AIR FLOW MESH BACKPANEL

Experience unparalleled comfort and support. The backpanel features a specially designed mesh span and die-cut sponge foam to optimize airflow and enhance pack comfort.

"HARRINGTON" SIDE-HANDLE

The "fireman style" side-handle on the Adventure Pack was suggested by a customer Jennifer Harrington, hence the name. This was a brilliant suggestions and one of my favorite features about the Adventure. Makes for a grab and go. Also works amazingly well in "duffel-style" when shoulder harness and hip belt are removed. Able to support well over 400lbs.

LAPTOP AND ADMIN PANELS

Store and organize away. The admin panel includes a double-side laptop sleeve and a second pocket for batteries, spare parts and misc. gear.

SIDE POCKET SECRET POUCHES

Hidden away in the side pouches (the flaps that help connect the belt to the pack) are a set of secret dump pouches. Great for lenses, water bottles, cell phones, snacks, etc...

MAIN BRAIN "JUNK DRAWER"

The top lid or main brain for the Adventure Pack features three pockets. A mesh pocket on the underside along with the key fob pocket and main 'junk drawer" pocket. The mesh pocket works great for paperwork and it does not fold over. The junk drawer is the main pocket and can hold a ton of stuff. My advise is to try and keep it as light and clean as possible.

DEDICATED LAPTOP POCKET

The Adventure Pack features a big dedicated laptop pocket easily able to hold 17" screens. The pocket includes a soft velcro interior sleeve that divides the pocket into a front and back to allow for better organization and storage.

RAIN COVER (TETHERED)

Tucked and tethered away in a small pocket just under the front side of the pack is the raincover. The size of the Adventure Pack raincover has been increased for the GEN2 packs and is larger by 25%. This better accommodates the coverage of tripods when the pack is loaded out. Thanks to everyone that suggested this..

UNLOCK "DUFFEL MODEL"

Remove the shoulder harness and hip belt and the Adventure Pack is now a duffel-style camera bag. Now you see why the handles are so big :)

PASSPORT POCKET

Typically hidden away behind the jumble of straps from the shoulder harness is a small zipper with a very long pocket. This pocket extends all the way down to the bottom of the pack. A great spot to stash some cash or your shoulder harness should you ever need to remove it.
