This bag is amazing!!! Honestly, they engineered the heck out of this thing - the details they’ve included are phenomenal, all the way down to how the rain cover snaps around the straps. It’s also wonderfully customizeable and the durability is awesome. The one downside I’ve found so far is that it’s been heavier than expected. I don’t know the comparable weight for other bags so take that critique with a grain of salt.

Bought this bag for a two week overseas trip. Needed a camera bag that would be functional as well as protect my camera and since I would be carrying it around everywhere looks also mattered. By looks I mean astethics and not looking like I was carrying around a camera bag. This bag lived up to all my expectations. The 10 was a perfect size. Big enough to fit a DSLR and IPad, but not clunky or obtrusive. I was also putting in a few other random things including gloves, beanie, headphones, portable charger, cables, passport, small book, random papers, and a few other small items. Also a small water bottle would fit on the outside mesh pocket. What I liked about the interior is the compartments. You have a large interior pocket that has a zipper and outside that there are five different sized pockets. If you open the rear exterior zipper there are 3 compartments there, one fit a passport perfectly which made it convenient for airports where you need quick access. There is also a smaller front zippered pocket which is good for change, etc. the only modification I would make on the bag would be that next to that front zippered pocket (where it says Tenba) is a sealed section. If possible I would make that an open pocket, no zipper. Would be good to store receipts or other small non secure items. I did put the bag through a very important test, by accident. If dropped from a 5 foot height onto a tile floor with a dslr it will make a very loud thud, but outside of that a dslr and iPad will come away unscathed. The bag was on a rather feeble hook and the second I turned away it gave way. I should have known better, but after testing my camera and iPad I felt at ease that this bag offered protection worthy of its price and claims. I would think this bag could hold all the camera items they claim, but camera wise I was only carrying a Nikon D7200 with an attached 18-140. Overall I highly recommend this bag for travel and everyday use. If I was carrying lots of lenses or equipment I'd likely move up to a larger bag in this series.

Great Bag
By Elizabeth E.
The build of the bag is great. I have two lens, a flash and my camera. I should have went with a bigger bag. I will definitely be buying a bigger one.
The Messenger DNA bag was designed to deliver the kind of year-round, all-weather, rugged performance of a true bike messenger bag, but with an interior that's tuned to protect delicate cameras, lenses and computer gear. This bag boasts features only available from Tenba, like Fidlock patented magnetic clips, exclusive Quiet Hook & Loop Closure, multiple forms of weather-proofing and their signature Quick Access zipper and body armor base panel. They aren't exaggerating when they say there is no other bag like this in the world.
The DNA 10 was built to accommodate either a mirrorless camera with 3-5 lenses or a DSLR with 2-3 lenses. The rear padded sleeve will hold an iPad (or similar sized tablet). There are tons of other amazing reasons to love this bag.
Special Whisper Hook closure enables flap to be opened with nearly silent operation by pulling down before pulling away from the bag.c
Fidlock patented magnetic clips allow easy drop-on attachment and fast slide release. This is the quickest clip in the world. It can be opened and closed with one hand, even when wearing gloves or when the bag is behind you
Adjustable security strap connects to D-rings on the back of bag, anchoring it in position and preventing the bag from sliding forward while riding a bicycle or scooter
Quick Access top zipper allows secure exchange of cameras and lenses without opening the front flap
Front flap extends over the bag and has a sewn hinge to ensure easy closure and excellent weatherproof coverage at the corners
Included WeatherWrap rain cover is removable and reversible, with silver on one side to reflect the sun and black on the other side for stealth
Elasticized micro-mesh pockets provide quick storage for a water bottle on the outside of the bag
Zippered pocket in the main flap provides out-of-sight, out-of-mind secure storage for important items like a mobile phone and keys
Shoulder strap combines smooth-sliding seatbelt webbing and a flexible, non-slip shoulder pad. Silicone-treated non-slip pad grips the shoulder while the seatbelt webbing slides through smoothly, making it easy to move from the bag from front to back
Removable padded camera insert protects a mirrorless camera with 3-5 lenses or a DSLR with 2-3 lenses, plus flash and accessories
Padded camera insert slides out to convert the bag for general-purpose, non-photo use
Rear padded sleeve fits an iPad or similar sized tablet. A velcro retaining strap covers the sleeve for security
Rear trolley strap slides over the extending handle of rolling luggage or equipment case for secure piggyback travel
Tenba's exclusive water- and abrasion-resistant body armor base panel protects the bag on wet and/or dirty surfaces and is easy to wipe clean
Rear pocket fits magazines or documents and includes smaller interior pockets for pens and accessories
Tons of pockets and compartments to keep batteries, cables, chargers, pens and business cards organized
Exterior: 600 denier Helix with a durable water repellant coating, seatbelt-grade webbing, waterproof tarpaulin bottom panel, Whisper Hook
Interior: Lightweight ripstop nylon and soft, brushed tricot
Hardware: Fidlock clips, YKK zippers, contoured zipper pulls and welded steel D-rings
YKK Zippers
YKK makes the best zippers in the world. Period. They are more reliable over a longer period of time and they withstand the stress of heavy equipment and the abuses of travel. And they only use the self-healing zippers with specially designed zipper coils that easily reconnect if they separate from over-packing.
