The pack’s technical design is what some might call “out of the world.” You might never see a smaller bag fit this much, look this sexy, and inspire you to carry all you need to more places. This 31L pack does just that. It includes a rainfly for extra weatherproof protection and a camera cube, so you no longer have an excuse not to go out and shoot.

To Know:

This PRVKE Pack’s innovative design and top-tier materials make it an awards-winning camera bag. It can be used for various photography purposes, travel, daily use, or trailblazers. Big-name publications, such as USA Today, Forbes, and National Geographic, have recommended it.

Though the pack is complex and detailed, its instructions make it easier to pack smarter and fit everything you need in this compact yet durable backpack. The system comes with nearly every accessory you could imagine, making it the perfect pack for doing all that you ask for.

What We Love:

1. The Camera Cube

WNDRD’s multi-purpose camera cubes hold some of the best protection systems in the camera gear world. Bomb-proof and versatile, these cubes allow complete customization and confidence.

2. How Much It Packs

The pack is only 31L, but you can fit almost anything due to its highly customizable packing system.

3. Tripod Pocket

An expandable tripod/water bottle pocket makes slipping in an extra tool of choice easy. This means I never have to stuff it in the bottom of my bag and grab it while on the go for a day of shooting.

The Details:

Brand: WANDRD

Bag Type: Backpack

Trip Length: 1 Day

Best For: Daily commutes, trailblazers, plane rides, road trips, and long shoot days.

The smaller pack fits everything you could ask for.

This pack is suitable for everyday carry but caters to the photographer at heart. And if you don't like vowels in your brand names, WNDRD went the extra mile to remove most vowels for you.

There are two sizes: 21L or 31L, with an optional camera cube system (which we recommend). You can keep all of our photo and computer gear organized and with the extra room to spare with the 31L bag. It has enough space for multiple camera lenses or bodies, with space for everyday gear (jackets, water bottles, etc.). The rugged exterior and padded interior will keep what's inside safe and protected.

However, this bag is rather complex. It comes with many pockets, which I was initially not particularly keen on. I’m a simple man, and for people like myself who get overwhelmed by a lot of information, WANDRD provided instructions in a PDF (and videos!). Once I understood all the ins/outs of the bag, I grew genuinely impressed by all the thought and love they put into it.

The toughness of an outdoor bag, the functionality of a tech bag, and the love for photography all put together for the traveling creative in mind. And it looks good.

  • Good Looking: It’s simple looking, yet complex for the people who need it. Sexy enough to wear to a coffee shop or the overhead compartment in an airplane.
  • Accessibility: Features top access, side access, back access, and a concession stand style.
  • Durability: Lots of excellent external materials for solid protection. Features 1680D Ballistic Nylon, a waterproof tarpaulin, an extra rain fly just in case, and thick padding inside for extra gear.
  • Water-Resistant: High-quality protection; tough tarp outer shell with soft tricot liner to fight back against nasty weather.

What It Fits

Truth be told, this backpack can carry an incredible amount of love and gear. It will fit anything except a cement block, and even then, you can customize it to fit one. With an external water bottle pocket, you can unzip and insert the slides to fit anything the size of the hydro flask. Tripod buckles are clipped on both sides for easy access, as well. A front zip pocket can be used for smaller items, like charging wires or batteries. Other pockets that I’ll just put into an unordered list here:

  • Keys Pocket - Keys
  • Back Top pocket - Hard Drive
  • Back Secret pocket - Wallet, Phone, Passport
  • Rainfly Pocket - For the obvious rainfly jacket.
  • Camera Side Access Pocket - You can access this from the back, which brings us to the inside…
  • Access from back - Full spread of gear
  • Camera Cube - I highly recommend grabbing this — if you order, the 31L from our shop comes with a cube which is incredibly helpful to help organize all your things with its different velcro pieces.
  • SD Cards Pocket - Battery, SD cards, etc.
  • Laptop + iPad pocket - Nice to have for large tablets or laptops.
