[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I had purchased this camera pack earlier. For travel and spending time out in the elements, it truly is perfect. On a recent trip to Joshua Tree to do dark sky photography, I ended up having to use a 35L travel pack that was not meant to carry photography gear and it showed. While I have not taken the PRVKE out on a trip yet, I can tell this is going to be a huge upgrade for sure. I also love that there are plenty of options to expand and add accessories and there is definitely space for personal travel and convenience items as well. So excited to take the next adventure with my PRVKE.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this bag (21L) for hiking and for travel (as an under-seat personal item) for my full-frame Nikon mirrorless setup. It is by far the most comfortable camera bag I have tried for hiking, and its build quality and weatherproofing are outstanding. The emphasis is not on carrying a lot of camera gear, but carrying your essentials while leaving ample room for snacks, layers, water, and whatnot. There are sneaky compartments for stashing particularly valuable items (such as passport or an AirTag). Internal separation of the camera cube from the contents of the roll-top compartment are brilliant, and you can easily make the entire bag accessible through the roll top if you wish to use it without the camera cube. The cube itself is rugged and offers fantastic protection. In mine, you'll find a Nikon Z7 body with attached 24-70 f/4, a Nikon 70-300 f/5.6 with attached FTZ adapter, an SB-500 flash, and a few small accessories. My tripod attaches easily to the side of the bag using the built-in straps, but I prefer the weight distribution of slinging it under the bottom panel with the extra straps that come with the photography bundle. Brilliant bag--looking forward to many adventures with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loving the new bag so far! I was previously using the Original Prvke 31L, and unfortunately had a failed zipper issue. However, I reached out to customer service, and without hesitation they sent me a code to purchase a new bag FREE of charge (except shipping)!! Also, I had been rocking my original Prvke for 3 years and they still replaced it for me. I feel customer service that great is incredibly rare. So far, I’m loving the new Prvke, and I can tell they made some upgrades. Especially with the zipper mechanisms. That was my only real complaint. Thank you so much Wandrd!!! You’ve found a customer for life!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a Christmas gift for my husband who takes all our trip photos around the world. We're headed to New Zealand in January and thought this new bag would be good for him and his camera equipment. I think it will be perfect and much better for him than his old bag. Thank you. :)
Absolutely love the size and functionality of this bag! Photography and hiking are two of my favorite things to do and this bag allows me to organize and do both with carry a huge bulky bag!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design of this pack, and it is easily the most comfortable of the many packs of all sizes I have owned over the decades. I’ve given it five stars even though it’s pretty heavy for the volume, but it is after all carrying a precious load and is the first camera pack I’ve owned. I do love the flexibility and expandibility with extra space for lunch and a rain shell for those days on the trail with the camera, tripod, and several lenses. As others have noted, they could do to give future iterations more solutions for carrying water, but again I think it’s flexibility will answer the call even now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this for a new camera bag. So far it is excellent. It has plenty of space for camera main body, and several lenses. The camera cube that I purchased along with the bag is designed so well. It fits perfectly and is easy to remove. There are multiple access points/openings to the bag which makes the bag very nice. I really enjoy the side opening that is direct to my main body with lens attached, this allows for me to not take off the bag completely but sling it around front, unzip the side opening, grab the camera and then put that one strap back on without ever putting the bag on the ground. The bag straps are very comfortable. I like how you can remove the waistband strap if you would like to. The hidden passport pocket is a nice touch.It's great so far.
