This backpack is the perfect system to travel without a trolley. I bought also the cubes and this is in another level to travel efficiently. BTW incredible the quality of the materials and the design, my next buy will be the 45L backpack.
I bought this bag for the snowboard season to pack my clothes and some gear (helmet, goggles, gloves etc) and it has been perfect. I wouldn't have been able to pack all of this in a carry on suitcase.
Flexible size, great construction, easy to wear since I can switch between holding it or wearing it as a backpack. Would highly recommend!
Have tried many bags and backpacks when traveling. I like the duffel style bag since it's the easiest way to reach everything in the bag. Have used the Travel duffelpack for 2+ weeks trips and I'm amazed! It fits everything expanded and the the expansion is great for when picking up more stuff during your trip. The bag sits really comfortable on you back, e specialty when full loaded and heavy (15 kg). With the hip straps it's no problem to travel all day fully packed, it's great! Combined with the packing cubes or other organizers this is just a great bag to travel with when you are on the move. It feels durable and you can throw it around but you never fell worried about your stuff. Doesn't pick up much dirt since it has a very clean surface.
This bag does exactly what it's supposed to, and it looks good doing it! Really easy to access the interior, solid zippers and material and most importantly its easy to wear around all day, fully loaded. Sits comfortably on shoulders and back (I'm 6' 200lbs, broad torso) without throwing off my center of gravity.
I definitely recommend this bag for backpackers and business trips. The black shows dirt immediately, so if you're planning on checking the bag on an airplane, or stowing it under a bus; get a travel/rain cover for the bag, or go with the green ( we got that one too, it's still sleek).
Unlike a lot of products/companies in this segment, these bags are totally legit. The design, construction, and quality of materials are superior to most other bags I've tried. The extra features are actually functional and not gimmicks. I bought this and the 45L travel backpack and both work perfectly for me. I don't really have any negatives with this one. Also don't sleep on the packing cubes, they're awesome.
Unlike most people, I didn't buy the Duffelpack for my camera gear but rather as a travel bag for everything BUT camera gear. I also purchased two medium packing cubes, a tech pouch, wash pouch, and shoe pouch. It's now pre-loaded with 5 days worth of clothes and gear so when my wife says "let's go somewhere" all I have to do is grab the Duffelpack and go! First off, I was worried it would be too big, it turns out that it's the perfect size. What I love even more is that it expands, I almost always seem to come home with more than I took leaving. Here's what I love:
Size: Yes, it matters; even when packed with two medium packing cubes, a tech pouch, wash pouch, and shoe pouch, there's still room for other a few things when unexpanded. Open the bottom zippers, expand to 65L, and you've got more space should pick up stuff along the way.
Practical Pockets: Two roomy external pockets, with anti-theft built in, right at the top where you need them. Open the bag, two more on the inside. All in addition to the large interior!
Carry Options: Handles in every place you would hope to grab, not only carries as a backpack as well but does an excellent job of it. The backpack straps are nearly invisible till you need them.
Build Quality: Unbelievably tough and light! Everything I've come to expect from PD!
There are no drawbacks to this bag for me. Like every piece of PD gear, this bag will last and be with me for years! It is literally the best bag I've ever owned!
This is my second Peak Design bag, and both are exceptionally designed, manufactured, and very well thought out in terms of actual production use. This one in particular is extremely flexible because you can put different camera, tech, or travel pouches in it. With the right combo of pouches, you'll be able to hold all your precious camera gear. Also, the zippers are super durable, which is a big deal for daily use. Highly recommend this bag!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first opened this pack I didn't realize the amount of space there was with the extenders. It is deceptively small seeming like it won't fit so much but then it loaded my entire wardrobe and then some. I have some other duffel bags and this one is by far the highest quality. You can tell by the metal adjusters it can carry a ton of weight and holds close to the body like a climbing bag. My sole issue with this bag is it's considered a "duffel" and I really wanted to have a shoulder sling that I can attach and carry with it. I was going to use my own sling but the only places it wold connect aren't reinforced enough. I do highly recommend getting packing organizers for this pack though as it doesn't help too much in terms of organizing internally. Overall +++A for anyone looking for a great moderate and stylish travel backpack.
