The new line-up consists of lightweight internally-framed 45L and frameless 25L daypacks, sling bags in two sizes and a variety of ultralight minimalist Packing Tools, consisting of pouches and dedicated Camera Cubes. The camera bags are offered in three colours: Black, Eclipse (maroon) and Cloud (pale grey), while the Packing Tools add olive green to the colour options. Peak Design’s Outdoor Bags, like their popular Travel Bags, are designed to work perfectly with their Packing Tools, providing custom-tailored packing solutions to all kinds of photographers. The two backpacks feature adjustable harnesses, expandable rolltops, removable hip belts, extra-wide access points and external carry tags. The 45L also has an internal zip pocket for protective storage of important items like permits.

Peak Design’s Outdoor sling bags are offered in two sizes: 7 Litre and 2 Litre. Both models feature a quick-adjusting padded shoulder strap with custom glass-reinforced nylon hardware that allows cross-body carry or waist carry. The 7 L Sling, which can accommodate a small mirrorless camera or drone kit, also includes a cord Hook Stabiliser Cord and two elastic Cord Hook Gear Loops for external carry. Sling bags can be converted into a convenient chest-mounted gear pouch with a padded drop pocket on the back panel with magnetic closure for phone storage. The internal rear panel features a multi-pocket stretch mesh for smaller items.

The Packing Tools are a family of organisation accessories that go inside (and outside) bags and can be used for everyday work and travel in normal and outdoor bags. They help to maximise storage and keep equipment organised.
