Athlete Camera Backpack by Atlas Packs – Slim, Versatile, and Built for Travel w/hip belt

I purchased an Atlas Pack as a gift. The quality is impeccable and it arrived earlier than expected. The customer service was amazing and responded to my questions quickly. I’ll definitely be an Atlas Pack customer for life!

Great bag. The bag survived a challenging trip up Mt Kenya. Conditions were bad and ranged from tropical to glacial. The bag held three lenses, two camera bodies, and heavy day gear including crampons. The bag stayed dry inside without the rain cover in medium to heavy rain and snow. Good as an international carryon too. Adequate camera access for safari and walking safaris too. Sturdy camera area with room for more gear.

Look in my garage and you'll see dozens of packs (camera specific, hiking, canyoneering, backpacking, climbing, the works). Over the last 15+ years I've had numerous camera bags and packs. None of them hold a candle to Atlas Packs. You want a pack that can handle whatever adventure you take it on? Look no further!

I took me some time to find the best camera pack. But I did it! I have two different Atlas backpacks and I'm in love. 3 years ago I tried one of a friend of mine and the next day I bought one. Next level quality and confort! I've travel to Alaska, Yemen, to the jungle in Sumatra and the beaches in Australia. I've been everywhere with it!

To the review, I sadly did not take a lot of photos of the backpack while shooting. But I have attached them here and I can only say that I absolutely love this backpack. I would buy it again and again.

Even for me coming from Germany with paying taxes to get it delivered. It just different to every other camera bag.

I had an old 16mm Camera with 3 lenses with me, an FX3 for backup with 4 lenses and one Nikon F3 for photos. It all fitted easily in the Adventure Pack. I even had it as hand luggage and it was absolutely no problem at all.

With over a decade of travelling to 100+ countries, I need gear that’s tough, reliable, and ready for anything—just like Atlas Packs. Whether I’m chasing sunsets in remote landscapes or capturing the stars in the dead of night, Atlas Packs are with me every step (and snap) of the way. From airport runs to rugged hikes, these backpacks handle my demanding schedule without breaking a sweat. It’s more than just a pack—it’s my go-to travel companion!

I love my @atlaspacks. It safely held all my camera gear while on these excursions.

Another great product from Atlas Packs. I already had the Athlete, but needed something bigger due to my expanded kit so enter the Adventure. It’s got a great feel to it, oodles of space for all of my gear, and is incredibly comfortable.

Love this backpack! So many ways to make use of it. I removed the metal thing so I can make the backpack smaller. I haven’t taken it backpacking yet hopefully soon!

I had an opportunity to take my Atlas Pack out on a steep trail and was very impressed by how it felt and performed. My Nikon Z8 with the 180-600 mm lens attached fit well in the large compartment.

I can’t tell you how many backpacks I have sitting around, so when I say this particular pack by atlas is truly amazing it’s from experience. The quality of construction can’t be matched. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness for photographers, especially is truly creative. This is serious pack built with purpose. I am looking forward to many years with this purchase and would highly recommend anyone that has expensive photography gear and wishes to travel securely to purchase.

Great for my Atlas Athlete backpack

I have owned about every kind of camera backpack over the years but the Atlas is by far the best pack I have ever owned. Not only is the pack the absolute best, but the service from Allan at Atlas Packs is top notch. After I received the pack, Allan took an hour on a Zoom call to help me get the pack adjusted and fitting perfectly. Don’t look anywhere else, this is the best camera backpack you will find.

For me Atlas Packs is the right camera bag. It fits great, is attractive, practical and lightweight.

Outdoor recreation like mountain biking, splitboarding and resort riding creates plenty of opportunity for abuse of delicate and expensive photo gear. I always struggled to find a pack that fit my big three criteria: comfort, packability and protection. There are plenty of packs that do one or two of those really well, but Atlas is the first to check all boxes for me. I’m able to confidently and comfortably ride bikes and boards, and have taken many a tumble on harsh terrain without damaging my gear.
