Customer Reviews Peak Design 45 L Travel Backpack

This backpack is perfect. EVERY cm is well thought out. The various pockets, divisions and features allow it to store its utensils excellent.

This pack is perfect for short trips or lightweight one-bag travel over a longer period. Love the variety of features included. Some of my favorites are the stashable hip belt, side access, and lash straps & attachment points all over the pack.

I do photo & video with a work trip to Thailand from the US and needed a new travel bag. My goals for a new bag were to make sure I could carry my camera gear, tech, clothes, and accessories for my 7 day trip. The bag also had to be carried with me on all the planes, trains, and automobiles. This 45L pack worked to perfection. Paired with the small camera cube for my gear everything fit perfectly. Taking stuff out at security points was quick and easy, and this bag fit in every overhead bin I came across. The trip was my first time putting the bag to work, and with a few strap adjustments along the way I found it to be extremely comfortable and a pleasure to use.

I mainly use this bag for weekend trips but I have also brought in abroad as a carry on. On one particulary long haul flight, I fell asleep with a cup of red wine in my hand, which eventually slipped and spillt all over my nice, brand new backpack. In a panic and with nothing else at hand I had to use the airline pillow to try and soak up the wine. Fortunately for me there was no need to panic though because the amazing material that this bag is made out of was more than a match for a bit of wine. This backpack is the perfect marriage of what might seem like a minimalist's bag and bag full of features. Some are so subtle, like the zipper security features and secret pockets but when traveling through busy airport, are a serious godsent.

I'm doing a travel with It and i love It; i put all my wadrob and sail equipment inside and It so confortable

This is the first backpack I've ever had to learn to use, but Peak Design has very helpful videos teaching you all the ins-and-outs of this amazing backpack! I've really enjoyed all the features this backpack offers to help keep everything organized and easy to carry.

I purchased this backpack 2 years ago and couldn't be happier. Recently a small tear arose, backpack handle was tearing a little from main pack. Contacted Peak Design regarding warranty guarantees who were brilliant. They sent me a brand new bag to replace my broken one. Now this is a company which stands behind their product and promise to customers! Will be backing this brand for years to come. Thank you Peak Design.

Took this bag in a couple flights and it was great, the theft deterrence features offer a great peace of mind while in the airport. The several storing option are very practical and allowed me to pack everything I needed plus a jacket on top of the bag thanks to the straps. And of course the easy access to my camera gear is just awesome.

I'm a 6'4" 295lb man that was looking for a comfortable camera backpack that did make me feel like Gulliver. My search is over after 2 years Comfortable, stylish and with the medium and small amera cubes, more than enough room for my gear...and yes, I always overpack Even the waist belt is comfortable and slick Thank you Peak Design!

One of the best camera backpack I ever had, very well made and much thought and care has been into the design of this product

I have been traveling and daily using this bag for more than 3 years now and the bag is super resistant, practical, and has a great interface.

I bought this pack for a 6 week backpacking trip and it has exceeded my expectations! It's convenient to have a large compartment like a duffel, and I fit a smaller, skinny day/flight bag in the front compartment that I can take out to stuff the backpack in the overhead bin or back of a bus.

Purchased this pack for my two week trip to the Italian Alps. Wanted something to augment my suitcase and be versatile. This pack delivers offering lots of space and pockets. The packing cubes really help keep thing organized. Love that it can open like a suitcase. Big thumbs up!

I have used this bag for quite some time. It is very useful and versatile to customise my bag for different needs. Reduce to 30L when I travel light or 45L with I gone for a short getaway trip.

Use this back for a 4-day trip in NYC. It carries so much more than I expected. The compartment design makes it very easy to take stuff out and keep the bag well organized. Many interesting features on this bag and you will find one of them useful from time to time.

We stuffed our bags with 9 days of clothes including a formal dress and traveled to 4 countries with no problem. We were able to use the bag as a carry on for all airlines which reduced our stress dramatically for fears of lost luggage when heading to my daughter's wedding. Well designed, durable and evenly balanced when you carry it.

Got this bag as I single "do it all bag". It's mint. Holds everything I need for a few days away and more.

The bag is huge. love the ability to expand/contract as needed. A couple of inconvenient handles are located near the bottle holders.

Took on a trip to Europe city hopping. Worked perfectly. I am a small person but manages to configure to fit my frame. Only feedback for the team is that I almost lost the chest strap a couple of times.

I bought the bag after reading reviews and watching videos and realized that it would be a purchase that i would try on my upcoming trip and if i didnt like it i would return it. well that went a lot better than expected. I had some packing cubes and that helps a load in keeping organized but what was really key were all the extra compartments. Being able to take out the laptop easily and still access the bag via the side panels made for getting some needed items out in a quick hurry.

Large enough for 1 month summer tour of Europe. My wife and I both went without checking luggage. We replaced 15+ year old Eagle Creek bags (which we loved to death but discontinued our favorite model) with Peak Design packs.

I love this backpack. It has so much accessbility (front, back, side, top) and a lot of features and pockets. I like that you can stow away the hip and shoulder straps and that it has handles on all sides. I also like that you can access the main compartment from the front or back. The camera cube integration is especially handy as well.

My first experience with Peak Design was a gift from a friend. It was the Canera Clip which I still used. Then I bought the Everyday Backpack V1 which became my favorite camera bag. Now I own 5 backpack of peak design. Each one has a specific usage. I can't think on any other brand that has such a nice collection. The camera products such as de Clipper, the lense holder, the bracelet holder. Everything is incredible

Sturdy tough materials. Killer design. Major upgrade from the Tortuga bag I'd been using. Didn't think I'd appreciate all the flexibility with the bag set up, but it's been super helpful. Would definitely purchase again.

I've been looking for an all purpose bag for a few weeks now. Something modular for my camera equipment, carry on on a plane and travel in general. I am so glad I found this option. I paired this with a wash pouch, small camera cube and a medium packing cube. In one word, amazing!! I'm a customer for life!!
