Five new travel bags built for photographers on the move
eak Design has unveiled a significant expansion of its travel range, introducing five new products under embargo for a March 3 Kickstarter launch and a May 26 direct-to-consumer release . The new line-up – comprising the Travel Backpack 2-in-1, Travel Backpack 20L, Travel Weekender 25L, Travel Crossbody 3L and a redesigned Travel Hip Belt – further refines the brand’s modular ecosystem for photographers who demand flexibility without sacrificing polish.
For photographers navigating airports, city streets and remote locations alike, the headline act is the Travel Backpack 2-in-1. This modular system combines a 34L main pack with a 16L zip-off daypack, creating a 40L international carry-on when connected . Crucially, it retains compatibility with Peak Design’s Camera Cubes, including the Large Camera Cube, making it a credible one-bag solution for assignments that require both travel capacity and daily shooting agility . The weatherproof 100% recycled 330D nylon shell and rugged 900D waterproof bottom liner are built for the realities of location work, while padded laptop sleeves and theft-deterrent zips address modern travel concerns .
Those seeking a more compact companion should look to the Travel Backpack 20L. International carry-on approved and expandable from 20L to 23L, it fits a Smedium Camera Cube and accommodates a 16-inch MacBook Pro . External carry loops allow direct attachment of the Peak Design Travel Tripod, a thoughtful inclusion for landscape and architectural specialists . With magnetic strap keepers and a discreet AirTag pocket, it is tailored for photographers who prefer to travel light yet remain organised.
The Travel Weekender 25L marks Peak Design’s first foray into the classic duffel format . Designed to stand upright when packed and fold flat for storage, it fits a Smedium Camera Cube and a 16-inch MacBook Pro . Inside, stretch mesh compartments and zip pockets replace the typical “black hole” of traditional holdalls, offering intuitive organisation for camera bodies, lenses and personal kit. Built from 400D recycled Versa Shell with a 900D waterproof base, it balances aesthetics with field-ready durability .
For minimalist days, the Travel Crossbody 3L distils the brand’s Tech Pouch DNA into a compact sling that can accommodate a small camera alongside essentials . Its origami-style internal pockets and clamshell opening maximise usable space, while weatherproof UltraZips and theft-deterrent details maintain security .
Completing the system is the updated Travel Hip Belt, a detachable accessory for the 2-in-1 that adds stability and comfort when carrying heavier loads . Lightweight and quick to attach via Peak Design’s keyhole system, it reinforces the modular ethos underpinning the entire collection.
Together, this expanded Travel Collection underscores Peak Design’s commitment to photographers who view luggage not as an afterthought, but as an integral part of their workflow. With sustainability credentials including Fair Trade Certified manufacturing and carbon neutral production across the range , the new line-up positions itself as a considered upgrade for image-makers constantly on the move.
