Stratus Photo 18L

I love my new bag. It’s easier to access my equipment than the prvke (that I loved). The purple is so cute and the materials feel high Wandrd quality. I have large equipment the R6, 28-70, the 700-200 and a Flashpoint flash. It took me a couple days to get the configuration right but once it did it was a breeze to use.

After a few multi-mileage treks, I am loving this pack so far! The ability to customize the main compartment's organization helps me streamline both the packing of and access to the bag's contents. Having dual side access is a benefit that cannot be overstated; quick access to every sub-compartment makes grabbing a camera, lens, or fuel for the trail one strap swing and one zip away. The back panel slightly adds to the overall weight, but it is well worth it for the structure and support it provides - minimizing back strain. This is further complemented by the top-load adjusters, keeping the pack snug to my back regardless of weight distribution.

My only significant issue has to do with the chest/sternum strap; it is a bit too short for my chest's width, causing some discomfort in the most supportive positions across my chest.

Otherwise, the build quality seems worth the price; I am hopeful that it will hold up for the long haul for many years to come! The Wasatch Green is also a great looking color, which perfectly complements the sleek lines of the bag's silhouette. Add in a few accessory straps and a waist strap, and this bag can really do it all!

Makes it easy for me to switch lenses without having to take my bag completely off and lay it down to access the full back like in previous models or other bags. It’s been great to use and I’m thankful to WANDRD for their customer service.
