Best rolling roller bag!
on May 8, 2026
Posted by: JD
The design of this bag is a dream come true with the clam shell opening. The wheels are outstanding making traversing airports very easy, though one must be mindful the bag may roll away from you because the rollers are too good! The reason I’m giving it a 4* is 1) there’s not a 4.5 option, 2) it’s on the smaller side so packing for a week or longer trip can be challenging 3) the expanding option needs work: you can unzip to expand the space but the space collapses so it’s awkward to have to pull up on the bag to get it expanded and bag closed when using the expansion option for longer trips. Despite these small setbacks, it remains my go to bag for shorter trips. I would love to see a 23” carry on option for those longer domestic trips.

Excellent quality, but overengineered for my trave

I originally signed up for this early on because I genuinely liked the concept and trusted the Peak Design brand. I later canceled because the price felt difficult to justify, but eventually received an offer and decided to give it a try anyway.
The build quality is excellent. The materials feel premium, the wheels are smooth, and the bag definitely feels durable and thoughtfully engineered.
That said, after traveling with it more, I realized it simply wasn’t the right fit for my style of travel. The biggest issue for me is weight. On paper it may not seem dramatically heavier than competing bags, but in real-world use it becomes noticeable quickly, especially once camera gear, laptops, batteries, chargers, and other travel tech are added.
I also think the bag became a little too engineered for its own good. I found myself wishing it worked more naturally as “just a really great carry-on bag” without needing to think so much about systems, accessories, or specialized organization. I already use a small camera cube, so I eventually realized I preferred lighter and simpler luggage overall.
The zipper/access design also felt more complicated than necessary for everyday travel use.
One disappointment was the rollout experience. As an early supporter, I was given estimated timing that came and went, only to later see the bag appearing in retail stores before mine had arrived. Even though early supporters received better pricing, it still made the preorder experience feel less special than expected.
Overall, I still think this is a very high-quality product and I respect the amount of thought that went into it. I think future versions could really benefit from:
* reduced weight
* simpler access/layout
* a more travel-first approach
* and making the core bag experience shine even without additional accessories
* simpler access/layout
* a more travel-first approach
* and making the core bag experience shine even without additional accessories
I can absolutely see this working well for photographers carrying larger production setups. For my own workflow, I eventually realized I value lighter, simpler, more traditional travel gear.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't wait, it is worth every penny

I bought this about a month ago and have had the chance to travel with it for work three times now, both internationally and domestic. I'm a very frequent traveler, was pretty tired of dragging awful wheels to a hotel then opening up my suitcase folder style on the floor. This is designed so well. I find I can fit just as much from a total carry capacity, the wheels are INCREDIBLE, rolling well over cobblestones, NYC streets, airports you name it. I also greatly appreciate the sneaky storage for things like my wallet, portable power bank, or passport holder. Possibly my favorite feature as I can dump things in there as I go through security and customs, and they are much easier to get to even when compared to grabbing from a pocket in a backpack. Don't need to take the pack off, they are just all right there. It's also clearly very well made, which I appreciate. I was a bit hesitant to pull the trigger, but very glad I did. As someone who travels way too often for work, the little things really make a difference. Such an awesome add to my travel collection. Highly recommend

Upgrades my travel experience
on May 28, 2026

A carry-on is such a big part of your travel experience, and the Roller Pro Carry-On really makes a big impact. Carrying it around it so much easier with the strong handle and super smooth wheels, and packing and unpacking is also so easy with the single compartment and drawbridge. It's so great that my wife and I got another one so we can each travel with one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Spectacular Bag
on June 3, 2026

I purchased this bag a few weeks ago and took it straight into the action. I used it for a photoshoot and although I didn't use the camera cube insert I still used it to carry my 200mm-400mm F4 Cannon Lens because I needed something reliable. I also used it as my carry on bag which was great. Held my laptop and other nonsense perfectly! I was on the shoot for a week and moved the bag in and out of cars multiple times a day. A few things on my wish list for the bag... The small section where the laptop goes I wish it had 2 sippers so I could zip it in the middle for quick access when my bag is in the overhead compartment and I need to grab my laptop. The nonesense pouch above the laptop sleeve is a little shallow, I had airpods, wallet, GoPro and a small cable and the pouch was maxed out. Lastly the wheels roll soo smooth that it actually makes it hard to stay in one place, I found it trying to roll away from me, not sure how you would ever solve that problem but maybe a project for next time.
I would recommend this to a friend!
