We liked seeing that they’ve improved that a bit. The straps themselves offer some high-density foam, which is definitely very comfortable-more comfortable, in fact, than the Everyday Backpack. Peak Design Travel Backpack Harness System They’re basically just a normal pair of shoulder straps, but they’re connected by a single metal rivet at the top, which allows the top of the strap to move around to any angle you’d like. These are really great for swinging the pack around your body and using it in “side access mode” while you’re wearing it. The shoulder straps contain Peak Design’s signature rotating straps, which they’ve done with other packs, including their Everyday Backpack. Peak Design Travel Backpack Rotating Shoulder Strap System We’ll start with the harness system, which is one of our favorite-and most innovative-pieces on this pack. External FeaturesĮven though it might not look like it, there are a ton of external features on this pack. To be honest, we’re bit confused with the choice of Zoom zippers, but we’ll cover that later in the review. Wrapping up the materials, there is a DWR coated polyurethane liner-which will add some more weatherproofing- aluminum hardware, and a bunch of YKK and Zoom zippers. Results were fairly conclusive, with 69% saying they liked the look of the pack and 31% saying they did not like the look. Peak Design Travel Backpack Instagram PollĪs we normally do, we polled our Instagram audience to determine how many of you folks like the look of this bag. This may be a pro or con, depending on your use case and style taste. We’ve also noticed that it does a great job of keeping its form even while empty, due to the high density foam padding around most of the pack. It’s quite weather-resistant, and it feels nice to the touch.Īs far as the overall aesthetics of the bag, this thing is really sleek and minimal even though it has a ton of crazy features going on in it. You might be curious as to why they’ve got canvas on this pack when most other, similar packs are rocking ballistic nylon… This was clearly an intentional choice made by Peak Design. The stuff on the bottom definitely has a slightly rubbery feel to it. Peak Design Travel Backpack FabricĮach color uses the same material, which is a 400D nylon canvas for the majority of the bag, and a 900D nylon canvas at the bottom to protect against additional abrasions. Depending on when you’re reading this review, there might be a few new color options. That being said, Peak Design tends to release their bags in a lot of different colors, so we’re curious to see if they try anything later in 2018 or early 2019. We should also mention that although pictures of the sage color look very similar to the ash color on the Everyday Backpack, it is slightly greener than you might think. Materials & Aesthetic Peak Design Travel Backpack in Minneapolis, MinnesotaĪt the time of this review, the Peak Design Travel Backpack comes in two different colors-black on black, and sage-and we opted for the black on black (obviously). Check out the full review below for all the details. Much like their other gear, our first impression is that this bag has a lot of smart, innovative thinking, and it most definitely lives up to the hype. We’ve been testing this thing out for three weeks and it’s seen use across multiple US states and a few flights. We’ve been hearing whispers about the Peak Design Travel Backpack for some time now, and needless to say, we were pretty excited to get our hands on one. The only problem is that it is very much built for photography-and although we like photography (and have a handful of professional photographers on our team), we’re always more interested in travel bags. Their Everyday Backpack has been a huge hit amongst photographers and it has some of the coolest features we’ve ever seen on a backpack. These guys have been absolutely killing it, making some of the most unique and innovative designs the backpack and photography world have ever seen. If you’ve been following us or you’re into backpacks, photography, or travel-you’ve probably heard of Peak Design. We have been waiting a long time for this review… The Peak Design Travel Backpack is finally here.
