Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L v2 – Sage

A travel backpack with unrivalled versatility, access, organisation and aesthetics.

No two trips are the same, so the best luggage should adapt to all of them. We travel to explore, for work, to see family and friends, to shoot photos and video, to relax – and sometimes, if we're lucky, all of these at once. Whatever you take, wherever you go and for however long – with the Travel Backpack, everything will be perfectly organised, amazingly accessible and 100% protected. The Travel Backpack and the rest of the Travel Line are not only a precisely thought-out system, they also work brilliantly with all existing Peak Design products.

For everyone on the move. At Peak Design, we build things we want to use ourselves. Like our customers, we're a mix of creatives, adventurers, parents and travellers – often all at once. That's why we created a system you can customise endlessly to carry anything you want, anywhere you want, and always have everything to hand.

The Travel Backpack 45L is a cabin-size backpack packed with the very best travel features (just as you'd expect from Peak Design). From its default 35 L size, it expands to 45 L or, using the innovative compression system, shrinks down to an everyday 30 L backpack. As well as full back access for easy packing, the backpack offers dual side access, top access to the laptop/tablet and dedicated front access. Plenty of external and internal pockets and a divider with organisers that can split the main compartment. Comfortable padded shoulder straps and hip belt can be quickly hidden behind the magnetically secured back panel. Handles on all sides, theft-deterrent zips, hidden passport/document pockets, a padded sunglasses pocket, a luggage pass-through for wheeled luggage and hidden straps for attaching items to the outside. The Travel Backpack has a shell of weatherproof 400D nylon made from 100% recycled plastics and is available in black and sage.

The backpack is complemented by the feature-packed Packing Tools, which offer endless options for customising, organising and protecting clothes, shoes, toiletries, small electronics and photo/video gear. They are designed to fit perfectly in Peak Design travel luggage, and each pouch offers easy access, thoughtful organisation, durable materials and a consistent clean aesthetic.
