Peak Design 65L Travel Duffelpack Review

The Peak Design Travel Duffelpack surprised me in becoming my one-bag travel solution for my camera gear. It's also the most comfortable backpack I've used!

Bag Reviews | Peak Design Bag Reviews | Photography Gear Reviews | By Mark Condon

A duffel bag isn’t usually a photographer’s first choice when it comes to selecting from the myriad of options available to carry camera gear.

You probably associate a duffel bag with going to the gym, or as an ‘overnight bag’ for a weekend away.

Up until recently, I used a combination of a regular backpack and a rolling camera bag when shooting destination weddings. Neither bag was quite big enough to cram everything into just one piece of carry on luggage… which was always my goal.

Enter the Peak Design Travel Duffelbag – a 65L behemoth of a gear-hauler from the guys behind the Everyday Backpack, and so many other successful carry-products.

Elegant and ergonomic, this 65L duffel-backpack lets you carry all your gear and then some.

Would this duffel-bag-cum-backpack really be able to fulfill my solo-travel-bag needs here in 2024? Let’s dive in to the review!

Build & Appearance

The Duffelpack looks unlike any other backpack you’ll come across.

Peak Design seem to have taken a leaf out of Apple’s less-is-more approach to design of late.

The extremely popular Peak Design Everyday Backpack had a little too much going on for my personal tastes, whereas the recent additions to the Travel line (notably the Peak Design Travel backpack ), are more minimal in external design.

The Travel Duffelpack reminds me of an origami spring roll, with various folds in the fabric giving it a modern, technical twist.

I’ve always chosen black when it comes to bags, but this time I took a punt on the ‘sage’ version, which is closer to grey than green, and unlike any other bag colour I’ve seen – it really is unique, and I really like it.

The base of the bag (which becomes the ‘back’ when in backpack mode) is made from something called ‘Ottoman-weave Poly’, which is slightly glossy, and offsets the matt fabric of the rest of the bag. It’s also weatherproof.

As for build quality, the Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is a premium product which is built to last a lifetime – in fact, as with all Peak products, it’s got a life-time warranty.

Zippers slide effortlessly, handles are sturdy, stitching is perfect, padding is comfortable – this is a bag that’s able to take all the abuse you throw at it, and still look great carried on your back or by your side.

Exterior Features

A premium duffel bag that’s been designed to be carried as a backpack.

Part duffel bag, part backpack, the Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is a rather unique way to carry your camera gear, clothes, and whatever else you can stuff in its gargantuan 65L capacity.

In fact, the Travel Duffelpack is ‘only’ 45L in its normal state – the additional 20L reveals itself when you unzip the two zips on the undersides of the bag.

If the contents of your Duffelpack are soft enough, you can actually use these expansion zippers as a form of compression – simply open the zippers to expand the bag to its full 65L capacity, stuff as much gear as you can inside, then close all the zips back up.

Peak Design want you to use their ‘packing tools’, which is advisable since they keep all your gear so neat and tidy inside.

As for safely transporting your camera gear, there are 3 sizes of camera cube that can fit nicely inside the Duffelpack.

To maximise space, I prefer to use the 5L Peak Design Sling (reviewed here ) as a ‘packing cube’ of sorts – this way you have a smaller every-day-carry bag ready to deploy.

There are two large zippers that run across the sides of the Duffelpack, which open to reveal handy pockets, for iPads, passports, headphones, water bottles and the like.

There’s also a neat little ID card slot, which is almost too well concealed to be noticed by anyone who happens to come across your bag when missing.

The padded ‘flaps’ on the top of the Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is where the magic happens. Behind them, lie two padded waist straps, which can be released with a quick slide, before you put the bag on your back.

The padded back flaps neatly conceal hip straps.

While you may not ever need to use the hip straps, they act as additional ‘buffers’, increasing the already-decent padding on your back when carrying the Duffelpack in backpack mode.

The shoulder straps feature an adjustable sternum strap, and two hefty grab handles, which are intended to be used when carrying the bag in duffel mode.

I have to admit, I rarely used the Travel Duffelpack in duffel mode. The grab handles did prove useful once or twice when quickly grabbing the bag off the floor, but the majority of time I used it as a travel backpack.

Since its name suggests that you should carry the Duffelpack as a duffel bag (i.e. in one hand at your side), I was pleasantly surprised at how well it functioned as a backpack. I actually found it more comfortable than most other dedicated backpacks.

This could be to do with my height (6ft 4″), or the length of my upper torsos, but whatever the case, it’s an awesome backpack  – comfortable, easy to get on and off, and impressively durable.

Another highlight of the Duffelpack and what makes it so functional to use as a camera gear hauler is the extra long main zipper, which allows the entire bag to hinge open, much like a doctor’s bag.

This small design detail makes it infinitely easier to add or remove items to the bag, and makes accessing your camera gear a breeze.

The Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is actually a cross between a duffel bag, a backpack… and a traditional rolling camera bag, in the way that it can open completely to reveal the entirety of your gear. Accessing your camera gear with the bag laid out completely on the ground just makes sense.

Interior Features

The simple, cavernous interior is best used with packing cubes.

In stark contrast to the Peak Design Travel Backpack, which was a confusing melange of every storage option imaginable, the interior of the Travel Duffelpack is thankfully much simpler.

Two zippered mesh side pockets offer internal stitching to separate them into 4 separate compartments, ideal for lens filters, cables, batteries, and other smaller items.

There’s no official laptop sleeve, but due to to the cavernous dimensions of the Duffelpack, it’s not hard to find a spot for one.

I made the mistake of stashing my Macbook Pro at the front of the bag (i.e. closest to my back when wearing it as a backpack). This made sense from an accessibility point of view, but due to the metal internal zippers, the laptop lid suffered some unfortunate scratches.

Internal zippered pockets are useful but can scratch.

This could have been alleviated by ‘covering’ the zipper pulls when in the closed position using a piece of material, which is common practice with Think Tank Photo bags, among others.

I chose instead to sandwich my laptop in between some items of clothing, protecting it from those nasty zippers…

Storage Capacity

One week in Bali to shoot a destination wedding – 45L worth of gear.

My travel backpack size of choice has always been 45L, which is usually in keeping with carry-on luggage regulations.

Having the additional 20 litre capacity available on the Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is incredibly useful.

45L is more than enough to house my entire camera gear arsenal needed to shoot a destination wedding, alongside enough clothes to last a week in a hot country.

Then, if I decide to do some shopping, I can expand the Duffelpack by 20L, and either try and sneak it back on as carry-on luggage, or check the bag in, safe in the knowledge that it’ll come out the other end unscathed.

Ease of Use/Comfort

Straps are on the sides, top and front of the Duffelpack.

Getting gear in and out of the Peak Design Travel Duffelpack is simple and enjoyable. Being able to open the smooth-sliding zippers to reveal the entirety of the contents of your bag is a revelation.

It also means that whatever camera cube you choose to house your camera gear will be completely revealed – even if stowed at the very ends of the bag.

The best part about carrying the Duffelpack as a backpack is when you actually come to take it off your back – instead of placing the strap side down (like you would a traditional backpack), the straps remain on the top of the bag.

This slight change in usage actually makes a huge difference. Not only is it much easier and faster to slide a heavy bag off your back onto the ground without ‘twisting’ it the other way up, it also makes perfect sense from a cleanliness perspective – the part of the bag that meets your back always remains clean!

The more I used the Peak Design Travel Duffelpack as a backpack, the more I appreciated this. It makes me wonder why no backpack has been made which opens in this unique way too.

When not carrying the Duffelpack as a duffel or a backpack, it’s nice to be able to quickly grab it using either one of the side handles, or those found at the top and bottom of the bag – these were especially useful when pulling the bag out of overhead luggage compartments.

Value for Money + Discount Code

Peak Design products are premium-priced for people who appreciate premium quality and design.

At around $220, the Travel Duffelpack thankfully isn’t priced out of reach for most photographers or frequent travelers.

Since it can easily replace both a backpack and a travel bag, it’s actually great value for money, and makes for a sound investment if you plan to use it like I do, transporting camera gear safely as well as clothes and other travel-related knick-knacks.

Peak Design Travel Duffelpack Review | Conclusion

The Duffelpack was my gear hauler of choice for 2024.

When testing the Duffelpack on my overseas trip to Bali this year, I never expected for it to become my main travel camera bag of choice.

I fell in love with its unique design, looks and functionality, and am pleased that it can effectively replace two of my most commonly used travel bags.

Sure, it’s not meant to be a dedicated camera bag, and the lack of dedicated internal pockets may deter some O.C.D. photographers, but for everyone else, this bag has everything you need and nothing superfluous.

It’s understated enough to pass through foreign streets unnoticed, while still remaining stylish and functional. Just be careful of those damn zippers!

Wow it’s definitely a big bag. I have a similarly sized one I bought years ago made by Oakley that also has built in backpack straps. But they seem to loosen and disconnect quite easily so I never used it in that way. It’s probably due for a replacement and my wife and I have been looking at other bags of this style. I may have to jump this one to the top of the list! Great article as usual!

Thanks Tommy! Yeah there aren’t many 65L duffels out there that spread the load so well over your back.

An Ultimate Peak Design Travel Duffel Review (65L & 35L): Perfect for Nomads, Slow Travelers, and Collapsible Storage

When wandering, nomading, and traveling around the world, picking the right luggage can be tough. Backpacks are a comfortable and convenient choice world travel and adventures, perfect when you’re moving frequently and need luggage that is convenient to carry.

But for trips wherein you’re moving less, need more space, and need a more convenient packing approach – whether that is a week vacation at a single spot in Paris, or nomads on the road for months or years based in a single location for weeks at a time.  The Peak Design Travel Duffel is that more convenient approach to packing for travel.

Though I loved traveling around the world with only a carry on backpack, I’ve discovered that using a big duffel bag for nomading, and carrying a daypack that doubles as a weekend travel bag is a perfect approach for travelers that have more gear than can fit in a 45 liter backpack, aren’t moving much, and want a more convenient packing option than travel backpacks.

The Peak Design Travel Duffel has proven to be an extremely well designed and well constructed travel duffel, available in the convenient sizes of 35L and 65L, making it a carry option I highly recommend as “expansion storage” (the 35L) or a great main bag for nomads, large enough to comfortably fit their mobile lives (65L) all in an easy enough to carry package.

Read on to discover why the Peak Design Travel Duffel is a perfect setup for vacations and nomads traveling with their lives in a bag.

My Experience Traveling with the Peak Design Travel Duffel: Perfect for Digital Nomads and Long Term travelers, with lots of gear and time in one place

I’ve spent the last 5 years exploring the world in some state of travel – whether in a state of full travel backpacking hitting a country a week with only a carry on backpack, or as a nomad basing in a single city to work (and enjoy) and enjoy for periods while taking short adventures (and a smaller bag) on shorter trips.

For most backpackers, I highly recommend “one bagging” for world travel, carrying a single travel backpack of 45 liters or less that can fit on a plane , to avoid baggage fees, avoid having your checked bags lost in transit (it has happened to me), and discover how much more enjoyable life can be with less. Even if long term travelers aiming to bounce around the world and stack up countries don’t travel with a carry on, a travel backpack is more convenient to carry, for moving quickly, comfortably, and easily through airports, transiting frequently with your luggage, and being ready for the occasionally hiking and trekking adventure.

Why a Duffel Bag is a great option for travel for slow travelers, nomads, and anyone not moving weekly

Not everyone has the flexibility to travel so lightly that all of their belongings fit into a carry on backpack. Additionally, if you don’t need the convenience of how a comfortable backpack carry, then there are massive benefits to choosing a more open, yet weel designed, style of luggage.

In reality, if you are not traveling quickly, and moving accommodation more than once per week or two, and are unlikely to take all of your luggage on a trekking trip, then a good duffel bag, with the addition of a good daypack sized travel pack (like the Peak Design everyday carry sized travel backpack ) is likely a far better travel setup than a backpack.

Adding packing cubes to a duffel bag takes a huge, convenient space, that is easier to access than top loading backpacks, and functionally feels much like a dresser with drawers that you can carry over your shoulder, or backpack style for short periods.

For digital Nomads , a good duffel bag offers much more space, perfectly appropriate for the additional tech that digital nomads and remote workers carry. Personally, when I am in “digital nomad mode,” the laptop, extra chargers, hard drives, microphones, headphones, and small odds and ends contribute so much to my work that I can’t leave them, but nearly take up a backpack all their own – meaning more space is essential to stay productive and travel comfortably as a nomad. Because, when in my “work phases” I move less often, the benefits of extra space (in a duffel bag) outweigh the benefits of how a backpack is carried.

For long term travelers and Round the World Travelers, choosing a travel friendly duffel allows room for the extra clothes clothing for all climates and occasions (think Bali summers, Patagonian winters, and European fall) and equipment for all adventures (think about your favorite puffy jacket, a very useful sleeping bag, or your favorite retro 35mm camera) that make round the world travel slightly more comfortable and efficient.

To be honest, yes, you could “rent” a sleeping bag in Patagonia, or skip the 35mm camera, but in my experience traveling adventurously – think Laos, Sri Lanka, and Bolivia – the more adventurously you travel, the harder those high quality, niche items will be to find when you’re on the road. After 5 years on the road, I’ve decided it’s much better to take everything you’ll need to be self-reliant on the adventure than arrive and struggle to find that one thing you need.

The moral: You can take something with you and ditch it later, but you can’t find that something if its nowhere around. Going the duffel bag route gives the flexibility to make that choice.

Plus, you can always leave the duffel bag behind on your adventures.

The best adventures when traveling happen on “loops.” Think, traveling the coffee circuit in Colombia, hiking Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, or trekking to Everest Base Camp and Back. This means that you can always leave the larger bag and take a backpack traveling light for your adventures.

This is exactly what I did when I hiked to Everest Base Camp on my own, through Patagonia, and during my first trip in Bali. The first hostels I stayed at were welcoming and happily held my larger bags for me, for a few weeks until I returned.

So, you know that a good duffel bag is actually a great option for travel if you need to carry a little extra gear and won’t be moving as often, but what should you look for in a duffel bag?

More on My experience with the Peak Design Travel Duffel

I’ve taken the duffel on a handful of week long trips with my girlfriend wherein we’ve actually split the bag, using packing cubes, allowing us to travel with a single bag – and it has been great.

Our most recent trip to the cool highlands of Bali to a cabin workcation surrounded by volcanoes was the most trying trip and convinced me this is a great bag.

The trip happened all via motorbike, and the size of this bag, plus haul points and durability made it easy to strap to my motorbike, carrying all of the gear we both needed.

Not only did the bag handle all of the gear for two people for a week in the cold, but we traveled with the bag strapped to the back of a scooter and had the rain pour on us for an hour of the adventure. Now, sad to say, after an entire hour riding in the rain with the bag completely exposed, a few drops got in and got a couple pair of socks wet. However , I am still very impressed.

The outer cloth absorbed absolutely no water and the water that did get in made it through a zipper corner. I tested the bag later and covering the top zipper with a trash bag would have kept everything dry.

The functional design (haul points for strapping things down) made it easy to load. Quickly removable handles made carrying the backpack easy for the short periods – to the cabin here, and from ferries to our hotel through the islands.

The simple organization and pockets made quick access items accessible inside and out.

This bag is well constructed and built for life. I have overstuffed it, dropped it, and strapped it down abusively and it is showing no signs of wear.

What makes the Peak Design Duffel Bags great travel duffel options

• Backpack Mode Carry: A double shoulder carry option makes quick transport – through airports, briefly through streets, and on trains – simple and easy via removable padded top handles that double as backpack straps (for full backpack straps, consider the Peak Design Duffle Pack )
• Comfortable shoulder strap for easy cross-body carry and shoulder carry: Having a removable padded shoulder strap is essential, because you should be able to carry the pack hands free, easily, whenever necessary
• Removable top hand straps straps allow convenient hand carry for easy carry while wearing a backpack
• Just big enough for your needs, but not too big: Peak Designs 35L and 65L variants are two great options that will suit the “larger luggage” and “smaller luggage” needs.
• Water Resistant outer material throughout , with weatherproof 600D nylon canvas shell upper and completely waterproof 900D nylon bottom
• Tough materials throughout
• Sturdy yet lightly padded handles with woven nylon straps capable of handling heavier loads
• Internal pockets for organization and quick access without packing cubes
• External pockets for quick access to frequently used items

Now a duffel bag can be a great option for most travelers, however, it depends on the bag’s size and how you use it. Luckily, this duffel from Peak Design comes in two perfect sizes 35L and 65L which are respectively great for using as expandable luggage and a weekender bag (for faster paced travelers) or as primary luggage with a backpack on the side.

Let’s dissect the two options.

Peak Design Travel Duffel 35L Variant: Perfect for daily use, weekend trips, and to pair with a travel backpack

The Peak Design Travel Duffel 35l variant is the smaller option that is the perfect addition to a good travel backpack, such as the Peak Design travel backpack , or one of my other favorite carry on travel backpacks . Before I discovered the Peak Design’s smaller duffel bag I traveled with the 32L GORUCK Kit Bag quite the same way as expandable luggage I’d use with my GORUCK GR3 and leave behind on treks and shorter adventures.

The 35L is solid as “expandable luggage” that can be taken on as a carry on for your personal item (or “laptop bag”) in addition to a carry on backpack if you plan the sizes correctly.

Also, when not traveling around the world, this bag’s size, carry, and just the right amount of pockets for storing everyday use items in an organized way make it a great gym bag and perfect for weekend trips when paired with a functional daypack .

If you’re a digital nomad wandering and still want the function of a good travel backpack for long term travel and the extra storage for all of your comforts, air this 35L duffel with a good long term travel friendly backpack .

Peak Design Travel Duffel 65L Variant: A great primary bag to leave at your base for slower, travelers and nomads

If you plan to stay in one place for weeks at a time and occasionally take shorter trips out and then back to your base, the 65 liter Peak Design Duffel will be much better for you.

This bag packs the same durable build, water resistance, organization, and function of the smaller version, but in a package large enough to fit your entire nomadic life.

On my most recent trips, my girlfriend and I actually shared this bag. We simply carried our own laptops in separate daypacks, and both packed enough gear for a whole week in this bag, in an organized way using awesome Peak Design Packing Cubes . This trip was also into cold highlands of Bali, in an area called Bedugul surrounded by volcanoes, and where the weather got down to 60 to 65 degrees (~16 to 19 celsius) in a nearly off grid cabin – so we had to pack warm clothes, portable chargers, books, snacks, and nearly the kitchen sink. It all fit easily in an organized way.

The result was insanely convenient. I’ve decided that for nomading, I will definitely take the Peak Design 65L duffel as my “big bag” and bring a smaller bag for side adventures

Pros of the Peak Design Duffel vs. Other Bags

• Intuitive design, with pockets, haul points, and handles in all of the right places
• High quality and durable materials
• Stylish accents
• Perfect size for the intended use – not too big, not too small
• Buy it for life build

Cons of the Peak Design Duffel vs. Other Bags

• Leather-wrapped webbing handles, which can be used for backpack carry, would become uncomfortable on a long walk (consider the Peak Design Duffle Pack , with full backpack straps and padded hip belt)
• I wish the bag had two padded shoulder straps for backpack carry
• You will need to cover the top zipper if leaving the bag in the rain, as the bag’s design does route rainwater to the zipper’s corners

Quick Rating of the Peak Design Travel Duffel

• Function: 5/5 – Small details and great design make this a very useful and useable bag
• Travel Readiness: 5/5 – For long term travelers with lots of gear, the organization, size, carry options, and durability make this a great hauler for slower, longer travel
• Durability and Quality: 5/5 – With excellent materials and construction throughout, the bag feels solid and like it will last a lifetime
• Price and Value: 4/5 – Not cheap, but worth every penny, this bag is an investment and good value

Overall Rating: 4.75/5

Quick Verdict

For travelers that carry a little extra on their travels, whether nomads carrying lots of tech, or multi-climate adventurers with lots of gear, the Peak Design Travel Duffel is an excellent option for making your travels better and more convenient. Quality, intuitive design and function, and performance make this a bag worth its price tag and that will enhance how comfortably you travel.

Where to Buy

Pickup the 35L Peak Design Travel Duffel at REI for easy shipping, returns, and warranty

Extended Peak Design Travel Duffel Review (65L and 35L)

• Weather resistant build with 600 denier woven nylon water resistant frabric upper, 900 denier nylon waterproof fabric bottom, and water resistant zipper
• Detachable straps (hand carry, cross body carry, and improvised shoulder straps) throughout make for versatile carry (hand luggage, cross-body carry, backpack carry)
• Strap attachment point double as secure haul points for strapping the bag down
• Highly quality materials (fabric, zippers, leather) and construction (stitching) throughout make this a “buy it for life” purchase
• The bag’s design, tones, and leather accents add up to a very stylish look

• Single, cross body shoulder strap – padded with quick attachment hook
• Hand carry handles made of nylon webbing with leather accents, double as backpack carry handles
• “Haul point” loops at all corners of the bag to hook handles in any configuration, or to strap the bag down (to a rack or luggage carrier)
• Drag handles permanently sewn to bottom of bag, made of heavy duty tubular nylon webbing
• Long top zipper opens the bag wide for very easy access to everything – top opens to a full square, similar to a box, instead of just a slit opening hiding the corners (like most bags)

• 35L or 65L main compartment
• 65L main compartment fits several packing cubes
• 4 outer, side pockets – Waterproof fabric covered with weather shielded zippers protected from the rain + mesh separate internal organization
• 2 zipper mesh panel pockets – For quick access storage, easy to access when bag is full

Travel Friendliness + Comfort and Carry

Carry-on Compliance: Both the 35L and 65L duffels can be carry ons, if underpacked enough

With the standard carryon limit for most airlines being 22″ x 14″ x 9″, the 35L Peak Design Travel Duffel dimensions 22″ x 14″ x 10” make it a feasible option as a carryon when full packed, but you may need to under pack lightly to get that extra inch.

However, with dimensions of 30″ x 13.4″ x 12.6″, the 65L travel duffel will need to be very underpacked to function as a carry on.

However, both duffles are soft-sided and do not have any rigged frame, thus, could be used as carry on bags for any airline if under packed enough

The aesthetic on this duffle are simultaneously minimalist and timeless. Due to the leather and metal accents, subtle earth tones, and timeless, wear resistant materials (webbing, heathered patterned woven nylon), this bag is quite muted and stylish in an understated sense.

Due to its all around minimalist design, the aesthetic is almost timeless, and could very easily pass for a bag from 40 years ago or (possibly) 40 years from now, looking good in any time.

Thanks to that minimalist, function focused design and intentionally using high quality materials, Peak Design created a great looking bag that will still be regarded as a good looking bag a long time down the road.

Materials, Craftsmanship, and Durability

Everything on this bag, from the webbing in the straps, to the metal zipper pulls, to the thick fabric and hooks, feels very sturdy to the touch – in general quality and how its all stitched together. Additionally, using the bag under heavy weight, there is zero give in the stitching.

The materials and the craftsmanship level applied in assembling the bag add up to what I feel is heavy durability and a lifetime of potential use with minimal issues.

Specifications (Capacity, Dimensions, Technical Materials)

• Dimensions (65L): 29.9″ x 13.4″ x 12.6″ (34cm x 76cm x 32cm)
• Weight (65L): 1.3kg (2.9lb)
• Dimensions (35L): 22″ x 14″ x 10” (56cm x 34.5 cm x 26cm)
• Weight (65L): 0.9kg (2lb)
• Top Outer Fabric: Weather resistant 600 denier nylon canvas
• Bottom Outer Fabric: 900 denier waterproof liner

Though at $170, this bag isn’t cheap, and you’ll find plenty of cheaper options, I still believe it is a good worthwhile value.

The materials, construction, and overall quality make it a “buy it for life” purchase that you won’t have to replace anytime in the near future, and that will be a single purchase that fills plenty of needs.

For nomads and long term travelers, this bag will serve you extensively, and you’re better off knowing it won’t fall apart mid journey. Buy cheap…buy twice.

At $170, with the quality and function you get, this bag is still a good value

If you are a nomad carrying more than would fit in a normal travel backpack and need something bigger, convenient, and still more functional than roller luggage for adventure, I highly recommend the 65L Peak Design travel Duffel .

If you are a dedicated backpacker but need a small duffel for overflow storage, I highly recommend picking up the 35L peak Design Travel Duffel .

Best Alternatives to the Peak Design Duffel (65L)

Peak design 65l duffelpack review: a versatile hybrid bag that does exactly what it's designed for.

Peak Design's 65L Duffelpack is a high-quality bag with monster capacity, but it's not for everyone.

Quick Links

Defined by its size, luggable luggage, thoughtful as ever, who's this bag for.

We’re big fans of Peak Design’s bags here at Review Geek, so we were keen to take a look at its new monster gear-hauling 65-liter Travel Duffelpack ($220). I’ve been lugging it around for the last month and I’ve taken it on planes, trains, and automobiles. Here’s what I think of it.

The 65L Duffelpack (a word invented by Peak Design to describe a big duffel-like bag that carries like a backpack) is a big bag. It is not something that you’ll easily sneak on to an airplane as carry-on or want to use as your go-to everyday bag—it just has too much bulk capacity.

Instead, it’s for when you need to haul about a lot of gear, whether that means taking your cookbook collection to your girlfriend’s new apartment (#realworldtesting) or heading off on a ski weekend. It would work as a gym bag for something with a fair bit of kit like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but generally speaking, this is a bag for when you need to carry a lot of stuff on an occasional basis.

Handily, the Duffelpack’s standard capacity is actually 45 liters which keeps it a more manageable size when you’re not carrying crazy amounts of stuff. By keeping the full-size optional, Peak Design has made the bag a lot more versatile. Leave the bag at its smaller size and, if you go off on a week away, you won’t have a lot of empty space. On the other hand, if you need to bring a lot of cold weather gear, unzip the two expansion zips on the sides and you get that extra 20 liters of storage capacity. This is what takes it from a merely big bag to a monster.

But the Duffelpack’s size doesn’t come without its quirks. Depending on what you’re packing, the Duffelpack can get heavy quickly. It’s easy to fit well over 50 pounds of stuff into its 60 liters. We’ll look at how it carries properly in a moment but it’s worth noting for now that if you’re looking to carry weighty equipment, you could easily overpack the bag beyond your ability to use it.

At the other end of things, 65 liters is big for a backpack, but it’s significantly smaller than many non-carry-on drag-along suitcases. A medium one of those starts at around 80 liters and they can go up to over 140 liters. I had no problem traveling with the Duffelpack but I was packing for just me (and had a separate bag for my skis and ski boots). Two people could live out of it for a sun holiday, but your entire family’s ski wardrobe is unlikely to fit. I think it’s a great size for one person traveling with a gear-heavy hobby, but it’s certainly not the biggest bag you can fit on a plane.

The Duffelpack’s big selling point is that it carries like a backpack but packs (and unpacks) as easily as a duffel or suitcase. You can get hiking backpacks that will carry better but getting your gear in and out is a chore. Similarly, you can get bigger roller suitcases—but they can’t be comfortably carried on your back. So, does it work as claimed?

The Duffelpack has two shoulder straps, a waist belt, and a sternum strap. So far, so backpack. But it has a double zip that runs the entire length of the bag and is designed to sit open giving you easy access into the entire bag. Like a duffel. In this sense, it really works as expected—just with a few caveats.

The Duffelpack is unstructured. It opens into a cavernous hole to throw your gear into; there’s no frame that makes it keep its shape when you carry it. The straps are riveted onto the soft sides of the bag (although they can stow away behind two magnetic panels, a bit of a Peak Design hallmark). This means you have to be quite careful with how you pack the bag as it’s easy to end up with an unevenly weighted, lumpy load that digs into your back.

However, no matter how uneven or lumpy, it is much easier to carry than a suitcase. I was very glad for the backpack straps when walking over snow and ice, and navigating French train stations last month. It wouldn’t have been comfortable to carry fully loaded on a long backpacking trip, but it isn’t really meant to be. It’s an odd hybrid that works as intended.

As with any Peak Design, it’s the thoughtful touches where the bag really shines. The designers have clearly thought (and over-thought) about the bag a lot.

The two additional external and internal pockets are handy for stashing keys, passports, and other small bits, without taking away from the bag’s carrying ability. You won’t neatly sort your everyday carry into them, but they make organization a little easier.

The Duffelpack has a 600D nylon canvas outer. It’s weatherproof so a bit of snow or rain isn’t going to affect anything you have inside. Just don’t leave it to sit in a puddle.

There are convenient grab handle on the sides, ends, and top of the bag. These make it easier to toss the bag about and position it while loading a car.

Peak Design’s Travel Packing Tools play nice with the Duffelpack. It fits up to 4 units of Packing or Camera cubes. Using the Packing Tools goes a long way to controlling how the load stays put in the bag.

In perhaps my favorite touch, the interior of the pack is a light gray which makes it easy to see what’s in there. A darker fabric would make it easier to lose small items in shadowy corners.

There are two questions I’ve had to consider with this review: is the Duffelpack any good, and who’s it for?

The first is easy to answer. Yes, the Duffelpack’s a great bag. It’s as well made and thoughtfully designed as any of Peak Design’s other products. There are no glaring flaws or downsides that don’t come from deliberate design decisions. Sure, it doesn’t carry quite as well as a hiking backpack, but it packs much better—and it’s way easier to carry than a suitcase. I can’t dock points because it does exactly what it’s meant to.

Harry Guinness

Which is kind of the answer to the second question. The Duffelpack sits at the intersection of a few categories. It’s bigger than standard travel backpacks, easier to carry than regular duffel bags, and better for access than hiking packs. If you want something that’s better for carrying lots of gear over rough ground or tight crowds than a suitcase but easier to live out of than a backpack, it might be for you. On the other hand, it’s definitely not the bag I’d take on a multi-day hike or use if I was packing for a family of four.

There’s also the price to consider. At $219.95, it’s not cheap and is at the slightly high-end (as all Peak Design’s products are) of equivalent bags, but it’s also not an unreasonable price for a great bag. There are plenty of worse suitcases with better-known labels for a lot more money.

Personally, I’ve loved the Duffelpack and I’ll be getting a lot more use out of it in the future. It’s a great size for hauling all (or most) of my gear for adventurous trips away but still easy to carry. It’s definitely not an every day bag, but it’s not meant to be. For that, there’s the 35 liter duffel .
