Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L in Black - BTR-30-BK-2

Peak Design BTR-30-BK-2 Travel Backpack 30L in Black

No two trips are the same, and the Peak Design Travel Backpack 30L in Black, model BTR-30-BK-2, is built to adapt. This rugged, expandable daypack moves easily between everyday carry, commuting, work and trips of about three days or less. A full rear hatch opens the main compartment wide, making it easier to arrange a load and reach packed gear. Expansion zippers let the bag compress to 27L for lighter days or grow to 33L when the itinerary demands more. Both configurations meet international carry-on size requirements, helping streamline air travel.¹

Purposeful organization keeps daily essentials and travel gear separated without slowing you down. The enlarged top pocket combines soft-lined, stretch and zippered storage for frequently used items, while interior mesh pockets help divide the main compartment. Padded sleeves protect a laptop up to 16 in and a tablet up to 10 in. Expandable side pockets accommodate bottles, tripods and trekking poles, and two included Cord Hook straps let you attach bulky equipment outside the pack. When those straps are not needed, they disappear beneath a magnetic flap for a cleaner profile.

The carrying system is designed for comfort in daily use and convenient transitions through airports and transit hubs. Axial shoulder-strap attachments adapt to different body types, padded straps help distribute the load, and the included sternum strap adds support. Shoulder and sternum straps can be stowed, a luggage pass-through connects the bag to roller luggage, and grab handles around the pack provide multiple ways to lift it. A weatherproof 100% recycled 400D nylon shell, waterproof 900D bottom liner, padded foam structure and reinforced stress points prepare the backpack for repeated travel, while the abrasion-resistant UHMPE thread in its number 10 UltraZip supports lasting zipper performance.

Key Features

Small Essentials, Easy to Find

The generous top storage area gives keys, glasses and a passport dedicated places instead of leaving them loose with larger gear. Stretch dividers, secure zip compartments and a high-visibility grey interior help make quick retrieval more intuitive.

Travel Details That Work in Transit

Theft-deterrent zipper pulls add security while moving through busy terminals, and a protected holder keeps the luggage tag accessible without leaving it exposed. The roller-bag pass-through and straps that tuck away also help create a tidier setup between carrying modes.

Concealed Carry for Oversized Gear

Bulky items that do not fit inside can be lashed to the exterior with the pair of Cord Hook straps. Their hidden storage beneath a magnetic flap keeps the attachment system out of the way until the trip calls for it.

Comfort That Adapts

Axial attachment points allow the shoulder harness to accommodate a range of body types. Padding around the shoulder straps and support from the sternum strap work together to make a packed load more manageable.

Weatherproof, Reinforced Materials

The recycled Versa Shell fabric is DWR impregnated and double poly coated, with a waterproof 900D liner reinforcing the bottom. Anodized aluminum, glass-reinforced nylon hardware, Hypalon zipper pulls and strengthened high-stress areas add durability for frequent use.

Optional Camera Organization

Add up to a Large Peak Design Camera Cube to configure the 30L backpack for photography equipment while retaining rear access.²
