Compartments and access

The main compartment features adjustable high-density closed-cell foam dividers for telephoto lenses or personal items. The front pocket is expandable, and there is a removable floating top pocket. Improved top and side pockets provide quick access to small items, while a large zippered side pocket is available for accessories. Two side pockets with drains and cinch cords hold water bottles, and interior mesh pockets store filters, batteries, and cables.

Carrying system and materials

The harness features an 11-point adjustable torso system to fit most men and women. A shaped aluminium torso stay provides additional support and improves weight distribution. The sternum strap includes an integrated whistle, and the waist belt wraps to the front for compact storage in overhead compartments. Grab handles on three sides facilitate lifting into bins or cars.

The exterior fabric has a water-repellant coating with a polyurethane coating on the underside, using YKK RC-Fuse zippers. Materials include 420D Velocity nylon, 420D high-density nylon, 420D R/S Nylon, 1680D ballistic nylon, and 840D matte TPU Dynatonic nylon. The bottom panel is made of ballistic nylon for durability on rough surfaces. A mounting system for tripods or monopods is located on the front and side. A rain cover is included and protects small to medium tripods secured to the front.
