So far so good
on October 8, 2025
Posted by: Phileas Fogg
from Stockholm, Sweden
I’ve only had my Roller Pro 6 weeks-or-so and so far only done about 20 flights with it so it’s early days. However first impressions are positive. Very pleased with the quality look-and-feel, and manoeuvrability is superb. I’m also appreciating small details I didn’t notice in the marketing blurb, for instance the carry handles on all sides are super-useful. So right now I am very happy. Let’s see how it’s holding up after 3 years and another million-or-so miles!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’ve traveled all over the world with the Roller Pro carry-on and it’s been great. My main issue the case is the terrible screeching noise that the hinges make when opening and closing the case. It’s so loud and really unsettling. Please fix this in the next iteration!!

Not for Seasoned Business Travelers
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: BC
I wanted to love the Peak Design Roller Pro. And in many ways, I do.
The build quality is excellent. Materials feel premium. The engineering is thoughtful and clearly intentional. You can tell this wasn’t rushed to market — someone obsessed over the details.
That said, as someone who’s been traveling for business for more than three decades — and who lives out of a carry-on most weeks — it ultimately didn’t deliver on usable space the way I’d hoped.
Yes, there’s smart internal structuring. But to maximize capacity, you almost have to use packing cubes. If you love cubes, this may be a non-issue. I don’t. I prefer flexibility and the ability to adjust on the fly. Without cubes, the interior organization actually works against you a bit.
The laptop sleeve is where it really lost me. I don’t know a single heavy business traveler who stores their laptop inside their roller. It lives in a backpack or briefcase for airport access, meetings, lounges, and security. That dedicated sleeve takes up valuable real estate that could have been repurposed for expandable storage or a more flexible interior layout.
In short: beautifully built, impressively engineered, but not optimized for the way seasoned road warriors actually pack.
As much as I wanted this to be “the bag,” my Tumi still wins on practical capacity and real-world business travel usability.
Peak Design makes great gear. This just wasn’t it for me.

The Best Travel Bags
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: Chris5678
from Arbuckle,CA
I’ve had the Roller Pro since it was released. I’ve flown with it over a dozen times including internationally. I usually check it and carry on my PD Travel Backpack. The Roller Pro holds up to the abuse of baggage handlers, the fabric is tougher than any hard sided luggage big or small. Any unfortunate scuff that appears is easily wiped off. The wheels roll unbelievably smooth, the Roller Pro feels like it’s floating. If you want bags or luggage that doesn’t suck, then buy Peak Design bags. I’ve been traveling with them since 2018.

I am an industrial designer myself and I appreciate all the great observations and clever ideas that went into designing this product. The lifetime warranty combined with the fantastic quality of PD products makes me happy, knowing I will have this item forever - like, okay roller bag is covered now! An absolut recommendation!

Poor Design Choices
on April 19, 2026
Posted by: ElectricApples
from New Orleans
I Kickstarted this product, so I was rooting for it. Let me start with the good news: the wheels roll.
Now the bad news.
After two uses, one of the zippers failed near the hinge. You can actually see the zipper pulling off the track at the turn. That's a design flaw. By the third trip, I was packing backup straps just in case the second zipper gave out too.
The laptop compartment eats up 7cm of depth. Most laptops are less than 1cm thick. That's a massive waste of space in a carry on, and it really should be called out in the specs so buyers know what they're giving up.
Two stars instead of one because it does technically hold your stuff. Until the zippers fail.

Roller Pro for business travel
on July 16, 2025
Posted by: OldTrick
from Fukuoka, Japan
I am a big fan of Peak Design products and always pack my carry-on bag with their Packing Cubes and Tech Pouch. The only issue I faced was finding a suitable carry-on for transporting my business suit, a couple of dress shirts, and one or two ties. I often had to switch to a larger suitcase to pack them neatly.
Then, I discovered Peak Design's Roller Pro. This suitcase features multiple cords and loops, making it incredibly versatile. By attaching a small loop of string to the center loop inside the case, I can neatly tuck a thin garment bag inside. I use the travel hanger connected to this loop to ensure the garment bag doesn’t shift while in motion.
Now, it makes for a perfect carry-on for my 2- to 3-night business trips, allowing me to avoid the hassle at the check-in counter and baggage claim.

Traveler’s Dream & Incredible Sony Fx3 Workstation
on August 14, 2025
Posted by: JoelT
from San Diego, CA
This carryon plus the XL camera cube insert are the new home for my Sony Fx3, and I LOVE IT. Makes doing all of my most important gear in carry-on luggage easy, and setting up on shoot location is as easy as popping the top and grabbing gear out of the compartments. I’m able to store my external monitor (espresso) in the laptop sleeve, and have my big laptop in my backpack, making it super easy to create a mobile editing/processing station anywhere.
And it rolls like a dream, super easy to maneuver. Handle feels more secure than my wife’s nice carry-on hardshell.
Sometimes when you put it up above you have to shimmy it a little so the wheels lay flat, but that’s a minuscule gripe on what is fundamentally an excellent roller.
I’ve take it on ~5 trips now and love it. I travel professionally for my job, so I depend on great travel gear.
