A dream come true
on August 1, 2025
Posted by: Lyza
from Kailua Kona, HI
I bought a bag this past spring in preparation for summer travel and I am SO glad I did. I love this backpack! It's the backpack I want to travel everywhere with! Its color is easily recognizable, its features are incredibly helpful, and it fits all the stuff I need in a carry-on. I love the security features and the different compartments in the bag. It is, as advertised, easy to access from the sides and from the back. And, it's incredibly high quality. Thank you for making such an excellent travel backpack.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Travel Bag
on August 21, 2025

I bought this 45L backpack in September 2019 and took it with me to Kenya for a 5 day safari trip. It fit my 100-400mm Fuji lens plus my other camera gear and the rest of recommended safari trip packing list to Masai Mara. The recommended weight is 33 lbs and had to be soft-sided for a bush plane. This bag was everything I expected it to be. It's been my companion on my trips all over Europe and Asia. It's still holding up pretty well.

Love this pack but hate the water bottle packets
on August 24, 2025

I love this backpack, it has become my daily commuter pack and also a work trip pack. My only real complaint is the water bottle pocket. I can cram a Nalgene into them but it requires for too much effort and if the pack is full to any degree it becomes impossible. If the pockets were a stretch material or just simply expanded further this backpack would be 6/5 perfection!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Zipper heaven

Always seem to overpack when traveling, both for business and pleasure. Since purchasing the 45L Travel Backpack, I’ve found it difficult to choose any other type of bag or luggage for my trips. No need to check bags during flights. The biggest advantage, and what I really appreciate most, besides the flexibility of the Travel Backpack, are the zippers. After 2.5 years of constant travel, daily use, and frequent overpacking, the zippers still hold up excellently.

THE Best Travel Backpack
on September 11, 2025
Posted by: belleabby
from New York, NY
Bought the 45L Travel Backpack in Coyote before a 2 week trip in Europe. I have since packed it with new sweaters, jeans, gifts, etc. and the bag still manages to fit everything without the expander. Pockets are extremely well organized and accessible. This is THE best travel backpack. And a lifetime warranty makes the product 100% worth it for the price and quality design. Doesn’t hurt my back too and I am a thin woman with lots of stuff!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect

Perfect, the 30L model just didn't have enough space. The 45L is excellent, with the side access, the extra pockets, and more comfortable straps. It's the best!

Still the best - BUT
on October 29, 2025
Posted by: lungchin
this has been my global travel backpack for close to 7 years - i still have not found a better travel backpack - it has so many well designed feature - esp how the shoulder straps can be hidden for when i have to check it in or
have it in duffel mode - and how it can expand with an additional 10L - BUT i wish PD would launch a simplified version of this - lighter, less features
I dont need the side loading - i wish it was a side hinge clamshell - vs the floppy flap, where things fall out if i didnt zip the stioage compartemts - and i wish the laptop compartment was not also an oppening flap, where laptop can slide out when not secured w velcor tab - i also dont need redundant entry point - needs better, dedicated storage for glasses, airpods, cables, chargers - essentially i'd like the PD duffel with proper backpack straps and a laptop compartment
