Little brother to the award-winning original

The 45-litre version of the Peak Design Travel Backpack won National Geographic’s best overall travel bag award for 2024, and this smaller sibling boasts most of the same features in a package more suitable for weekend adventures or daily use. Designed with a base capacity of 30 litres, you can expand it up to 33 litres to make the most of your carry-on allowance or compress it down to a more compact 27-litre daypack. Access to the interior is via a clamshell zip round the back panel, and inside you’ve got padded compartments for tablet and laptop, plus a variety of zipped mesh pockets. If the internal capacity isn’t enough for you, there are also expandable side pockets, plus a large soft-lined top pocket and clever stowable external straps for securing extra gear. A padded, adjustable backpack harness stashes neatly under magnetic flaps in the back panel, so you can streamline it down to suitcase form for snag-free travel. Your shell fabric is weatherproof recycled 400D nylon canvas, the zips are waterproof and abrasion resistant, and the whole thing is padded with ultralight foam.
