MindShift Gear

TREAD’S TAKE:

WANDRD PRVKE is an excellent option for daily use and travel. The versatile design with adjustable and removable camera cubes makes it easy to take to work, travel, or on dedicated photoshoots. No detail is left untouched with this pack. We appreciate the comfortable shoulder, waist, and sternum straps to help distribute the weight. The hidden passport/ cash pocket is a nice touch while traveling to keep your valuables close by and away from the quick hands of would-be thieves. The integrated memory card organizer pocket is also a great touch to keep those small, but valuable items in place.

TREAD’S TAKE:

This pack is great for those looking for protection for their valuable gear without needing to bring too much. The smaller size options lets you focus on the work and are more comfortable for long stretches of time. It can be used daily, as well, but where it shines is in the field. The large side access panel is convenient to swing the pack around and switch lenses or retrieve your camera without the need of setting the pack down. For additional comfort and support, the removable waist belt is nice to have on hand. At less than $170, this pack is a great value for the quality it provides.
