Travel Backpack 45L, Black
The 45L Travel Backpack debuted at the Outdoor Retailer show in 2018 and promptly won three best-in-show awards. Why? Perhaps because it was designed to do everything for everyone. 2-week journey? Check. Weekend jaunt? Check. Daypack? Check. Camera bag? Check. No two trips are the same, so get a bag with the versatility to do them all.

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L — The One Bag for Remote Workers Who Travel and Shoot
The gist: A 35–45L expandable backpack that carries a 16″ laptop, camera gear, and travel essentials in a single carry-on — built for creators and professionals who move between offices and destinations.
- 16″ laptop sleeve: Rear-positioned padded compartment keeps your work machine balanced and separate from camera gear; large enough for MacBook Pro or comparable pro laptops.
- Expandable 35–45L: Compresses to carry-on dimensions for business flights; expands for longer trips or gear-heavy sessions — one bag handles both modes.
- Weatherproof 400D recycled nylon: Weather-sealed zippers and durable hardware protect gear in rain, across cities, and through airport security without drama.
- Accessory ecosystem: Compatible with Peak Design Camera Cubes and packing cubes — configure the main compartment as a camera bag, a work bag, or both, on the same trip.
Indie Traveller ranked it among their top 3 packs after 4+ years of use, citing “exceptional organization with magnetic pouches and hidden storage” and long-term durability — qualities that matter when a bag is your daily office.
Best for: Remote workers, content creators, and traveling professionals who want one premium bag for flights, client meetings, and location shoots. Skip it if: You need an ergonomic pack for sustained carrying — the harness is not designed for hours of walking under a heavy load. Runs around $299 new — check the current price, and consider the open-box option for savings before buying.
