Awesome bag
on September 5, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I've previously own the Peak Design 20L everyday bag and try to use it for a camera bag and a everyday bag, but it was too small and cramp for all the stuff I have in the bag. When the Travel line announce on kickstarter, I ordered it immediately. This bag is the best bag I've ever use and own, the adjustable size of the bag is super handy and the cubes accessories that compatible with the bag are just amazing.

Travel Backpack and Camera Cubes
on September 9, 2019
Posted by: Scott
I been using the Travel Backpak and Camera Cubes for about 4 weeks now. I have a variety of cubes and backpacks, the Peak Design system is far and above the my favorite, best designed and most highly crafted of anything I've seen on the market. The multi-layer dividers make it the perfect system for mirrorless too - giving you the ability to stack small prime lenses in the case without sacrificing valuable space. The Medium / Small cube combo fits perfectly within the pack leaving just a bit of room at the top for a smaller item like sunglasses.
PRO TIP: I keep a second lens, my 100mm filter kit, remote triggers, batteries and cards, in the small cube. Adding an anchor link to each end, I can attach my Slide Lite and have all of that gear at my disposal once I'm on location.

Great Performance and Build Quality
on September 10, 2019
Posted by: Ric
Travelled internationally for 18 days and the Travel Backpack performed exceptionally. Had too much weight in the checked bag and to avoid the excessive weight charge, I opted to remove the extra weight from the roller bag and add it to the TBP, and check it also. Had no issues when I retrieved it. On the return trip it was loaded with a stuffed med. and sm. packing cube and a load 5L Sling, a rain jacket, some books an iPad, and a portable speaker. It was expanded on the return trip and still had no issues carrying it on the plane. Stood in the CBP checkpoint for. 2 hrs with no issue accept for standing in line for 2 hours. Bag performed very well as did the packing cubes. Great performance and quality. Medium Pcube had 4 pairs of jeans & 4 long sleeve Henley's as a reference. Heavy duty stuff. 5LSling - Mōvi, iPad, Moment wide angle, maker charger, Extra iPhone case, cables and small misc.

Great with a few exceptions
on October 6, 2019
Posted by: Otacon
I purchased the 45L travel backpack, medium packing cube, tech pouch and rain cover for frequent business travel. I have tried many things from messenger and spinner suitcase, to one bag travel and prefer the later immensely. That being said it is not without a few flaws that bother me each trip. I will 100% agree with all other reviews on YouTube, and here that it is a wonderful bag, well designed and constructed with quality materials. I love the storable straps, the lashing straps and rain cover. I has enough organization to be helpful but not overwhelming. But...
• When using the storable straps, it would be nice to be able to remove the waist belt straps. I never use them and they make stowing the shoulder straps a pain.
• The straps are not comfortable at all. Where it around downtown or in the airport all day and you'll feel it very early on. If I could add my FarPoint 40 straps it would be perfect.
• The pack is much heavier than other travel backpacks, noticeably heavier.
• Top strap is hard to grab since it's on the edge of the top. Should be centered.
• The straps are not comfortable at all. Where it around downtown or in the airport all day and you'll feel it very early on. If I could add my FarPoint 40 straps it would be perfect.
• The pack is much heavier than other travel backpacks, noticeably heavier.
• Top strap is hard to grab since it's on the edge of the top. Should be centered.
In conclusion, I think the pack is great and really do like it. I just wanted to add a few real world points that are true for me. If i could get the above addressed, and have the comfort of the Farpoint 40 straps this would be the perfect pack hands down. When I travel for none work, or none flying I always grab the Farpoint 40 as it is way more comfortable to pack around all day.

Best business travel bag I've ever owned!
on October 17, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I travel most weeks for business, usually 2 or 3 nights. I decided to combine my roller bag and backpack into one to make travel easier. I did a lot of research (by a lot, I mean A LOT). I ordered a Nomatic travel pack and sent it back. It's a great bag, but not quite for me (I thought I wanted a lot of pockets but in the end they actually made the bag cumbersome). The Peak Design travel bag is (almost) perfect. I absolutely love this bag! I love how it looks. I love the quality. I love that it can be big, bigger, biggest. I love that it holds so much. I love that the pockets are large and have zippers. I love the side access. I love that my water bottle gets swallowed up by the bag instead of sticking out like a goiter. I love that the shoulder and waist straps hide away behind magnetic closures. Don't believe what others have written -- they are very easy to store!
Why it's not quite perfect: the top handle has minimal padding, so not easy to carry like a briefcase. It's supposed to be a bag that stands up on its own, but I've found that it only does so if I pack it a certain way. The snaps (to compress it to 30L) are difficult to snap. For me, it requires two hands and I have to fumble to get the snaps to line up. HOWEVER, all these "complaints' are very minor and they do not detract from my overall affection for this bag. Yes, I said affection.
By the way, it fit under my seat on my recent Southwest flight. It was pretty maxed out at the 35L size, but no problem!

I ran it over
on December 4, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
After weeks of searching for the perfect travel/camera bag I came across this beast. I'd been using it for a few months and had it loaded with my laptop, clothing, and some other electronics. I got back from a trip and set the bag down leaning on the rear tire of my 4-door Jeep Wrangler, with a few hundred pounds of gear in the back. Without thinking I hoped in the driver seat and started reversing. I went right over a massive bump, and after a clueless second I realized I'd run over my peak design bag. With a few grand worth of gear inside. I ran outside and looked at the bag, which was only slightly deformed. I threw it in the Jeep and opened it, to find my laptop perfectly intact. I turned it on and IT WORKED. The only damage sustained by the bag being ran over by my personal Abrams tank was a slightly bent metal frame rod in the bag, which I managed to bend back. I'm convinced this bag could take a direct hit from a ballistic missile. It is DURABLE. Not to mention if you're in the Navy, it fits perfect inside the rack upside down. Like it's meant for it. Solid deployment bag. 5 stars.

Hands-down the best travel backpack in the market.
on June 19, 2020
Posted by: Ben
I live out of this bag.
I'm a "digital nomad", and travel full-time (by choice -- I work for a company remotely). I carry the Travel Backpack and a Medium Camera Cube with me everywhere I go. It stands up to tough weather (even without using the rain pouch, which has a genius storage and attachment mechanism), and holds everything I need -- passport, ~2 weeks of clothing, toiletries, tech stuff (I carry a lot more than most people, trust me), etc. My camera gear all fits in the medium cube, which I take with me as well -- it gains a strap and is carried on my shoulder while traveling (plane - under the seat), and takes the place of the personal effects in my bag when I arrive at my destination and during my day-to-day.
The ONE thing I'd like to see on the bag is an aluminum frame to help with the weight + counterbalancing. As it is, the TB gets quite heavy if you pack it out (especially with photog gear in it). While the straps are padded well and hold up, the lack of structured support and counterbalancing can weigh on your shoulders and back.
