Kata 3N1-20 Camera Backpack

Pick up at Collingwood, Vancouver, near Joyce Station. Will set up exact time and location when you are decided to pick up. This bag never left my house. Just used to store my camera and accessories. It has a unique zipper and closure system that allows for quick access to your camera by just pulling on the clip tab. The four clips on each corner of the main compartment keep the contents secured if something happens to the zipper, or if the zipper isn't engaged. Traditional backpack style. Note the trolly carrying strap in the middle of the back panel. A cool feature is you can slide this over a Kata Trolly and carry the bag on wheels. Rain Cover The bag comes with a bright yellow rain cover that matches the interior of the bag. The rain cover is detachable and can easily be cleaned. Build Quality Kata started out making bags for the Israeli military, so it's no wonder their bags are built so well. The outer shell of this bag is made of a tough ballistic nylon that still looks new after two years of use. Compartments This bag has two main compartments: the top (pictured above), and the bottom, which holds the bulk of the camera gear. A nice feature is that you can unzip the bottom of the top compartment, thereby creating one very large compartment for storing a large lens or camera setup. Kata was smart to also make the interior of their bags bright orange...it makes finding gear in the dark easier than an all-black interior bag. If you think about it, most camera equipment is black to begin with, so this is a great help to photographers. Shoulder Strap System The main feature of this bag is that you can wear the straps three ways...a sling style, a traditional backpack style, and a crisscross system that's a hybrid of both styles. Front of the bag with rain cover. Since the rain cover is light colored, it actually helps to keep the bag a little cool if left in the sun (compared to a black or dark gray rain cover like some other brands). The rain cover works well in light to moderate rain.
