One bag travel
Peak design has thought of everything with this bag. It's perfect for one-bag travel. The main compartment is very spacious and the clamshell opening makes it a breeze to organize. The quick-access top pocket is perfect for things that you need constant access to. Handles on all sides make the bag easy to manipulate. The chest strap and optional hip strap add needed support when you've loaded it up.
Unfortunately, it's not the bag I was looking for, so I'm returning it. But I would be remiss to say that this is an excellent bag at this capacity.

Nice bag but. .
Very high quality bag as typical with PD. Love the color and texture but the bag's a little on the heavy side, laptop compartment well padded but harder to reach. Shoulder straps are a bit thin and slightly uncomfortable for me.

Great Bag - Just Not For Me
While this is a great bag, I returned it as it fell short of my travel needs. On the positive side - the backpack straps tuck in nicely for travel in "Travel Bag" format; the bag has expansion capability; and the Luggage Handle Pass-Through Sleeve functions adequately. On the negative side - the large Front Pocket/Sleeve is accessible from the "bottom" of the bag and is only held closed by a small magnetic closure. This would have been the perfect place to hold travel documents had it been zippered or velcro. Even reversed, with the opening at the top it would have been usable but as is, it had little value from a travel perspective. Also of note, the bag, while opening like a clamshell, opens upside down, meaning laptop sleeve on top-front face on bottom, unlike most, which seems a bit awkward for me at least. Lastly, while the laptop sleeve is well constructed, the balance of interior pockets are lacking in
terms of both placement and functionality. I purchased the 27 L and 35L Yeti Crossroads Carry-On Backpacks from Altitude Sports over the past two years and the 27 L remains my go-to, checking off all the boxes, in particular the true 50/50 "Clam-Shell" format and Luggage Handle pass-through. Thought I would try the Peak Design but it just not live up to all the hype - at least for me.

The best
Such a sold bag. Holds shape. Sturdy Handles everywhere. Strong zippers with pulls. Even complementary straps for big loads. Easily holds a laptop and tablet, papers, and everything I need in the day (extra sweater, gym shoes, my lunch) and doesn’t look bulky. Straps are very comfortable on contour to shoulders nicely

Durable mais lourd
Le design est très bien pensé, avec plusieurs accès qui rendent le rangement et l’accès aux affaires vraiment pratiques. Les matériaux sont robustes et résistants aux intempéries.
Il peut aussi s’adapter à différents types de voyages grâce à sa capacité extensible et ses nombreux compartiments.
En revanche, il est un peu lourd et son organisation peut sembler complexe au début.
Ce n’est pas le sac le plus simple ni le plus abordable, mais pour ceux qui veulent un sac ultra fonctionnel, durable et bien conçu, c’est un excellent choix.

Superbe et solide
On a choisi celui-ci plutôt que le 45l car ses dimensions sont conformes aux dimensions bagage de cabine de Air Canada. Le 45l est trop grand et on ne veut pas risquer de devoir le mettre en soute. Finalement, ça réduit le poids sur le dos et c’est très bien. Le sac s’étend de 27l à 33l ce qui est très pratique. On a sauté sur un super deal sinon il était hors de notre budget. Je ne savais pas que seule la couleur sauge était bluesign alors j’étais un peu déçue car j’ai choisi bleu océan en croyant que cette nouvelle couleur le serait aussi, ce qui n’est pas le cas, seulement qu’aucun PFAS n’a été intentionnellement ajouté. Choisi pour sa grande résistance à la pluie car nous allons en Écosse. Il est juste magnifique sinon.

Best travel backpack ever
You can't find a better quality backpack in 2026, the beautiful and practical design make it worth the (yes, a bit excessive) price.

Qualité wow!
Vraiment bonne qualité, bonne construction. Un peu plus lourd que ce que j'imaginais. J'aime que ça soit compatible avec des cubes caméras, je vais pouvoir l'utiliser pour voyager, ou quand j'ai des shoots, donc super versatile!

Great travel bag
Peak design is great. Sleek lines, well thought out pockets, tonnes of organization.
Would recommend if you like design forward pieces.

Great bag
This is my third peak design bag and the largest of them all. As always quality stuff from pd. Only thing I would change is have the structured front as the everyday sling and bag and have the laptop sleeve accessible from the outside with light having to open the entire bag. Since it’s a clam shell design kinda annoying having to open the entire bag to access the laptop sleeve.
