We love the luggage loops that come with this neoprene, but unfortunately neoprene is not an environmentally friendly material. Easily attach the bag to your suitcase when traveling. It also has nice chunky zippers and comes in some brighter color schemes that other bags don’t have.
This bag is made from recycled polyester and nylon. It’s a pretty standard question pack, but simplicity is a good thing. The padded main compartment holds a 17-inch laptop, and the bag is backed by a lifetime warranty.

We appreciate the strap on the bottom of this sling, which is great for awkward items like tripods or light stands. There are roomy pockets, one of which has some pouches for organizing accessories. The front pocket is lined with faux fur to store fragile items like sunglasses.
This bag fills a unique void in the camera bag space. It’s a combination backpack shell and running vest, and it’s perfect for runners who want to snap a photo on their morning run. WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson loves using it while hiking and bird watching.
This large backpack has enough room for…well, anything. You can stuff your camera gear inside and leave room for other items, even oversized items like hoodies.
