Best out of 3

I got 3 different bags and kept this one. After 2.5 weeks in Turkey and Greece hostels, I'm still satisfied. It beat out Minaal and AER's offeings.
Now... things I'd like to see added that'd make it perfect (yeah yeah... subjective) instead of only excellent.
1. Two compression straps. These can be put on the sides so they're not on the organization flap.
2. Velcro cargo netting/mesh. The sides could be the fuzzy part and the cargo net/mesh parts having the hooks. (basically, I'd rather pay for those than the compression bags. I can roll up the small amount of clothing to be pretty much flat against the inside of the bag, compressed with the straps, and netted in with the velcro mesh. Then I have tons of room. I could even use some velcro straps to strap stuff to the sides inside, like my Sonicare holder that's too big for all the toiletry kits.
3. Zippers in the 2 side small organization pouches beside the pen holder types.
4. Two more of those same pouches somewhere in there.
5. Stronger snaps for the 2 snaps reducing it to 30 liters.
6. The lashing points could be maybe made of a stronger material that doesn't fray (only one barely frayed after heavy use).

My Favourite Travel "Must Have"!!

My favourite "Must Have" item whenever I travel.
Wish it could be "more" Scratch-Proof. Love the bag so much that I want it feel brand new all the times.

Well organized travel pack with plenty of space!

I bought this travel backpack a month or I had it overseas and it was perfect on both the airplane and at my destination. There are multiple storage compartments and so many access panels allowing access from different directions. You never need to dig through your items to get to the item you’re looking for. It was amazing how much I could fit in here and still get the backpack under the seat in front of me during takeoff and landing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One backpack travel is easy now!

Very comfortable and capacious backpack.
Is’s easy to place all stuff for 2-weeks travel in it. Really like the feature with fast-access belt for easier carry. And ecosystem with all side accessories add ability to create full setup.

Just great! (Really.)

I have a thing for searching for the best backpacks, duffels, etc. The Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L hits about every mark. Peak's quality is always excellent, this backpack is no exception. Everything works smoothly as the way it is supposed to work. The looks are those of a premium piece of luggage while still looking rugged and functional. I own a few PD pieces and, without exception, I'd recommend PD to anyone.

Actually perfect
on January 29, 2022
Posted by: Geo
from Toronto
This is exactly what I was looking for. A sturdy, functional backpack that is also understated and elegant. Perfect for city business settings and for outdoor adventures. All the features are just as advertised. A bit pricey, and I wish the accessories like the cubes and the toiletry case had a lower price range, but I’m pretty confident the quality is top-notch and hopefully long-lasting.
I would recommend this to a friend!

beautiful bag let down by the straps
on February 20, 2022
Posted by: Skye
from Lloydminster Alberta
I love the sturdiness of this bag, it is heavy but most good camera oriented bags are. The supports in the bag itself are well thought out and makes loading the bag easy. There are a good amount of pockets with lots of easy access points. I don't use side access so I have the side zippers locked in the main compartment, thanks PD for thinking about this security feature. I have been trying to use this bag for most trips for the last few years, restrictions really cut down on where I could go. But this is not a bag that you want to wear as a backpack. I carry it around like a duffle bag 90% of the time because the shoulder straps are not comfortable at all anything over 10 lbs will start the straps digging painfully into your shoulders because of limited padding and poor bag stabilization. If the straps had more padding, load lifters to stabilize the straps and hip belt stabilizers it would be a different story. Or if the bag just had wider straps similar to the shimoda backpacks it would probably be my favorite bag.
With a travel backpack V2 please take some tie to look at other camera backpack manufactures like shimoda or hiking bag companies like Osprey for a better harness system and improve the straps so we can use this bag to actually carry equipment.
