Travel Backpack 45L
A rugged, expandable, and brilliantly accessible carry-on travel backpack driven by a simple truth: no two trips are the same. Features top, side, front and rear access via weatherproof #8 and #10 UltraZips, which can withstand decades of use thanks to their proprietary abrasion-resistant thread. Meets international carry-on size requirements, but expands to be a 45L gear-hauler and collapses to be a 35L day bag, making it unmatched for 1-bag travel. Quick-access pockets for keys, glasses, passport, etc. Hugely expandable side pockets for water bottles, tripods, and more. Padded laptop + tablet sleeves. Main cavity is divisible into 2 compartments via a zippered mesh sleeve. Tuck-away shoulder straps and hip belt. 360-degree grab handles. Cleverly concealed external carry straps. All packed within a sleek, weatherproof 100% recycled 400D nylon canvas shell with 900D bottom liner.
Works seamlessly with Peak Design Packing Cubes, Camera Cubes, and Pouches, sold separately. Organize clothes, shoes, toiletries, cords, adapters, and photo/video gear—from a single camera/drone to a full professional kit—which you can quickly access from the sides or rear of the bag.
Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral. Higher price of Coyote colorway due to material & development costs (see specs).
Comparing to the 30L? The 45L is better for:
- 1-bag-travel for trips 4 days and longer.
- More access and organization options.
- Trips where you need multiple jackets, pairs of shoes, or other bulky clothing
- Carrying camera gear: better compatibility with PD Camera Cubes, plus dual side access.
