Redefining Luggage Design
The Roller Pro represents Peak Design's most ambitious project yet, taking years to develop with custom parts that eschew the cookie-cutter nature of traditional bags. It features a soft-shelled outer combined with hard-sided durability and adaptive features, making it ideal for both business and creative pursuits.
Innovative Features
According to Peak Design's Founder & CEO, Peter Dering, the Roller Pro introduces real innovation in luggage design. Key features include:
- SlimDrive Handle: A patented carbon fiber handle designed for maximum strength while minimizing space.
- Hybrid Construction: Combining lightweight materials with hard-shell protection, it includes a front pocket for quick access to essentials.
- Expandable Compartment: The main compartment grows from 34L to 39L for extra packing space.
- Cord Hook System: This unique internal retention system secures contents with adjustable cords.
- Sustainability: The fabric is made from 100% recycled materials, Bluesign-approved, and PFAS-free.
Kickstarter Launch
The Roller Pro's Kickstarter campaign is live, offering early backers exclusive discounts. Priced at $599.95 with an additional XL Camera Cube for $139.95, the products are expected to ship in June 2025.
