“From day one, travel has been a primary inspiration to us as photographers, designers and adventurers,” said Peter Dering, Peak Design founder and CEO. “Living on the road is part of our DNA as a brand. We couldn’t be more excited to have built a set of travel gear that truly adapts to the endless variety of trips we take.”
