Peak Design Travel Backpack Overview

The black Travel Backpack from Peak Design is a bag that can serve as the core of a versatile transportation system for photographers, multimedia creators, and dedicated travelers. Expansion zippers along its spacious main compartment allows this backpack to increase from 30L to 45L in volume, while inside, a zippered partition system forms an optional front and rear divider. To further enhance the ability to organize this bag's contents, separately available Peak Design compartments that are specifically designed to store camera, video, audio, and digital media equipment, as well as apparel or small electronics can be arranged within the Travel Backpack to create a customized carrying solution that can be changed as needed.

When the Travel Backpack is worn, a sleeve with dedicated pockets for a 10" tablet computer and a 15" laptop rests behind the shoulders, within the main compartment. A front-facing pocket is included for items that need to be accessed quickly and conveniently, such as a pair of sunglasses or music player earphones, while hidden side pockets can be used to safely hold a passport, a phone, or other items that benefit from a higher degree of security. Also along the sides of the Travel Backpack are two large, open pockets that can each hold a water bottle, tripod, monopod, or trekking pole; any one of which can be secured using a locking strap above each pocket.

If placed on the ground or a flat surface, complete access to Peak Design compartments or items placed directly within the Travel Backpack is provided by a zippered panel that faces the back, as well as the front panel which unzips to also reveal four zippered mesh pockets that can be used to store and organize batteries, memory cards, or small electronics. When partially opened, the rear panel's zippers allow a laptop or tablet computer to be removed from or placed within the laptop and tablet computer pockets through the top of the Travel Backpack. The main compartment can be reached even while carrying the Travel Backpack, through zippered side openings which are positioned to face the wearer when the bag is rotated from one's back to front with either side facing upward.

The Travel Backpack can be carried using built-in handles along its top, sides, or by its adjustable, shoulder straps. For heavy loads, this bag's sternum strap can be used to more evenly distribute the weight being carried, while a waist belt transfers weight to the hips for additional comfort, and helps to limit unintentional shifting around the wearer. During storage or transport, the straps and waist belt can be tucked behind the rear panel, which also features a built-in handle that can be used as a pass-through, allowing this bag to be mounted onto a rolling case's dual-column telescoping handle for added convenience.

Featuring durable, nylon construction, the Travel Backpack is built to be weather resistant and is compatible with a separately available rain cover for further protection from the elements.

Best protection

One of the most trustworthy backpacks for filming/photographing in the market. but it is heavy by itself, it weighs 20-25kg once I load all my equipment.

This bag has replaced my North Face Surge backpack! It is built super tough and is quite large!

Like the look, feel, color, structure and features of the bag. If I had 2 suggestions it would be to make the expandable section be part of the larger section of the bag, instead of the front. Let the front be its own section all the time. The second would be to have the lap top sleeve be its own separate section as well. Access to the laptop without having to open the main compartment. Great bag otherwise.

The backpack is amazing. Sturdy, well built. It is a bit on the bulky side… I’m always scared when going to take an airplane… but no issue so far. It is also on the heavy side. But the functionality is amazing. The snap system for 30-35L does not work if the bag is packed though. Would have been much better with another zip.

Great and so many areas to store items

You wont know the value of this bag until you get it. The storage is amazing and to access the storage pockets is so convenient so you never have to worry on where you will place items. It has different types of pockets such as washbag type pocket and then standard zip pockets. There are plenty of zips to secure your items and a main zip in the section to keep your items tidy organized.

Well Designed Bag, Great Warranty & Customer Servi

I had my first 45L travel bag from Peak Design for over three years. It held up great and saw a million miles of air travel, literally. It’s the only travel bag I’ve ever owned that actually received unsolicited compliments from strangers during my travels, seriously. I’d still have it but I think something got caught in the zipper one time when I was zipping it up and the zipper came off the track. I contacted Peak Design’s customer service and they got back to me right away with instructions on how to make a warranty claim. Rome was the customer service rep helping me out through the whole process and he did an excellent job. Peak Design sent me a new bag free of charge along with a label to send the old bag back. I was sad to see my old bag go, but the replacement is identical, built with the same high quality and attention to detail. In fact, I think they may have beefed up the zippers a little on my newer bag!

Great Backpack

I never thought to find another backpack as this. I can even go without problem with Ryanair as carry on. Maybe 45l sounds to little for someone who is a backpacker, but believe me theres a great space on it.

I've been on a quest to find the perfect bag. I have the Atlas Adventure Pack and the Peter Mckinnon Nomatic. Both have a depth issue. My 5DMIV with battery grip doesn't fit well. Put a decent sized tripod plate on and forget it. Can anyone shed light on the depth for this?
Asked by: Chris
My 5D3 with grip and 50mm 1.2L lens fit perfectly in a on-side orientation. Theoretically you could put a larger lens and fit as well. Bag is very roomy. It works largely on the insert systems so I recommend going to the manufacturer site and looking at the depth for the insert you wish to use to see how it will fit. Also Peak Design is one of the best companies when it comes to how to videos. Search them on YouTube and they will have many videos of their products and different fitments for many popular hardware.

Can this bag hold a 600 mm lens? If not, what's the largest lens the bag can hold?
Asked by: William
Peak Design Travel Backpack (Black) does not include any dividers though. Usually an option with dividers is purchased so that it can better hold the lens. For example this one comes with the medium dividers. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1456246-REG/peak_design_peak_design_45l_travel.html The medium dividers measures only 11 x 11 x 6" so it would fit a smaller lens for example 70-300, but it depends on the exact lens you are looking for because there are larger and smaller 600mm lenses in the market.

I have read mixed reviews of the hip/waist straps. Can anyone comment on whether they help to distribute the weight comfortably?
Asked by: Toby
It does help quite a bit to distribute the weight evenly, but keep in mind it is a bi smaller and less padded than most would expect. Better for every day commuter shooters and not as comfortable for long hikes.
