Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L – Eclipse

A travel backpack with unrivalled versatility, access, organisation and aesthetics.

No two trips are the same, so the best bag should adapt to all of them. We travel to explore, for work, to see family and friends, to take photos and film, to relax and sometimes, if we are lucky, to do all of these things at once. Whatever you take with you, wherever you go and for however long – with the Travel Backpack, everything will be perfectly organised, wonderfully accessible and 100% protected. The Travel Backpack and the other products in the Travel Line are not only a precisely thought-out system, they also work brilliantly with all existing Peak Design products.

For everyone on the move. At Peak Design, we build things we want to use ourselves. Like our customers, we are a mix of creatives, adventurers, parents and travellers – often all at once. That is why we created a system you can customise endlessly, so you can carry anything anywhere you like and always have everything to hand.

The Travel Backpack 45L is a carry-on-sized backpack packed with the very best travel features (just as you would expect from Peak Design). From its default size of 35L it expands to 45L, or with the innovative compression system it shrinks to the size of an everyday backpack – 30L. In addition to full back-panel access for easy packing, the backpack offers dual side access, top access to the laptop/tablet and dedicated front access. Plenty of external and internal pockets, plus a divider with organisers that can split the main compartment. The comfortable padded shoulder straps and hip belt can be quickly stowed behind the magnetically secured back panel. Handles on every side, theft-deterrent zips, hidden passport/document pockets, a padded sunglasses pocket, a luggage pass-through for wheeled luggage and hidden straps for carrying items on the outside. The Travel Backpack has a shell of weatherproof 400D nylon made from 100% recycled plastics.

The backpack is complemented by the feature-packed Packing Tools, which offer endless ways to customise, organise and protect clothing, shoes, toiletries, small tech and photo/video gear. They are designed to fit Peak Design travel bags perfectly, and each pouch offers easy access, thoughtful organisation, durable materials and a consistently clean look.

The tear-away main zip gives instant access to the contents, and the internal divider separates clean and dirty clothing/laundry. The expansion/compression zip doubles the available space or compresses your clothes so more fits into the backpack.

WASH POUCH
The Wash Pouch is the ultimate toiletry bag. Dedicated washable pockets for toothbrushes and razors for easy cleaning. It can be hung up or stands upright on the washbasin for easy access in tight spaces. Its unique layout helps keep your toiletries neatly organised and always to hand.

TECH POUCH
Designed for small items such as cables, memory cards, batteries and other bits and pieces. The unique origami-inspired design of the Tech Pouch creates amazing space efficiency – pack more into less space while keeping everything organised and quickly to hand.

The cubes can be securely attached inside the backpack, with access to your gear via the rear or side zips. They feature a system of intelligently designed dividers offering endless configuration and customisation options. Thanks to loops and handles, the cubes can be carried comfortably outside the bag/backpack.

SHOE POUCH
The ultralight, weatherproof Shoe Pouch is ideal for shoes, wet and dirty clothing, swimwear and the like.

The Rain Fly gives the backpack (which is already weather-resistant in itself) complete protection against rain. The Rain Fly is made of durable, ultralight 200D rip-stop nylon, can be quickly attached by cinching its edges and can be stowed in the backpack's storage pocket.
