For even more comfort, the back panel has been provided with a generous supply of air mesh for breathability and comfort.

A real plus to this bag is the way it opens - away from your body. This gives you easier and faster access to your gear when that special shot appears. This style of opening also provides a measure of security since no one standing around will be able to see inside the bag. The side zippered pockets are slanted downwards for both facility of use and to help wick away moisture . All the bag's zippers have handy pull tabs for easier use with gloves.

The front of the bag is secured with a strong buckle and zipper. This allows you to leave the zippers open and just use the buckle to quickly grab your gear, or zip the bag and leave the buckle open. Inside, the dividers are all padded and configurable. Store your camera with the mounted lens pointing downwards. It's a small, lightweight bag designed for the shooter who doesn't want to be saddled with an excess of equipment. If less is truly more, then this is a bag to be seriously considered.
