Peak DesignTravel Duffelpack 45-65L (Sage)

I needed a practical bag for a 10 day journey in Thailand that involved motorcycles, trains, cars, vans, and planes. Expecting rain so wanted weather resistance, I also wanted portability so I can jump from plane to train, then transfer to bikes. Everyday in a different destination.I read the reviews and made the purchase. When I first got it, I was convinced it was just too small. It appeared well made, the straps were comfortable, but it just didn't look much bigger than an over-night duffel.Before returning it, I decided to give it a try and pack. So glad I did. After opening the expansion zippers, it swallowed everything. I carried it through 4 airports, 2 trains, and 6 days of riding, and the bag performed perfectly and has no damage to report.The backpack straps and hip belt fold neatly out of place and worked really well on my back as well as checked-in bag. Very sturdy carry handles all around.Overall, it carried the following items every day:- 8 T-shirts- 2 button down shirts- 2 hoodies- 2 jeans- 2 riding jeans with pads- riding boots- pair of sneakers and pair of flip-flops- 16 socks and 12 underwear- 2 cargo shorts and 1 swim trunk- toiletry bagThe pictures attached are of it fully loaded with all the items listed above.Highly recommended.

The Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is a standout travel companion. It's built to last and boasts multiple storage compartments, making organization a breeze. The expansion from 45L to 65L is perfect for travel, and you can still carry it on in 45L mode. Additionally, its cost is reasonable compared to competitors.On the downside, color options are limited, and the tucking of backpack straps could be improved to ensure they stay put when checking luggage. Despite these minor drawbacks, I absolutely love this bag and can't recommend it enough!

If you are looking for the best traveling bag, look no futher. Used it on a few international flights you can either check or carry on which is huge! Large enough to carry a week's worth of clothes. Build quality is amazing!

Peak design makes some incredible bags and accessories. This duffel is among one of the best and at a very good price. I took it traveling international and it handled being checked in with 40lb of stuff without a scratch. The thoughtful designs and features are also very welcomed. I would recommend looking at their YouTube to get a full overview of all the features so you get the most out of the bag.

I needed a large (check-in-size) bag/suitcase/pack for an upcoming 6-week trip. Being a fan of backpacks and Peak Design, I was excited to try out their new 65 liter pack. For the past few years, I've been relying on Eagle Creek's now discontinued Load Hauler, which, when un-expanded, was passable as carry-on size, but still packed a nice ~50L of stuff. So going into this, I was most concerned with how much more I could do with this 65L pack.To start, I've included several photos of the Peak Design pack next to my Eagle Creek pack, with both packs fully expanded. It is clear right away that the Peak Design pack is a substantial size (again, that Eagle Creek bag pushes the limits of carry-on luggage size). The fabric is sturdy and stiff and has a rubberized feel to it. The Peak Design bag looks nice, and not at all like a camping/hiking pack. The inside is well put together with several interior pockets and nice fabric. The backpack straps are nice and padded, and the hip strap is a definite must-have on a large bag that might carry a heavy load. Overall the bag is definitely more comfortable to wear on my back than my eagle creek bag, but not as comfortable as large packs by Osprey or other companies that have proper suspension frames.However, after spending hours playing with and test-packing my various bags, I think there are some issues that make the Peak Design bag less than ideal for airline travel, and I ended up sending it back.First, although it appears noticeably larger than my Eagle Creek bag, it was difficult to fit that much more into it vs the 57L expanded form of my EC bag. Second, I found the bag to be somewhat awkward to use. The fabric is very stiff, and the zippers tuck away into little folds in the fabric, which makes it difficult to access and use. It might loosen up over time, but it seemed like I was constantly fighting with the bag to open/close it. Third, and most importantly, while most travel packs have straps that can completely hide away, the Peak Design bag's straps hide behind magnetic "flaps" on the top of the bag (see my last photo, where both bags have their straps stored). There are two issues with this if you plan to check this bag with an airline (which is a must if you fly with it). First, while there are handles on the sides and ends of the bag, these flaps look very much like handles and I think most baggage handlers will try to grab it by the flap, which will cause the straps to come out from underneath (and/or the bag will fall if they try to hold it by the flap). Second, the straps do not completely fit behind these flaps. The bottom portion of the straps are always poking out (see photo). If you've ever checked packs before, you know that loose straps are very routinely ripped off by conveyor belts, so you really do want everything tucked away nicely. Some other brands actually include heavy rain covers that double as luggage protectors and keep the bags totally enclosed when you check them. That would be a necessity here -- I would not want to check this bag as I imagine it would quickly get damaged.So, while I overall like the bag, and if it were a carry-on-only type bag, I would probably keep it. However, I think this design is not great for someone who wants it to stand up to the rigors of airline checked luggage. I do highly recommend their products in general, but this one is a no-go for me.

I use this for work. I can easily fit a weeks worth probably more if needed and a nice sized toiletry bag. It’s expensive but so far worth it

Estuve 1 mes viajando por Europa y esta mochila fue mi compañera fiel. Es lo máximo!

Oh, Peak Design, your duffle’s a boast,But made by snitches who brag the most.Your zippers snag, your straps are weak,A rat-packed bag with a corporate streak.You sell me “minimal,” but charge me max,A duffle of lies in carbon-taxed sacks.For all your claims of peak perfection,You’re just a pouch of misdirection.
