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.

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.

Awesome travel bag
I was pushing it the roller through the airport with one finger. This is the best designed roller bag I’ve ever owned. Durable and well made. Great job on this one!

Classy, smooth rolling, roomy carryon
I was looking for a carryon that maximized the interior space and was not clam shell opening and this suitcase definitely fits the bill! The extra pockets allow for additional storage space in addition to computer protected pocket. It really is an elegant bag and I love the burgundy/purplish color! Between this bag and my personal bag I’ll be cruising Norway and spending a week in Scotland! Great for getaways and longer trips also.sturdy construction, spins like a dream and love the polycarbonate handle.

Wish this roller came out two years ago
Dang I wish this roller came out two years ago. I have a perfectly good carry on. But I went ahead and got the PD Roller Pro for the design items that PD put into it. It's the flexibility of packing that I sold me. As a photographer traveling is a lot harder now and keeping my gear with me is very important. Using the packing cubes allows for flexibility. the roller has so many cool features I dare say it's my last piece of luggage. thank you PD. No it's not the least expensive roller out there but consider it an investment and well saving up for. BTW my daughter really does appreciate my other roller.

Awesome!
I received my Roller Pro, have used it already on multiple trips, and love it for all the right reasons. In fact, I think it is so great that I hope Peak Design makes a larger, check-in version. Kudos.

Amazing so far
I got my Roller Pro as a kickstarter. This is the first time I took it on a trip and it has been so amazing. I am traveling in Japan right now so the Roller Pro came in very handy. I love that I can easily convert it from carrying my camera gear to carrying clothing for a weekend getaway. The thought put into every aspect is amazing. I really don't have any complaints.

Brilliant, thoughtful roller
Received this a couple weeks prior to 2 week trip to the US. Loved how the clamshell design really did make it easy to access everything inside, could be done while on one seat in an airplane. The front access was very convenient for holding passports, boarding passes, power bank and iPads. It makes grabbing everything easy from security check. The wheels were very smooth and hopefully there will be a newer version that allows you to lock them. The 360 handles make it easy to grab out of overhead compartments whichever angle you shoved it in. Shame the passthrough of my Tom Bihn Synik 22 didn't easily go through but that is not PD's fault regarding compatibility.

Just what I needed!
You're use might be different. I travel a good bit for work and I love the way it opens versus the clamshell style. The draw bridge opening makes it much easier to load and unload (I use the packing cubes) and actually much easier to grab something while in the overhead bin!
