Best solution so far
on July 10, 2025
Posted by: Liz
from Oregon
Received this today with the XL case. Was quite skeptical size it would be right size wise, but I am pleasantly surprised. 2-Z9 bodies perfectly, 7 lenses and accessories. Although I do not travel with all this, I could if I wanted to. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding Roller Bag
on June 26, 2025

from NEW JERSEY
I bought this on Kickstarter and was one of the first round of shipments. I purchase a ton of Peak Design gear and this Roller Pro does not disappoint. Sturdy, high quality build and the aesthetics are awesome. Pairs well with my Coyote 30L Everyday bag. Love it.

Peak Design Nails It Again!
on July 26, 2025
Posted by: Island Jim
After following the build-up and advertising of this carry-on, I was expecting an exceptional product and I received it. It is handsome to look at and extremely functional. The roller system is the best I've experienced, and the trolley is really a dream and works like "butta." Truly no "slop" just like you promised. Love the tensioned drawbridge hinge. It's obvious that you put this bag through all the tests and it passed with flying colors. The bad news? It was a birthday gift for my wife, and she is too attached to her 30-yr old Hartmann to accept it. Ouch! I'll be buying this gem in the future for me!!!

Great bag - except the wheels
on October 15, 2025
Posted by: mr1970
I bought this a couple months ago, generally I'm a big fan of Peak gear and I have a bunch of their stuff. I'm a frequent traveler to the tune of millions of actual flight miles over the last 30 years of my career so my luggage is important to me in that it needs to be highly functional, durable, and should stay below the radar when I'm actually using it. If I notice something bothering me about it, that's not great.
So, I love the weight, the styling, and pockets and compartments. The drawbridge opening is pretty cool and I like how Peak did the low profile handlebar to render more usable space in the bag. The side handles on the bag top and sides are cool and have loosened up a little after a few trips. My only real ding on the bag: the wheels.
I've had eBags, TravelPro, Away, etc in the past and generally speaking their wheels have done the job well and stayed off my radar, they just work. I think the wheels on the Roller Pro are either slightly undersized or maybe the bearings aren't working well. It works great on hard flooring and outdoors like on sidewalks or hotel lobbies. It doesn't push effortlessly on carpeted floors at hotels/airports and any other situation where there's a little drag on the wheels. I find that the handlebar setup at full extension exacerbates the situation in the less-than-smooth flooring situations, it tends to push the bag over because the center of effort is too high when you have to exert extra effort on high drag floor surfaces. It works better of you lower the handlebar to its lower lock setting but it's still not what I would call super well balanced.
I lean more towards thinking the wheels are a bit undersized because it doesn't "curb hop" particularly capably relative to something like a TravelPro. For example going over structured thresholds at hotels or airports - the small bumps that you encounter going into and out of facilities or from sidewalk to street back to sidewalk. The bag tends to lose its balance in those situations which is why I think it's a wheel size issue.
Everything else about the bag has been great, I prefer it due to its capacity and how well it works with the rest of my Peak gear. If Peak revisits the wheel setup it'll be perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Be wary of QC issues with this luggage.
on August 19, 2025
Posted by: Nomad Life
Be wary of quality control issues with this suitcase. I purchased it multiple times and multiple issues were found on each one.
1st - Issue with the hinge making a loud creaking noise that wouldn't go away.
2nd - Issue with the 'draw-bridge' latches (where the hooks go into to secure the lid from being held upright in its' place) being uneven which made the top lid be uneven.

So disappointed as I really enjoyed the luggage otherwise.

Looks premium, dont protect laptop
on January 17, 2026
Posted by: Danyil
The Peak Design suitcase looks great, but the laptop compartment provides basically zero real protection.
After a 13-hour flight, my laptop screen suffered mechanical damage — a crack that went through the outer casing. The laptop was placed exactly where it’s supposed to be: inside Peak Design’s “protective” laptop compartment, in carry-on, in the overhead bin. There was nothing else in that pocket -- just the laptop. It was in perfect condition before the flight.
So under normal flight vibration and handling, the suitcase didn’t absorb the stress the laptop did. The result: a cracked screen and a ruined start to the trip.
What’s especially frustrating is that I actually love the suitcase otherwise. Conceptually it’s excellent, and it’s genuinely comfortable to use. But now I’m left wondering whether I can safely travel with tech in it at all because the divider between the laptop and the main compartment feels like thin fabric, not a protective wall. During travel it absorbs nothing and transfers the load straight into the device.
Beautiful design, great usability - but if the laptop compartment can’t protect a laptop in a basic real-world flight scenario, that’s a serious failure.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sadly a couple of dealbreakers.
on January 7, 2026
Posted by: Dinsdale
The many positives for this carry-on is overshadowed by a few greatly overlooked issues when it comes to carry-ons.
The Roller Pro looks amazing and has an amazing internal layout. The wheels make it effortless to move it around even on uneven ground and the drawbridge opening makes the trip through the security checkpoint and general use easy
It is however nearly 4kg, taking up nearly 50% of the allowed weight limit on most airlines. Just putting a camera with a lens or a laptop with a heavy power brick can force you to just fill the rest of the volume with just air, maybe a few socks and underwear.
It will also fail the size check on nearly EVERY european airline. It's height and depth is oversized. Due to the size alone this can become a 600$ headache not including the extra baggage fee that you might get. I've already failed this check once, but luckily avoided the fee on a short haul route.
I sadly bought this without checking the measurements because I've gotten so used to any serious luggage company having this locked in. If I could make the buying decision again I would wait for a v2 or a Roller Pro Lite. The size problem alone isn't something you should expect for a carry-on at this pricepoint.

Worked well the first couple of trips
on July 14, 2025
Posted by: brasstab
from SoCal
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
