A padded back panel provides cushioned comfort, improved airflow, and helps wick away moisture. Carrying the pack is easy with the padded shoulder straps, sternum strap, waist strap and top handle. Sturdy zipper pulls may accept a small, optional padlock. Photographers can connect an optional Manfrotto PL Camera Strap to the D-rings located on the shoulder strap. This arrangement helps distribute weight more evenly and improves comfort. In the event of inclement weather, simply deploy the included rain cover.
