Perfect Christmas gift for the camera/photo enthusiast.
spent years looking for this type of bag.
New with tags, Lowepro Whistler BP450 AW. I bought it for my complete Nikon system and laptop but never got the opportunity to use it. Ideal for backcountry and global travel.
Completely adjustable. It opens from the inside (strap side) so if you have to put it down and access your equipment and there is a cover over it, then you don't get your straps dirty. Brilliant designed. Lots of extra compartment pads.
