance the usability of an already well-thought-out travel backpack.

I bought this product sometime back and took it for my solo trip to Uganda, February of this year. It is such a robust sturdy bag, sits well on the shoulders, comfortable across the back and a good fit for my camera and daily use

Just the Right Mix of Everything
on September 6, 2024
Posted by: reofinadv
After much online research and several "in-home trials" the 45L was the clear winner. The overall design is incredibly thoughtful and suited to real-world use. It is just the right blend of functionality, size, style, quality, and adaptability. I also appreciated that PD offers the full suite of accessories and support products to complete the perfect one bag system. Their online videos are incredibly helpful and really helped me understand and utilize all of the features of the bag.

Highly recommend this bag. After researching loads of other travel backpacks, this one checked all my boxes. The quality is top notch. At first I thought the price was steep but you pay for what you get. I plan to write another review after our Italy trip for 2 weeks. Stay tuned..
