The top of the lid will be supporting your gear and that's a good thing.
Let's take a look at the camear gear and setup has with ATHLETE PACK: Super Shallow
Just to make sure I am clear >> In the Athlete Pack you can expect gear to sit above the height of the dividers and sidewalls. This is expected and normal. It's a super shallow pack!
You will find that when the pack is zippered close there is a lot more room inside than one can measure with a ruler. In terms of usage, you can expect tall (6in / 15cm) sized gear to fit. It's important to note that tall gear should be arranged so that there are no highs and lows.
If you do not balance out your setup, your backpanel will have a dip. When balanced out correctly, the backpanel is designed to secure your gear. The fit will feel firm and secure and flush against your back.
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.
