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

Hands up who gets unreasonably excited about efficient and innovative ways to carry stuff? Those crafty, adaptable products that optimise space and arrange gear so that the thing you want is always right where you want it. Carryologists, we see you – and so do the folk at Peak Design.
Based in San Francisco, the bags, pouches and accessories that come out of Peak Design are proper marvels of form and function – streamlined, good-looking and impeccably organised. Founder Peter Dering launched his first product on Kickstarter in 2011, and the company still crowdfunds new lines rather than seeking outside investors – letting them take bigger risks and stay close to their customers. They love to tinker with their designs and they've absolutely nailed that feedback loop with real-world users.
And this urge to develop better stuff extends to the way they do business too. Dedicated to creative activism and social justice, Peak Design has full B Corp status, and as members of the 1% for the Planet scheme, they've donated over $4,600,000 to environmental causes since 2016. The brand even has its own dedicated supply chain sustainability manager, with responsibilities that include working with partner factories in Vietnam, China and the Philippines to negotiate fair pay and safe working conditions.
Serial award-winners at both product and company level, Peak Design were Carryology Brand of the Year 2020, with the judges noting that 'They really do it all, from excelling in product design, to sustainable business practices, social awareness and inclusivity.'
