It holds more than you might imagine- capacity is 2.5L but it’s only 5.5 x 10.5 x 3 inches small. It’s light in weight and made of 900D (D = Denier fabric weight) poly with water resistant coating. ![]() The HEX Ranger Glacier Camo DSLR Mini Sling has become my favorite for casual walks with one camera and a couple lenses. And they have two crazy camouflage patterns that are subtle and muted but very stylish and modern. Their photo backpacks are well made and a bit thinner back-to-front which, for me, makes them that much more attractive cosmetically as well as functionally. HEX bags are a bit under the radar and deserve more attention. Price is $259 and it comes highly recommended. ![]() There’s a pocket for a hydration pack with sip tube and a smartphone pouch. The padded shoulder straps are height-adjustable and the rig includes removable accessory webbing straps. It’s a multi-use backpack that’s built around Shimoda’s ingenious and efficient removable insert system, and conveniently offers rear, side and top access. The Shimoda Designs Explore 30, as the name suggests, is 30 Liter but is also available in a larger 40L configuration. The quality is absolutely second to none and the designs are stylish and contemporary-and completely comfortable. ![]() I like these guys because they design and build photo backpacks with the health and physiological safety of the user foremost in mind. The Domke Camouflage F-2 just narrowly beat its smaller sibling, the Domke Camouflage F-5XB, as my favorite EDC bag primarily because it easily totes my Fujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR zoom which has become the mainstay in my lens arsenal. You will appreciate the extra-heavy-duty hardware, durable shoulder strap (that stays snug on your shoulder) and the padded internal dividers. Made in USA, it holds about as much gear as I can lift – at least two DSLRs and four to six lenses, plus flash, batteries and a Ziploc filled with Cheez-it Crackers. Price is $189.Ī longtime favorite in a new guise, the $179 Domke F-2 bag is available in camouflage nylon and it looks incredibly handsome. Protected by a Lifetime Limited USA Warranty, the Peak Design Everyday Backpack 15L Zip is made of 100% recycled, waterproof nylon canvas shell that is DWR (Durable Water Repellent) impregnated, double PU-Coated and Bluesign Certified (confirming sustainable manufacturing of textile consumer products). The unit totes a 13-inch laptop computer or large tablet. It provides excellent protection, full access without removing it, plenty of storage space and it’s as comfortable as an old goose down jacket. The Peak Design Everyday Backpack 15L Zip has everything I expect in a photo backpack. Available in Ash, Black, Bone and Midnight Blue, it also comes in a 20L version (L = Liter capacity). It’s a bit smaller than the original Everyday Backpack and (for me at least) that makes it infinitely more maneuverable. I have been using a new Everyday Backpack Zip in the 15L size and I can’t get over how thoroughly useful it is. The fiercely innovative folks at Peak Design introduced some new colors in 2019 as well as some new bags. The following are in no particular order. Lucky for me, I’m looking at camera bags, photo backpacks and other contraptions built for camera conveyance-not droopy eye sockets.Īnd 2019 was a good year for camera bags! Somehow the bagmakers manage to continuously improve quality, style and innovation. I see more bags than the technician who injects Botox under the sagging eyes of Hollywood has-beens. A certifiable ton of camera bags crossed our workbench in 2019. ![]()
