Product Information
Full details
The Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L in Blue is designed for adults seeking a compact, versatile carry solution for short trips or daily commutes. Its key benefit is the blend of rugged, weather-resistant construction with expandable capacity, offering easy access and organization. A potential caveat is that its optimal use for camera gear is in expanded form, and for extensive photography setups, the larger 45L model might be more suitable.

FAQs
What is the capacity of the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L?
The backpack has a compressed capacity of 27L and can be expanded to 33L (with the main compartment being 30L in its expanded state). It meets international carry-on size requirements.
Is this backpack suitable for carrying camera gear?
Yes, it can fit Peak Design Camera Cubes, especially when the backpack is in its expanded form. For extensive camera setups, the 45L Travel Backpack is recommended.
What are the dimensions of the backpack?
When compressed, it measures 53cm x 33cm x 16cm (21" x 13" x 6.5"). When expanded, it measures 53cm x 33cm x 20cm (21" x 13" x 8"). Always check with your airline for specific carry-on regulations.
Does the backpack come with a hip belt?
The hip belt is an optional accessory and is not included with the backpack. It can be purchased separately for added support.
What materials is the backpack made from?
The backpack is constructed from a 100% recycled 400D nylon canvas shell with a 900D bottom liner. It is also Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral.
How do I clean the backpack?
It is best cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents to preserve the material's integrity and weatherproof coating.
Can the shoulder straps be completely hidden?
Yes, the shoulder straps can be tucked away into dedicated pockets, allowing for a sleeker profile when carrying the bag by its grab handles or as duffel.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax (like paraffin wax) to the teeth and run the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Backpack does not meet carry-on size requirements.
Ensure the backpack is in its compressed state (27L). Do not overstuff the bag, as this can expand its dimensions beyond the stated carry-on limits.
Shoulder straps feel uncomfortable.
Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the load lifters (if applicable) are set correctly. Consider using the optional hip belt accessory for better weight distribution on longer carries.
External carry straps are difficult to deploy.
Locate the concealed pockets where the straps are stored. Gently pull the straps out, ensuring no fabric is snagged. Clear any potential obstructions from the pocket.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent build quality with durable, recycled materials.
- Highly versatile for various uses: short trips, daily commute, or as a personal item.
- Smart organization features, especially the top pocket and main compartment access.
- Meets most carry-on size requirements.
- Comfortable to carry with tuck-away straps and optional hip belt.
Cons
- Camera cube compatibility is best in expanded form, which might exceed some personal item dimensions.
- The 30L capacity might be insufficient for longer trips or extensive gear.
- Hip belt is an optional accessory, adding to the overall cost if needed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The backpack requires minimal setup. Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted for a comfortable fit. If using the optional hip belt, attach it securely to the designated anchor points. The external carry straps can be deployed from their concealed pockets when needed.
Compatibility: This backpack is designed to work seamlessly with Peak Design's Packing Cubes and Pouches (sold separately) for enhanced organization. It fits Peak Design Camera Cubes, but this is best achieved when the backpack is in its expanded 30L+ configuration. It meets international carry-on size requirements in both its compressed (27L) and expanded (33L) states, though always confirm with your specific airline.
Care: The backpack is made from a 100% recycled 400D nylon canvas shell with a 900D bottom liner. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this could damage the weatherproof coating and materials. Ensure all zippers are clear of debris to maintain their smooth operation.
