Road Warrior Bag - Kata DR-467

Well now being the proud owner of a Canon EOS 40D i had to decide on the best way to carry it when out and about. I travel quiet a bit so i looked around to try to find a bag that was multipurpose, a kind of road warrior all in one bag.  Now admittedly i have a weakness for bags and luggage in general especially gear that is well made and shows a thought out design process. The beauty of the web and the social contacts you make around the world, is that you get tips and suggestions for products and services outside what you see locally. This is how i found out about Kata Bags.

They have so much great gear and i decided on the Kata DR-467 - Digital Rucksack.

This bag is great with fantastic build quality and the layout of the storage options is excellent. It enables me to store all my digital gear easily including my laptop, phone, iPod, camera and so much more. It also comes with an optional trolley insert if you need one . Soon ill do a “Whats in my bag” post A la Lifehacker which you should check out, its so amazing to see what people carry these days.

Product information [Source: Kata]

The DR-467 Digital Rucksack features a unique TST RIB structural protection for two D/SLR with mounted lens, 3-4 lenses, flash etc. + personal gear and a laptop. By removing the padded bottom camera insert you can easily convert this rucksack from a camera bag to a daypack when not shooting. The main compartment holds a D/SLR in top grip position while the modular dividers system will separate, organize and protect lenses, flashes and other accessories to suit your particular needs. The dedicated padded laptop compartment will hold and protect up to a 15” laptop.

The large top compartment will hold personal gear or additional equipment, and the internal pockets and mp3 player pouch will allow you to organize your personal effects as efficiently as your photographic gear. Ample external pockets allow quick zippered access to supplies and a water bottle/ tripod support pocket pulls out from a side pocket. Included rain cover folds neatly away into an integrated pocket and can be hung out to dry on the small buckle next to the handle, or tucked away for storage in one of the pockets. When carrying, a chest belt and balancing waist strap are available for ultimate comfort, and the rucksack is also compatible with the Kata Insertrolley if wheel along transportation is needed.
