Peak Design Travel Line Backpack 45L (Sage)

Easily the best bag for one bag travel. It's relatively expensive but the quality is first rate, has a lifetime warranty.

I needed a bag for weekly commute to week and after countless research I picked PD over Thuel because of the sleeve and the volume.Great bag, nice looking, plenty of room, many pockets that are useful and you can even hide the straps. Everything was great. The shape may suit someone taller but since I can't see it, I don't care that much.Unfortunately after my 3 days trip, both shoulder straps have left me deep red marks which are painful and uncomfortable. Considering I only carry this bag for less than 6 hours across 3 days, this is bad.You have great design onost areas, for this price point, please do better.

This is my second attempt to submit a review, not sure why my first attempt didn’t work - perhaps they only like glowing reviews. Don’t get me wrong, this bag is lovely; it’s clever, we’ll designed and brilliantly executed. There is however, an elephant in the room that should be a deal breaker for every sane traveler - this bag is unforgivably uncomfortable to carry; and as that is the core function of a travel bag, I struggle to understand why so many people just gloss over it. It’s brilliant, amazing, oh and it’s a brick that carry’s like someone loaded 70kg into a Kanken and made you carry it. No amount of awesome design and fabulous ergonomics can cover it up - it’s big, heavy and completely over priced.

Save your time and money and avoid this overpriced, unpractical, badly put together bag.

its an amazing bag, but dont trust the DOWNWARD facing magnet pocket for the extra straps.The straps will vanish.

I agree with the other reviewer. I got the 30L travel bag and goodness it's the worst travel bag I've ever had! It's so uncomfortable to carry, the handle is so uncomfortable, i was so sore and ended up with bruises around my shoulders and underarms. It feels like you're carrying a 70L bag. There's no inner buckle to hold your stuff together so whenever you open the main compartment everything just falls out, the side pockets for the bottle as much as it's expandable still won't accommodate larger water bottles. There are straps in front to hold a a jacket or blanket and those continue to come loose even after tightened. The handle is very flimsy as sometimes feels you're wearing the back side due to the ability to tuck it in to carry as a suitcase. Don't get me wrong it's a lovely bag aesthetically but not very practical for travel. It's pretty pricey but not constructed to feel comfy. I can't imagine having to travel with a backpack that causes me so much pain while carrying and afterwards. Not for me! Had to return it! I love peak design and have several of their products but this needs a lot of work especially in the handles, it needs to be well padded!
