MindShift Gear PhotoCross 13 Sling Backpack - Orange Ember (M423)

The PhotoCross 13 Sling Backpack is designed to fit snugly while walking, but can be moved from the back to the front for easy access to the camera compartment. Access to the camera compartment is provided by the top flap with a 180° zipper. Inside this flap are two zippered pockets that can be used to store camera batteries, memory cards or other accessories. The main camera compartment has a pocket for a 13" laptop, and four adjustable, removable dividers allow you to customize the interior space of the compartment to suit the specific dimensions of your photography equipment.

There is also an accessible additional zippered pocket between the camera compartment and the front panel of the backpack. This pocket can be used as a convenient place for books, notepads, snacks or light clothing. Its zipper, like the zipper of the compartment under the camera, has a large T-shaped hardware. When these zippers are in the closed position, their hardware is adjacent to each other to each other and can be connected together for additional protection of the contents of the entire backpack.

In addition to the classic carrying option, PhotoCross 13 can also be carried using an integrated top handle as well as an integrated side handle. In the classic version there is an adjustable shoulder strap passes over the user's left shoulder, down the torso, and connects to the lower wide nylon insert, the so-called "stability wing", which rests on the right thigh. The "stability wing" helps distribute weight more comfortably and, like the shoulder strap along with the outer surface of the back of the backpack, has elastic, breathable, three-dimensional mesh padding. The upholstery is cushioning and its structure optimizes air circulation, minimizing perspiration at contact points.

Also, for a better fit of the backpack, a waist belt is provided. When used with the shoulder strap and lower wide nylon insert, the waist strap helps form a three-point lock that prevents the pack from unintentionally moving around the user, such as when driving over uneven terrain.
Along the back of the backpack from its side handle there is a large elastic pocket that can hold a 1L water bottle.

With a durable nylon and polyester construction, PhotoCross 13 is built to withstand the elements. And in case of heavy rain, it also comes with a rain cover. Six loops along the outside of the backpack provide opportunities to secure additional items or items. One pair of these loops is located above the elastic side pocket, and two pairs of loops are parallel to each other on either side of the front panel of the backpack. There are also double compression straps, which can be attached to external loops so that they cross the front panel, allowing larger items such as a tripod, monopod, trekking poles or light clothing to be attached to the backpack. The elastic side pocket can also be used to attach a tripod, monopod or trekking poles. In this case, the free end of the tripod or monopod must be secured with the included compression straps attached to the loops located above this side pocket.
