Overall a great bag, took it on a two week trip to Japan including an overnight hike up Fuji.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a medium size bag that can take a beating

Pros:
- Bag is great size and can easily fit my work 17” bulky laptop. But it does look big when fully packed so you won’t get away with taking it as an under seat option when flying.
- Waterproof ~ On the Mt.Fuji decedent it was raining sideways and the contents of the bag stayed dry, I did use the free rain cover.
- Load-lifters and hip belt worked great, and I like that the hip belt is is easy to add and remove. Top straps were use-full for holding spare shoes and jacket

Cons:
- The bag is quite heavy when not packed, but given it’s super comfortable to wear in fine with this. (Not sure it’s fair to compare to lighter weight hiking bags)
- (Kinda) ~ The load lifters, top straps , adjustments are great for when the pack is full, but they are a bit annoying otherwise as there is no where to hide them.

Really good amount of storage space ideas and areas, with plenty of segregated areas for different items.
Quality appears to be top notch, and styling is on point.

decided to go for it.
Have to say was more than impressed, its one of those times where the quality matches the price. The only nitpick is the hooks on the two straps at the top of could do with a couple of mm more as they can slide out relatively easy but it's a minor thing that in real world use would not be an issue.
Bravo to the designers, got the wash bag and one of the outer storage bags and they fit great.
Overall 10/10

The pack is well made, neat and smart. Padding in the shell gives it form and some protection for content. The outer appears hard wearing. I bought it to replace multiple battered old rucksacks so I had a smart carry on for work.

Negatives for this pack are:
• The two top straps that are out of place given its more business/ airport travel appeal. They seem overly large/unnecessary and when not in use the excess strapping is annoying.
• The pack is relatively heavy for its size and weight could be reduced to give more back for baggage allowance.
• The shoulder straps flap about when using a side carry handle. I have improvised bungee clips from the D rings to secure them but a much nicer system could be integrated into the design for this and the two larger versions (I have also done this for the 42L version).

Comfortable, well balanced and really good option for a commute or a small trip

Super design - light weight - love the colour

Wow! What an awesome bag. Unlike a number of other backpacks I have tested the straps on this are wide enough to spread the weight and be comfortable. Excellent amount of space inside - everything well designed and of a quality build. The top opening compartment is perfect to access bits when travelling. Weight evenly distributed and sits nicely on your back. All in all an excellent bag and next day delivery. In fact I loved the bag so much I immediately ordered the 20l commuter as well which has just arrived and is equally awesome.

Lightweight spacious and great for my needs

I bought it as a gift or my husband. He is very pleased with it , very spacious for a summer trip and ideal for going to work with his huge laptop! Great quality and design. 100% recommended!

Recommended - all good so far. Used as a camera bag, plenty of space and lots of utility

Three Peaks make really good quality stuff, and you can tell immediately upon unboxing.
Great size and functional style oozes practicality.
Previously bought a comparable bag from Matador and yet I’ve been very impressed by the Travel / Hybrid 30L.

Great bag, exceptional craftmanship, looks great and feels fantastic fully loaded

I have been looking for a while for a backpack with the capacity for a weeks travel that will be accepted on all airlines as cabin luggage.
This backpack fits the bill completely. Good quality with enough storage and various pockets for valuables like electronics.
Comfortable to carry like a backpack with the shoulder straps or l8ke a small case with the carry handle.
To give an example of the storage capacity I have managed to pack - 2 pairs of shoes, 1 pair of trousers, 2 pairs of shorts, 7 shirts plus toiletries, which is easily enough for a week away.
Excellent and strongly recommended.

I was struggling with a back pack that would hold astro-imaging equipment for a cruise up beyond the Arctic Circle between Greenland and Iceland to (hopefully) see the total solar eclipse August 12th.

I have other bags but was still not happy. I ordered the 30L hybrid. Today I was able to do a trial packing which includes a Seestar30 Pro, an Acuter Phoenix hydrogen alpha telescope with a camera, mounted on a Sky Watcher Solarquest, two tripods and a compact power pack for the Phoenix/Solarquest combo.

Though there is no baggage restriction on weight there is on dimension. Baggage has to go under the bed, 23cm headspace maximum. Plus optics need good protection.

Though more expensive, the quality is superb and well thought out. Plus I'm looking at this buy as an investment for more trips back to New Zealand...

Overall quality of the bag is good and storage compartments are spacious, accommodating more items than other bags of similar capacity. It’s also comfortable to carry. The RFID zip pocket in the rear of the bag is a great addition. It’s a good bag and I am happy with it but I have experienced a few issues:

It’s slightly let down by some of the strap arrangements. The top zip compartment can only be properly accessed by undoing the two straps over the top of the bag which is a bit inconvenient when you don’t have two hands free or you’re in a rush. They also tend to come loose and open if not pulled very tight, the metal buckles can fall down and swing around when lifting the bag up and down.

If the main compartment is full then it pushes against the top compartment, so when you open it you need to be careful your items don’t fall out as it doesn’t retain its shape well.

If the bag is fully loaded then the main straps weigh on the zip compartment to the main bag, the two shoulder buckles don’t have enough length to tighten them fully so I fear a lot of the weight of the bag is going through the zip which may disintegrate over time.

It would also be handy to have a zip opening on the outside of the bag, perhaps the top compartment, for quick access, when in the airport or travelling for example.

The rain cover is separate to the bag, it would be more ideal to be integrated to the bag although I appreciate this adds size and weight to the overall bag. But having it separate also takes up internal carry space and potential to leave it behind.

Love the top compartment. Spacious, well designed. Very happy.

Backpack is great, I wish the opening at the front was larger though. 6L camera protection case doesnt seem to fir in if there is a bottle on the outside of the bag either

Lovely design and detailing but way too heavy.

Really nice bag, plenty of storage room and organising slots. Very impressed

I use this as my gym bag.
Carry a pair of lifters, spare t and towel inside the main compartment which are then inside the boot bag.
Around the outside I've got a 2pood belt that fits nicely. Top pocket has various wraps, tape, skipping rope, chalk etc.
Pretty good for what I need it to do!

I don't like the mesh material that goes against your back and is on the straps, it just feels a bit low quality.

The hooks on the top pocket come undone easily; apart from that, the bag is incredible.

This is my third ThreePeaks bag and second in this series as I already have the 42L.
As with the other purchases I am extremely happy with the bag, using it as my daily bag for laptop and other essentials as I'd outgrown the 22L commuter.
Its more than big enough for eveything I need to take, with the usual features such as the laptop sleeve and other pockets for cables etc... very handy.
Can't recommend ThreePeaks kit enough, they are high quality and extremely well priced.

After much research online for an approved Ryanair cabin bag, and checking reviews I decided to go for the 30L travel hybrid in black. There was an added delay on delivery but I was kept updated. I’m yet to use it for travel but first impressions I’m very happy with the quality and overall size I like the top storage ideal for usb storage accessories etc. The material seems very good quality and love the orange interior hence I went for the black option. If I was to make any changes I would prefer the option to remove the actual backpack straps, or be able to zip them away! But over all the quality of the materials the storage and company ethos I wouldn’t hesitate recommending the travel hybrid 30l looking forward to using it for my planned travel.

I wanted an all purpose replacement for my ortlieb velocity commuter backpack, and the 30L was recommended. Whilst having the same dimensions, the 30L has more practical space and features like the laptop sleeve, top compartment, and straps

love the zip at back to easy access laptop and pocket at top for easy access

Excellent travel backpack. Great quality materials with a large interior storage and numerous pockets. Very comfortable shouder straps, even when fully loaded. This will definitely be my go to backpack for weekend getaways.

This backpack ends all other backpacks in my opinion. I truly have a cupboard with 7 different backpacks I've collected over the years and never throw any out. I may keep a much smaller one I have, but the rest are going. The front access makes it so easy to pack and get access to, and I can fit more in thatnother supposedly larger packs. You can also carry clothes which don't end up crushed and crumpled. I went for the 30L which is perfect for a carry on bag, but will likely also get the 24 litre for work and going to the gym and also the 42 litre for when I'm on a day out carrying whatever kit and food I need to cater for my 7 year old son. congratulations Three Peaks, you've nailed it.

Literally badass bag I have ever bought. Amazing

Amazing backback, no complaints at all.

Did find it very much on the larger side but it's perfect for travel :) would recommend.
