Not for petite women
on February 26, 2020
Posted by: Julia
I am 5'3" and my biggest issue with the bag is the size. I packed it to the max (45 L, with an item attached with the external straps) and it was way too wide for me to handle. I looked ridiculous and felt like I was going to topple over. I have a 55 L women's backpacking pack and this somehow handles bulk better for me than this travel backpack. The snaps to reduce it to 35 L are difficult to snap together and repeatedly came undone. The waist belt and chest strap work better than I anticipated to reduce shoulder strain, but I was at a light 35 L when using them. At first the material has a lot of static and attracts hair and dust. Overall it is nice but the 45 and 35 L did not work for me and made it cumbersome and inefficient.

Finally found my unicorn bag…

I don’t typically write reviews but after years of travel and searching for my perfect “one bag” travel bags I finally found if in the Peak Design 45L Travel Backpack. Six month and approximately 13 trips ranging from cold to warm weather, business, and adventure trips this bag literally carries it all. This bag is durable, looks amazing, and has just the right amount of capacity and organization to accommodate all kinds of users. I enjoyed this bag so much I purchased the entire travel line and now understand why people rave about Peak Design products so much. Looking forward to many more adventures with this bag.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs a few tweaks
on November 8, 2019

Overall good design but for travel it seems heavy. On mine the internal snaps to compress the top will not snap together so I'll be returning soon for warranty replacement and look forward to a pack with this feature functioning. The straps could use more padding as many have suggested but then they might not store away. Some internal & or external compression straps could help decrease the overall bulk to improve storage in plane/train/bus overhead bins and keep load stable.

Not as expected....
on November 28, 2018
Posted by: Kook Kim
I was really excited for the new backpack from Peak Design. I already had 30L everyday backpack and thought it would be bigger brother version of it. I was wrong. It's using cheaper zippers and it's so hard to use side accesses. Also only one zipper (top) makes it harder to close it after taking out a camera. This is not an easy access backpack anymore, but it's a good travel backpack, which is inferior quality one compared to Everyday backpack. Would not recommend it for a camera backpack, but would recommend it for a travel backpack.

Most Sustainable Camera Backpack in 2023
on February 1, 2023

It is not only a high quality camera backpack, but it is also a functional daily carrier and travel bag. Because of the high quality recycled materials and modular design it gives me the peace of mind knowing that it is a circular and ethical product. With its unique packing system the Travel Backpack is especially useful when it comes to storing my camera gear while I utilise the bag for other purposes, like traveling or hiking. Highly recommend it to digital nomads who are looking for a multi purpose backpack that will last forever.

Peak Design travel backpack 45L and camera cubes
on October 17, 2021
Posted by: Robert
Verified Purchase:Yes
Travel Backpack 45L - Black / 45L Great design. Three things I would add/change: Find a way to add wheels, bc it gets heavy when fully packed w/ clothes. (I am 6’- 3, 220 lbs) Also, the sternum strap needs to be secured so it stays put whenever used. Finally, if you use it with the medium or large camera cubes, add strap loops on the opposite side of the cube, so it can be clipped together with the backpack and accessed better from the main hatch. The current configuration of the strap loops doesn’t work as well as it could.
Overall it is a really great product. I especially like the ability to tuck the backpack shoulder straps away. Works great for airplane travel.

I got the Sage color. Stylish, Great design and material! but find it very bulky and a bit clumsy. Space fills up so quickly than I thought :-(. maybe I'm the only one feeling this way?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Features and build
on November 14, 2024

Overall I really like the backpack and all it's functionalities, particularly it's collapsible nature and straps to add extra gear on top.
A couple of things I would like to see evolve -
1. Although collapsible in width, I would appreciate it if the length could somehow be reduced with a collapsible section at the bottom of the backpack for instance. It still doesn't feel quite like a daypack in it collapsed form.
2. The back straps and waist belt are not the most comfortable when the bag is heavy. Maybe the back panel needs more work.
