Best product for 2 - 4 day business trips.

Posted by: Traveling Sales Manager

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

PD Has Outdone Themselves!

Peak Design has utterly redone what people expect in a carry-on bag. The drawbridge opening and carbon fiber are easy to notice, but even mundane things like the wheels are new. You have to touch the bag to appreciate everything that has been put into it - and you will never regret buying one!

So far so good

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’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!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First Impressions
on November 18, 2025
Posted by: ALS
1st trip impressions:
Be careful if you check the bag in its expanded form - I carry on when going, but often check a bag when coming home if it's full and heavy with new acquisitions. The danger is that the zipper is exposed when expanded, and on its maiden voyage the teeth of the zipper were damaged. I can still kind of close it but I foresee problems ahead. The lesson I learned is to pack the bag in it's expanded form and then squish it down to compress it and zip up the expandable section. This worked really well even when the bag was really packed out. I never needed the elastic cords to hold the contents because of this, but if you needed to open the bag while vertical I can see where the cords would be useful.
Since I always fly with a personal item, I use the exterior top pocket to hold my liquid toiletries bag where if I need to I can retrieve it, plus things like gloves and a hat which I might need to quickly grab.
I don't travel with a laptop, only a tablet, so I may cut out the security flap features of the front pocket like another reviewer did. I did use the laptop compartment to stow papers and flat items that I didn't need access to.
I didn't think I would but ended up enjoying the see-through small pockets to keep bits and bobs like locks, s-hooks, laundry supplies, packable tote bags, shoe covers - things I don't need in my personal item but are nice to have separate storage for.
(FYI the personal item I use right now is the Patagonia Micro MLC, and the luggage pass-thru fits over the PD Roller handle pretty easily with a bit of jiggling.)
The bag is heavier than my hardsided carry-on, but I have grown to hate the room those bags need to open clam-shell style and the restricted packing space, so the drawbridge opening is a game changer for me. Even fully loaded, I didn't have any problem carrying it for short distances by hand or putting in in an overhead compartment. The four handles really help maneuverability.
Minor niggles: I wish they'd used zippers that have a hole for a cable lock. Also, the Hinge Creak is real and I wish they put the fix on the product page - I'm having trouble finding it.

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!

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.

Best solution so far

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.
