Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L v2 – Ocean

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

No two trips are the same, so the best bag should adapt to all of them. We travel to explore, for work, to see family and friends, to take photos and film, to relax and sometimes, if we're lucky, all of these at once. Whatever you take with you, wherever you go and however long for – with the Travel Backpack, all your things will be perfectly organised, incredibly accessible and 100% protected. The Travel Backpack and the other products in 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've created a system you can customise endlessly, so you can carry anything anywhere you like and always have everything to hand.

The Travel Backpack 45L is a carry-on-sized 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 compresses down to an everyday backpack size of 30 l using the innovative compression system. In addition to full back-panel access for easy packing, the backpack features dual side access, top access to the laptop/tablet and dedicated front access. Plenty of external and internal pockets, plus a divider with organisers that can split the main compartment. Comfortable padded shoulder straps and hip belt can be quickly stowed behind the magnetically secured back panel. Handles on every side, theft-deterrent zips, hidden passport/document pockets, a padded sunglasses pocket, a luggage pass-through for wheeled bags 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 ways to customise, organise and protect clothes, shoes, toiletries, small electronics and photo/video gear. They are designed to fit perfectly in Peak Design travel bags, and each pouch offers easy access, thoughtful organisation, durable materials and a consistently clean look.
