Peak Design, maker of the Slide and Clutch and other camera gear, has launched its newest bag on Kickstarter. Called�’The Everyday Messenger’, this bag features an�adaptable design able to tote around one’s everyday gear, including�photography equipment.
The messenger bag is designed to expand when full, and features three dividers that expand and contract as needed. The Everyday Messenger bag is able to grow�from a 13.5L capacity up to a 20.5L capacity, and uses a semi-rigid shell to prevent unwanted slack. Four latches�on the front of the bag�accommodate the various�storage capacities, and are coupled with a magnetic latch on the bag’s flap that can be opened and closed with a single hand. In addition to the magnetic latch, the bag’s flap features a zipper for quick access to the main compartment and mesh outer pockets.
The main shoulder strap is made of seatbelt webbing and is internally padded; a secondary removable stabilizer strap is available that reduces the amount of weight on the user’s shoulder.�Peak Design’s Capture camera clip can be connected to the outside of the bag, as well, via a dedicated attachment point. Other features include an exterior waxed synthetic canvas that repels water, soft internal padding, anodized aluminum components, and fold-over flaps for the internal dividers.
Peak Design is funding production of the bag on Kickstarter, where to date it has sailed past�its $100,000 goal to over $715,000. A�pledge of $195 is required to get a single bag in either Heritage Tan or Charcoal, which is $55 USD off the expected retail price. Global shipping to backers is estimated to begin in December 2015.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
