I’ve been using this carry-on for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. Even when it’s loaded with heavy photography gear, it glides effortlessly — the wheels are incredibly smooth, which makes a huge difference when moving around airports or city streets.
The build quality feels solid and secure. I currently have the XL cube, but I’m considering switching to the M for more flexibility. Aesthetically, the suitcase looks great and feels premium to the touch. One of my favorite features is the opening system — it’s intuitive and very satisfying to use.
I’ve been thinking about how it could be improved without compromising its strengths, but honestly, nothing concrete has come to mind yet. It’s already doing a great job.
This Roller has been on long and short trips since I got it. And it delivers. All the promises that were made in the Kickstarter campaign are true. It packs more (looks decisively small), the wheels are amazing and the handle allow a manoeuvring that is unreal.
Absolutely thrilled with this roller carry-on luggage from Peak Design — it’s hands down the best piece of luggage I’ve ever owned. As someone who travels frequently and values quality gear, this bag exceeded all expectations. First off, the wheels are buttery smooth — seriously, it glides effortlessly over carpet, tile, and even bumpy sidewalks. I barely have to apply pressure when rolling it alongside me.
The build quality is rock-solid. The exterior is rigid and durable, easily holding up against the usual airport abuse. I recently got caught in a complete downpour in Seattle, and everything inside stayed perfectly dry — the waterproofing is no joke. It's reassuring to know I can trust this bag in any condition.
Inside, the organization is exceptional. Multiple interior pockets, smart storage options, and thoughtful design make packing and accessing my items incredibly easy and efficient. I especially appreciate how every compartment has a purpose — no wasted space, and everything has its place.
This is actually my tenth Peak Design purchase, and they continue to impress me with their consistency, attention to detail, and commitment to high performance. They’ve really nailed the balance between form and function with this one. Stylish, rugged, and ridiculously practical.
If you’re looking for a roller carry-on that can truly keep up with you — whether you’re hopping continents or commuting for business — this is the one. Worth every penny, and then some. I couldn't recommend it more highly.
I bought this on kickstarter, at first I did not like it and thought it was too heavy and over engineered. I then cut out the floppy mag cover, + cut out the opposite mag fabric on the front panel. (Also who keeps a laptop in a roller bag and not a personal item/backpack?) -> So I cut out 1 side + excess foam for the front laptop pocket and now made it a lighter single panel pocket with more room. I then removed the heavy pointless hinges. also the clip for the roll down pocket kept coming undone and doesn't allow for a tight roll. so I removed that and just used an old velcro cable tie - works perfect. All in all I removed more than 0.5lb of useless stuff, and now the bag is WAY more functional and holds even more, and weighs even less. I love it 10/10 would recommend
I love the roller pro. I have not used it for travel yet but I have used for photography. I have fit all my gear in it and it carries it safe and secure. The wheels are amazing and the handle is perfection. It is just so great
This roller is amazing and the design really works for my needs with being a top loader. The wheels are super smooth, even on carpet, and the whole interior layout just works with their packing cubes.
One trip was a quick three day jaunt in which I also packed my camera cube and DSLR. The second trip was eight days from West to East and the roller pro did really well with its travel backpack companion. I was able to pack all the clothes and two pairs of shoes — in both bags. One of my shirt packing cubes was in the backpack. I kept my toiletries in the admin panel, which my wife was quick to point out is “easy for boys.” Note that the bag required expansion but that’s fine for domestic. It is a solid piece of construction and it really does race through airports. Also kept my MacBook Air in the RP which was a nice relief. They pair up exquisitely, especially in the same color.
This thing is a joy to use, is incredibly spatially efficient and rolls like no other suitcase I’ve ever seen. Also if it ever breaks the warranty is amazing which gives you incredible peace of mind!
