Bags within bags, the Peak Designs 45L Travel Backpack has the organized photographer in mind. We took this Best in Show winner on planes and around town for this first look review.
A few weeks ago, Peak Designs sent us an early sample of the upcoming 45L Travel Backpack — their newest bag that raised $5.2mil on Kickstarter. In that time, we’ve packed it, organized it, and stuffed it in overhead compartments on cross-country travel.
These packs boast a wealth of internal, adjustable organization and retails for $300.
In short: This pack impressed us before we ever tried it out, as it won GearJunkie’s Best In Show award at this year’s Outdoor Retailer Summer Market. After a few weeks’ use, we stand behind the selection. Peak Designs clearly put a lot of thought into all the little details here, with photographers at the forefront. It’s a great travel option with loads of customizable organization. The only drawback is size — it’s heavy for an everyday pack and may be larger than some users need.
