Peak Design Elevates ISPO Award-Winning Outdoor Line with Additional Carry Options
New Outdoor Backpack 18L and Outdoor Sling 4L add versatility to the adventure-ready lineup
San Francisco, CA (June, 6th, 2025) – Peak Design, a global leader in outdoor and everyday carry solutions, is excited to welcome the addition of new backpacks, slings and accessories to its award-winning Outdoor Line. Debuted on Kickstarter in October 2024 ($3.5M raised), the Outdoor Line prioritizes effortless access, modular organization and comfort for every body type. The newest add-ons–available for immediate purchase via PeakDesign.com and Peak Design retail partners worldwide–bolster these attributes, priming the Peak Design Outdoor Line for summer adventures both on-trail and off.
Peak Design’s Outdoor Line was developed to solve common carrying issues like poor fit, overly-bulky harness systems, limited access, and over-engineered ‘technically baroque’ designs. Originally Consisting of 2 Outdoor Backpacks (45L/25L), 2 Outdoor Slings (7L/2L) and an ecosystem of Packing Tools for clothes, gear and photography equipment, the Outdoor Line injected new thought into the saturated outdoor carry category and garnered top-tier recognition with a 2024 Design Award from ISPO.
New for this retail release, the 18L Backpack, 4L Sling, and accessories like the Helmet Carry Harness and Rain Fly bring added protection, lighter carry options, and seamless integration with Peak Design’s modular ecosystem.
Most notable amongst these additions is the Outdoor Backpack 18L (MSRP: $189.95)–Peak Design’s smallest and lightest backpack to date. Equally suited for day hikes, golden-hour photoshoots, and urban commuting, the 18L Outdoor Backpack maintains the same comfort-elevating harness system and running-vest inspired shoulder straps as its 25L and 45L predecessors but has been slimmed down with fewer external pockets and a single internal access point via a 270-degree rear zip. Sleek, simple, and 20% lighter than the Outdoor Backpack 25L, the Outdoor Backpack 18L still integrates with Peak Design’s Smedium and small sized Ultra-Light Packing Cubes and Camera Cubes. New Outdoor Line offerings also include the Outdoor Sling 4L, Helmet Carry Harness and Rain Fly 15L-20L.
The Outdoor Sling 4L (MSRP: $74.95) represents a perfect middle ground between the ultra-compact Outdoor Sling 2L and the more spacious Outdoor Sling 7L. Maintaining the identical features of the other Outdoor Slings–comfortable padded strap, and custom-hardware that allows for ultra-fast conversion from sling to waist bag–the Outdoor Sling 4L is perfect for daily essentials and minimalist excursions.
For burlier missions, the Helmet Carry Harness (sold separately) quickly and securely holds a bike, climbing or ski/snowboard helmet on the outside of any Peak Design Outdoor Line, Travel Line or Everyday Backpack, and the new Rain Fly 15-20L adds peace-of-mind against the elements when carrying the Outdoor Backpack 18L and a variety of Peak Design’s popular Everyday Backpacks (15L-20L).
“Our Outdoor Line offers the comfort, access and modularity we found lacking in other outdoor focused bags we’ve carried throughout the years,” commented Peter Dering, Peak Design Founder and CEO. “We were elated by the outcome of the Original Outdoor Line but the addition of the Outdoor Backpack 18L, Outdoor Sling 4L and accompanying accessories make the Outdoor Line feel truly complete.”
Peak Design’s Outdoor Line with add-ons will launch direct-to-consumer via PeakDesign.com and Peak Design Retailers world-wide on June 6th, 2025.
