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 less time-sensitive shooting situations
Lightweight and wear-resistant ripstop nylon shell is treated with high water- and wear-resistant Carbonate Ether polyurethane coating
Lockable water-resistant splashguard YKK zippers increase security and protection for your valuable gear
Free-standing padded base features a lightly padded panel for protection when placing the pack down and allows the pack to stand on its own
Base panel features two ventilation holes to limit any potential condensation buildup inside the base area
Lightweight rain cover provides an extra layer of protection in wet conditions and stows in its 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
Can be carried using the built-in handle along its top or by its padded shoulder straps which can be adjusted upward or downward for a better fit
Removable EVA foam padded waist belt transfers weight to the hips for additional comfort with mesh sleeve to quickly stash trash and a gear loop for carabineers, ice axes, and even small tripods
Adjustable sternum strap limits unintentional shifting around the wearer

Improved Aired-Out Harness System

The "Aired-Out" system allows air to flow through the perforated mesh and EVA foam cushioning makes the harness feel comfortable and cool 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
Swappable shoulder straps allow you to install optional Shimoda straps for a better and more comfortable fit
Three torso height options with approximately 3" (7.5 cm) of vertical adjustment allows the same backpack to fit short or tall torso lengths, ensuring a custom fit for everyone
