Reinvent global travel with the Roller Pro Carry-On—a hybrid carry-on with ultra-slim carbon strength
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This bag is seriously next-level. The SlimDrive system frees up space without compromising structure, and the modular internals make it the best roller I’ve ever used for organizing camera gear and clothes in the same trip."
We’ve wheeled through terminals and down cobbled alleys with every kind of luggage—but nothing handles quite like the Roller Pro Carry-On from Peak Design. Designed with obsessive attention to detail and built for pros who pack with precision, this carry-on compliant roller blends soft-sided flexibility with hard-shell security, redefining what a travel roller can do.
At the core of the Roller Pro is SlimDrive™, a custom-engineered carbon fiber trolley system just 7mm thick that opens up major packing space without sacrificing strength. A hybrid shell design pairs a Bluesign-approved 550D recycled Versa Shell™ fabric exterior with a polycarbonate interior for rugged weatherproof protection. With 154 custom components, from a Snap Tent™ laptop sleeve to 360° grab handles and replaceable wheels, every detail has been elevated. It’s intuitive, modular, and perfectly optimized for Peak’s full ecosystem of pouches, cubes, and camera inserts. Wherever we roam, the Roller Pro rolls with us—effortlessly.

Very sleek design
I only have two trips with it so far but my initial impressions are very good. The highlights are the sleek design and high quality feel. My favorite part is the clam shell design.

My new travel best friend
I love my new Roller Pro! Honestly, I love it so much I briefly considered kicking my husband out of bed so I could fall asleep gazing at its perfect wheels. The wait was long, but worth every second. I was so excited when it arrived that I booked a trip within three days—because how could I not take it out on an adventure? And adventure we did. Most of the time the wheels were so smooth I had to chase it, instead of dragging it around like other carry-ons. It glides so effortlessly I half expect it to win Olympic figure skating gold. It’s so functional it actually makes me feel dysfunctional. My old luggage is now sulking in the closet, wondering how it was so easily replaced. I can barely remember life before my Roller, and frankly, trying to think back is just painful.

Best Roller Bag I've ever owned
I love this bag. It completely meets all my expectations. My one caveat is the weight, which I know will be an issue if I travel with middle eastern carriers that usually impose a weight limit of 7kg.

Great Suitcase
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- One size
Like all the inside pockets and the ease of handling with the rollers. The inside up feature is really nice when travelling. It’s on the small side but that’s OK, I need to pack lighter. I also purchased the packing cubes which streamline the packing process. Highly recommend and Backcountry has a 20 percent off promo code for new customers.

Avoid! Poor Quality!
I finally received my Roller Pro on Monday this week, upon excitedly opening the box and checking the bag out, I discovered the expandable zip is jammed, the inner lining isn't correctly fitted causing it to bulge on one side and also come undone. Very poor quality. Peak Design customer service have ghosted me since I responded to their email requesting a video and pictures showing the problems. As a pro photographer, I have a lot of Peak Design products that I think are fantastic but this has left a sour taste in my mouth and I couldn't be more disappointed in Peak Designs customer service.

The best carry on in the market
I had to wait a whopping 5 months to get my hands on this bag, but it’s absolutely worth it! It’s the best carry-on bag I’ve ever had, and it looks top-notch. Plus, you can keep all your devices and important documents close and easily accessible. The materials are top-notch, and the carbon fiber handle and wheels feel super comfortable and lightweight. It’s also got some cool secret hiding spots for your AirTag and important documents.

Beauty and function
I bought this on Kickstarter several months ago. I was delighted to finally get it and found that like all my peak design purchases, it did not disappoint. It’s elegantly built and you could tell much thought was put into the design. Looking forward to my next trip with this on board for the flight.

I Love it!!
We were getting ready to go away for the weekend and to my surprise my new Roller Pro arrived! I love everything about it. So many features that make it convenient to use. The zippered pouches, the computer compartment, handles on all sides for ease of lifting. It’s great!

the Peak of Design
This is hands down the most ingeniously designed suitcase I've ever used. I'd like to highlight three key aspects: Capacity: Many people complain that the capacity is too small, but I don't see this as a design flaw or problem at all. As a carry-on, its capacity actually helps maintain optimal overall dimensions. In fact, the capacity itself serves as a decision-making tool—pack too much, and you won't be able to lift it into the overhead compartment. Laptop Compartment: This is what I consider the most brilliant design feature to date. While not entirely original, their execution makes me feel completely confident about my laptop's safety inside. It's secured so well that whether I'm rolling the suitcase or placing it in the overhead bin, I never worry about my computer. Carbon Fiber Feel: The carbon fiber texture feels absolutely premium. This company has truly mastered the use of carbon fiber materials. However, I believe the interior lining material they chose is even more impressive than the carbon fiber exterior—it significantly elevates the sense of refinement and feels far more reliable than the cheap linings you'd find in other suitcases. The only downside is that my unit arrived with some surface stains, and unfortunately, the exterior material makes these blemishes extremely difficult to clean off, which is quite disappointing.

Meets all my expectations
So far, so good. I received my Roller Pro purchased via the "standard" Kickstarter. This is my first Peak Design purchase...very pleased with the build quality of the bag. Pleasantly surprised by the space. It's visibly smaller than by Briggs and Riley "European" roll aboard bag but it seems to have equal if not more packable space. The wheels and extending handle are smooth as silk. I appreciate all the details - pockets, ties, tie locations, laptop pocket, etc. This will be my cabin carry-on that I'll use for most trips. The B&R is being assigned check-in bag duties to be used only when necessary.
