Travel is one of the most exciting ways to put your gear to use, but let’s face it, parts of it can be… inconvenient, to say the least. Case in point: packing. There’s a fine line between over- and under-packing for a trip: too much leads to the hassle of checking baggage, and leaving things behind can present its own set of struggles. As frequent flyers themselves, the team at Peak Design know this problem all too well. With their experience developing and crowdfunding state-of-the-art, incredibly functional packs, they’re set to solve the travel packing problem with their new Travel Line—a one-bag travel system that combines form and function in one feature-rich package.
The foundation of the new Travel Line system is the 45L Travel Backpack. Taking functional cues from their experience with their popular EDC backpack and slings maximized in an ideal carry-on size, each side and panel of the Travel Backpack is lined with features. Its core is a clamshell-opening 45L main compartment with generous space to fit the rest of the Travel Line system, accessible from either side and top access to the laptop/tablet slot. Expansion zips let you make full use of its 45L capacity as a carry-on pack, while compression straps let you compact the bag to a daypack-friendly 35L. You also get a full suite of thoughtful details like a front admin panel, grab handles from every angle, theft-deterrent zippers, hidden pockets galore, and even stowable shoulder and waist straps. Keeping it all together is the Travel Pack’s exterior shell made from field-proven and weatherproofed 400D nylon made from 100% recycled plastics.
Along with the Travel Backpack, the Travel Line also brings a complete line of packing cubes and pouches of every size and purpose, all designed to look and work seamlessly on their own, with each other, and with the backpack itself. From a dopp kit to a tech pouch to compressible packing cubes and camera cubes featuring Peak Design’s signature FlexFold dividers (giving you a completely customizable modular system for your camera gear), you’re able to assign a function to every pouch, organizing all your essentials for quick swapping depending on your activity and to ensure nothing gets left behind.
Whether you need a complete travel system for jetsetting or a highly versatile and modular system for EDC, Peak Design’s Travel Line covers all your bases and more, on the ground or in the air. The Kickstarter campaign just started so there’s plenty of time to pledge for the kits you need at the link below.
