Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L vs stubble and co the roll top

That's really great for getting the pack into side access mode while you're wearing it, as well as hiding the strap system, which we'll get into in a ...

Great looking bag and functional too! I cycle a lot and wanted something light and comfortable for my back with a few items in. I also recently took this bag to amsterdam for a weekend and it was great as a day bag and it held up nicely in light rain.

It's going to stand up to a lot. If you're throwing it in and out of taxis you're taking to airports buses, then it's It's going to stand up to the pu...

I have tried it while commuting on a bike and the bag itself was comfortable throughout the journey. Good stuff!

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.

Use the front access to get into what we call the organization panel in here. You've got a handful of separately zippered pockets and these pockets ba...

I also would have preferred the exterior zip to be horizontal rather than vertical, to ensure things don't fall out. But it holds more than I anticipated, looks nice, and works well for my daily workday.

You've got buttons that sort of snap this thing into place a little tough. There we go, and that sort of makes it a little slimmer of a profile. So th...

The laptop sleeve is well padded and easy to access, the bag is incredibly comfortable to carry, and I love that it is waterproof so I don’t need to worry about the contents. It also fits a surprising amount inside and yet doesn’t stick out. This was well worth the money and I am very happy with my purchase; I just wish they did some funkier colours.

So honestly, I think this is one major design flaw in the peak design 45 liter although I think it is also outweighed by the streamlined design and al...

Spacious, good looking, and sleek design - the laptop compartment is my favourite element of this bag.
