That way, you know that when the other zipper is up top, it means the flap is securely closed. For packs that's around liters or smaller you have to have a short back (or find a pack that's really tall for its volume) to get any weight on a hip belt. A thin strap can still be quite useful for stabilizing the pack in high intensity activities. My preference for small packs is a strap/thin hip belt that's removable. I tried their protactic a long time ago and found it pretty nice (though I didn't end up keeping it).
Thousands of stores worldwide carry our gear.
Another nice touch is the elastic strap keepers that keep the extra slack in check. You can also hook both ends to one rail when it’s not in use, or you can detach the sternum strap altogether. The Travel Backpack 30L is a bit on the conservative side when it comes to capacity, however that’s just one of the many aspects that makes a travel backpack a travel backpack. One other important thing to consider is the harness system. Okay, the Travel Backpack in this 30-liter version doesn’t necessarily look like it breaks the mold. In fact, with enough toying of a camera’s settings, you could probably fool someone into thinking that this is the much larger 45-liter version.

Its straps distributed the bag's weight well on me, and they have a well-considered swoop design that helps them sit more flush against the (my) body. Crucially, the padding on the straps isn't so bulky that it would interfere with the swing-around motion to get into the side of the bag. Unfortunately, if you want the extra support of a hip belt, that's a $30 additional fee. I don’t need, or want, a hip belt for typical camera gear loads. To lug around camera equipment, I feel like there is better (and cheaper!) options.
Travel Backpack 30L
The smaller sibling of our iconic 45L Travel Backpack, the 30L is a rugged, expandable daypack ideal for shorter travel and everyday carry. Featuring a clean silhouette with minimal dangling straps, the all-new Everyday Backpack brilliantly adapts to your ever-changing gear, lifestyle, and environment. We’re able to lay a medium Peak Design Packing Cube alongside a small one. With the front expanded, it’s possible to stack another layer of cubes. Your mileage may vary, of course, depending on what clothes, cubes, and pouches you’re rolling with.

I can place my dslr or milc with battery grip easier in the peak side. For lenses if you open the back Wandrd has better compartment. Fits all the camera and lenses I need to travel with. I can take out dividers and add a PD clip to mount my camera while having a bag to fill stuff with while out and about.
I'm not sure it's worth upgrading from v1 to v2 but I wanted the 30L size for more flexibility and sold the 20L. I have all of the AW ProTactic II bags, the only one I don't really care for is the Messenger bag; too bulky and doesn't carry as much as advertised. But for urban areas, they look too much like a camera bag/backpack. For outdoors, crappy weather, no one makes better, IMHO. The minute you hang a tripod on any bag, your stealth goes out the window.
Each strap has a Hypalon loop at the top of the sternum strap rail, then one nylon loop at the bottom as well. You can attach a decent amount of accessories to these loops, and there’s even one on each of the aluminum adjusters in case you need more. On that note, aluminum adjusters always come with the risk of being too slippery since metal is smooth. Fortunately, these ones have enough grip that they stay in place after we’ve adjusted them. I can’t speak to the new version but the side pockets on my PD EDBP are plenty deep for water bottles. Plus there’s a (removeable) strap for extra security.

There may be a way to do this integrated with the bag, but, at the time of this review, we haven’t been able to spot it. This backpack features Peak Design’s proprietary UltraZips, which they developed with Zoom Zippers. These UltraZips not only look great (those beveled edges!) but are smooth to operate. They glide around the corners of this pack effortlessly—and that’s not something we can say for a lot of bags. Lastly, just below the side handles on the outside are low-profile water bottle pockets. We just dig how well they fit and blend into the fabric of the Travel Backpack; you probably wouldn’t notice them right away.

Accessible on the top and sides via a single weatherproof 270-degree ultra-durable #8 zip. 2 internal FlexFold dividers keep gear organized, protected, and not bunched at the bottom of your bag. Dedicated sleeves Fits 2021 Macbook Pro 14" (does not fit 16" model), tablet, or documents, plus a variety of internal slip pockets for small items. 100% recycled 400D weatherproof shell keeps everything safe. Expandable side pockets for water bottles or tripod. 2 stowable cinch straps let you carry more externally.
I have used the bags for years and twice I have had a near disaster. Luckily the lenses slid out on a bed one time and I just a foot to the ground as I was picking up the open pack one other time. The outside of the bag has two straps for stowing extras, such as a jacket, bike helmet, or collapsed reflector. These straps stash away in a dedicated little pocket when you don’t need them. Similarly, the side water bottle pockets have straps to stabilize a small travel tripod, umbrella, or anything else that sticks out pretty far. One even has a key catcher with a smart way of clipping in your keychain – one of Peak Design's own camera strap anchors, naturally.
I had a Lowepro backpack that had an amazing harness and belt, but it was much taller than the Peak too. If worn right the Peak with a belt is going to be wrapped above your hips, which is the wrong place for a load bearing belt to be at. But I find a good hip belt to be absolutely essential, and I won't buy a pack without one. The really tiny Sirui T-005SK T-0S Series Travel Tripod tucks into any medium-sidzed backpack so u don't have to hang it off one's backpack and advertise you've got spendy gear to steal. Granted, it ain't much of a tripod, but better than nothing, and doesn't cost teh $600 that teh excellent PD tripod costs.
