Peak Design Travel Backpack 30-45L Black BPT-RW-2

For the photographer who boards a plane in Berlin and lands in Bangkok, the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30-45L Black BPT-RW-2 adapts to every leg of the journey. It expands from a 30L carry-on to a 45L hauler, swallowing camera cubes, packing cubes, and a 16-inch laptop without breaking stride. The weatherproof 400D recycled nylon canvas shrugs off rain, while stowable straps keep it sleek in overhead bins.

Access from three points lets you grab gear without unpacking everything. The recycled materials and lifetime warranty back up Peak Design's commitment to quality and the planet.

Good to know

All external straps tuck away for a clean profile when not in use. The backpack meets most airline carry-on dimensions in the 30L configuration, but always check your airline's specific limits. The weatherproof zippers and DWR coating keep contents dry in light to moderate rain; for heavy downpours, consider an additional rain cover.
