How It's Made
Side opening is ideal for quick, under-the-arm access without completely removing the pack, and the anti-theft rear opening allows wide, unobstructed access to the bulk of your gear for time-sensitive shooting situations
Lightweight and wear-resistant ripstop nylon shell is treated with a water- and wear-resistant coating
Lockable, water-resistant, splashguard YKK zippers offer security and protection for your valuable gear
Free-standing base features a lightly padded panel for protection when placing the pack down and allows the pack to stand on its own
Base panel has ventilation to prevent condensation buildup inside the base area
Lightweight rain cover provides an extra layer of protection in wet conditions and stows in its own pouch for easy storage
How You Carry & Wear It
Convenient side handle allows you to carry it like a conventional bag for easier handling at checkpoints and on planes or can be used as a luggage handle trolley strap
Handles on the top and base make picking the pack up easier and safer
Carry with the built-in top handle or wear with the adjustable padded shoulder straps
Removable EVA foam padded waist belt transfers weight to the hips for additional comfort, it has a mesh sleeve to quickly stash trash and a gear loop for carabineers, ice axes, and even small tripods
Adjustable sternum strap limits unintentional shifting
Improved Aired-Out Harness System
Allows air to flow through perforated mesh and EVA foam cushioning to make the harness feel cool and comfortable on your torso
Weight-distributing shoulder strap shape and fit help support the load—instead of the weight pulling backwards, like most common camera backpack harnesses, the straps distribute weight across the chest area
Fully customizable for the perfect fit, no matter your size
Three torso height options with approximately 3" of vertical adjustment so the same backpack fits short or tall torso lengths, ensuring a custom fit for everyone
