Peak Design is shaking up the roller luggage market with the launch of its highly anticipated Roller Pro carry-on. Designed from the ground up, this suitcase is packed with innovative features that make it a must-have for business travelers, photographers, and adventurers alike.

Tired of the same old roller bags with wasted space and flimsy parts, Peak Design set out to create something better. The result is a sleek carry-on that rethinks every detail. The Roller Pro’s standout feature is the patented SlimDrive carbon fiber handle, which is super strong, slim, and perfect for maximizing packing space. That means no more bulky ridges stealing room inside your bag. Plus, its custom 60mm wheels are placed right in the corners to optimize interior storage.

“Inside almost every roller bag on the market, you’ll find a floppy fabric liner, and under that liner you’ll find two big honkin’ tubes,” said Peak Design Founder & CEO Peter Dering. “A plastic clamshell with big, fat tubes: that’s the easy way to make a roller. We chose the hard way. When we told our factory we wanted to redesign things from the ground up, they told us we were crazy. But, we pushed them and found a better way. The result is a product that is wildly more effective and delightful. Roller Pro has real innovation in it, and I suspect many of its features will become future industry standards.”

Unlike most traditional clamshell luggage, the Roller Pro features a drawbridge opening system, which can make packing and unpacking pretty easy, even in tight spaces like airplane aisles. And if you need more space, the expandable capacity (34L to 39L) has you covered. Other thoughtful touches include an integrated AirTag pocket, a stowable interior organization panel, and external carry loops for extra gear.

Peak Design is also launching a new X-Large Camera Cube that takes up the full space of the Roller Pro and fits a 400mm prime lens.

Made from 100% recycled, Bluesign-approved materials and completely PFAS-free, this bag is built to last and backed by Peak Design’s lifetime guarantee. Available for pre-order on Kickstarter until April 17, the Roller Pro will retail between $139.95 and $599.95, with full availability expected by August 2025.

This New Montana Hotel Captures the Poetry of the Open Road

Corner, Home Decor, Bed

In case you need another excuse for a Montana getaway this summer, a quirky new boutique hotel has opened in Helena, the Treasure State's capital. The Bell Hotel occupies the site of the former Bell Motel, a classic 1950s roadside lodge thoughtfully reimagined by CWG Architecture. Each of its 14 rooms features locally made chocolates, coffee, and artwork. While in town, ask the front desk about the Bell's Picnic in the Park package. The hotel supplies a basket of local treats and a blanket; Montana provides the sublime scenery and glorious weather. You're on your own for companionship.

Want to feel like a lad watching England vs. Norway in New York City? The London is where it’s at
The quarterfinals are here. The London's where you should be.
Flag, Plant, City

The last quarterfinal games in the 2026 FIFA World Cup are here. England-Norway kicks things off in Miami before Argentina-Switzerland caps the day's action in Kansas City. One of the best things to come out of the World Cup has been the atmosphere these fans have provided at each city they've visited. We saw the amazing vibes out of Mexico City last week when England fans visited. Before the game, England fans partied and went toe-to-toe with Mexicans at bars everywhere. I know because I was there at The Dog House Pub.

After England beat Mexico in a classic Round of 16 game, fans flooded the streets and partied. We celebrated with England fans until the wee hours of the morning. If you have a serious case of FOMO, you need not worry. You can still catch good vibes and feel like a lad watching England-Norway at The London, A Luxury Collection Hotel, in New York City.

There’s more to do in Napa Valley than just wine tasting
Silverado Resort is the ideal place to experience it all
Silverado Resort in Napa Valley

Tell someone you're going to Napa Valley, and it conjures images of rolling vineyards and wine tastings. Both are good things to be sure, but there's more to do in Napa than sample fermented grapes. And that's good news for travelers who don't drink, want to explore a different side of Napa, or simply prefer other pursuits.

Napa Valley's wine country reputation, while well-earned, can overshadow what is a legitimately diverse playground. There are championship golf courses, world-class spas, hiking trails, a walkable downtown, and some of the best dining in the country. And it's all easily accessible, whether these activities are the focus of your trip or something to squeeze in between tasting rooms.
