The reviewer appreciated the concealed, stretchy bottle pocket, but noted that its internal placement consumes space inside the main compartment. The horizontal luggage pass-through keeps the Peak Design Travel Backpack 20L upright, making belongings more intuitive to access than vertically oriented designs. The Peak Design Travel Backpack 20L’s upper pocket uses four stretchy compartments that accommodate bulky daily essentials while keeping them quickly accessible.
The Peak Design Travel Backpack 20L’s main compartment opens widely around the back panel, providing clear visibility and broad access. Its padded laptop sleeve fits computers up to sixteen inches, while the raised construction helped protect a laptop from impacts against the bottom.
