Main cavity is divisible into 2 compartments via a zippered mesh sleeve. Tuck-away shoulder straps and hip belt. 360-degree grab handles.
Setup & Tips
Peak Design Head of Brand Lawrence Lander waxes eloquent (well, entertainingly sub-eloquent) on every single nook and cranny of our new Travel Backpack 45L.
Access & Expansion
The bag offers multiple access points including rear access via a burly #10 UltraZip, dual side access, and a front zip panel for additional storage and organization. Expansion zips allow for fitting more or compressing your load, and a soft-lined zippered top pocket is perfect for keys, glasses, and passports.
Internal & External Organization
Internally, the bag features padded, dedicated laptop and tablet sleeves, as well as clip-in points for Peak Design Camera Cubes. Externally, it includes hugely expandable side pockets for water bottles and tripods, plus external carry straps that stow beneath a magnetic flap.
Travel & Security Features
Approved for international carry-on, the bag includes a luggage pass-through for roller bag carry and a protected luggage tag holder. It is equipped with theft-deterrent zipper pulls and designed to fit Peak Design Packing and Camera Cubes (fit 3 units with space for more).
Comfort & Carrying Options
Padded shoulder and waist straps stow under magnetic flaps for worry-free bag-checking, with axial strap attachments providing all-day comfort for all body types. The bag also includes a stowable sternum strap and 360-degree grab handles for versatile carrying options.
Material & Durability
Constructed from a weatherproof, 100% recycled 400D nylon canvas shell with a rugged 900D waterproof bottom liner, the bag features ultralight padded foam for security and structure around the entire bag. The high-visibility grey interior makes it easy to find items inside.
Sustainability
The bag is Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral, reflecting a commitment to ethical manufacturing and environmental responsibility. It comes with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring peace of mind for your investment.
