Very sleek design

I only have two trips with it so far but my initial impressions are very good. The highlights are the sleek design and high quality feel. My favorite part is the clam shell design.
I love my new Roller Pro! Honestly, I love it so much I briefly considered kicking my husband out of bed so I could fall asleep gazing at its perfect wheels. The wait was long, but worth every second. I was so excited when it arrived that I booked a trip within three days—because how could I not take it out on an adventure?
And adventure we did. Most of the time the wheels were so smooth I had to chase it, instead of dragging it around like other carry-ons. It glides so effortlessly I half expect it to win Olympic figure skating gold.
It’s so functional it actually makes me feel dysfunctional. My old luggage is now sulking in the closet, wondering how it was so easily replaced. I can barely remember life before my Roller, and frankly, trying to think back is just painful.
At PDX waiting to board a flight, a man seated to my right nudged his wife - and referring to my Everyday 20L said, "He has your backpack." Bound for an African safari, hers' was fully loaded with apparel fastened neatly with the strapping system. Her attention passed swiftly to my RollerPro beneath the Everyday backpack: "How do you lite your RollerPro?" She was enthusiastically conversant with the features. talked nonstop about the bag, and reached to feel the texture and the waterproof zippers. She caressed it much as she would a new grandchild.
I won't belabor the features of the bag. This was my Carry-On's maiden flight. The hidden spaces for valuables and cash, access to wallet, credentials and computer (not to mention the full interior) is unparalleled. It is the perfect companion for my 20 or 45L backpack and 65L duffelpack. Deplaning in SFO I recalled prior conversations over our Peak gear with other travelers throughout Asia. This experience of Peak aficionados transcends product satisfaction and loyalty.
This day I had a checked Travelpro rollerbag loaded with stuff for my daughter (the reputed choice in bags of flight crews). That bag's rollers stuck in the elevator gap at SFO. That was a struggle; not the RollerPro with backpack riding on the handle. The Peak RollerPro glided smoothing with ease.
It is a joy to pack, carry and be seen with! Plus -- there seem to be quite a few satisfied Peak family members willing to strike up a friendship wherever strangers abound.
The layout of the bag is nice. I got the camera cube, and it fits very snugly in the case. The camera cube is their first one deep enough to stand up standard every day lenses, instead of laying them on their side and wasting lots of space. It’s a great roller in all ways except one important feature. Where is the luggage pass through handle? I travel full time for work, so I have 2 full size suitcases. I’m going to have to get creative I guess. I’m going to try the gear loops, and included gear straps, but this won’t be as secure as a nice, thick pass through handle.
Good looking functional bag it it fits your needs.

Used this roller for a 13 day European holiday/river cruise. While perhaps a bit small for such a long duration trip it performed very well. The only critiques keeping it from 5 stars, in my opinion: a bit too small, zippers are difficult to move, handle is a bit looser after the trip. I used packing cubes to make maximum use of the somewhat limited space. I will almost certainly add the XL photo insert to use it form my photo gear.
I got this through the Kickstarter and was so excited to use it for my trip to Europe this fall. I usually check my bag, and I'm into minimalist packing. I really wanted this design to solve the problem we've had with small European hotel rooms and my full clamshell bag. The bag is gorgeous, I have no complaints about construction, it is as promised. Just an observation that for use as luggage, the dimensions feel a little off in the main compartment. I use the Peak Design compression packing cubes, and 1 Large and 1 Medium almost fill the bottom...except for an awkward narrow strip of space that is hard to make use of. I haven't been able to decide yet whether it will be more space-efficient to roll up the divider with 3 compartments, which would really seem like a waste, but it's hard to put anything (clothing, flat shoes) behind the divider that fits without bulging. I'm sure more compression cube Jenga will reveal the final limits of the bag as luggage. I will say that I don't see the point of the laptop carry section--that always goes in my personal item. Would have preferred to swap it out for more space in the bag.
I bought this on the Kickstarter campaign, and it's been amazing so far. Just got it in a couple weeks ago and I'm on my 3rd trip with it. Compared to the hardshell I was using, this is a godsend. I frequently do 2 to 4 day business trips, and this fits everything I need, and having it in the hotel with the ability to open at the top is so, so much better than traditional carry-on size suitcases. It rolls incredibly well, so well that I pushed it in front of me one time to pop my ear buds in my ear and the darn thing rolled so fast I had to run to catch up to it and wound up looking like an idiot in the airport I'm sure. Every pieces of this from top to bottom feels like it was made just for me, and I have no criticism at all. I'd love to see a "full size" version of tis as well for longer trips and checked baggage. I pair this with the backpack as well, and between those two bags, I've got all my tech and all my clothes and boots secure and well packed.
you know when a product exceeds your expectations and delivers on all the features from the marketing video? this is what. it's *chefs kiss*. I just took it on its first trip and it was an actual delight to use. I'm obsessed, I'm in love, and I will never use another suitcase.
