Alta Adventure LB20L Lightweight Backpack - Ochre

Alta Adventure LB backpacks are lightweight backpacks that are designed to carry larger photography kits in comfort through the day, whether that's up a mountain or around town. The Alta Adventure LB20L Backpack is the smallest of the series with a 20 litre capacity. 

Carrying Capacity:

This model includes a traditional camera compartment with slim EVA dividers that can be tailored to your kit, with internal dimensions of 28 x 15 x 41cm.  This allows you to fit a full frame or APSC style camera with a 70-200mm f2.8 with an additional 3-4 lenses up to a 300mm f2.8 and additional accessories. Full access to your camera kit is through the rear of your bag, but you can also get quick side access to your camera, or set it up for top access. 

In the rear flap are compartments for up to a 14" laptop (compartment size: 27 x 3 x 32cm) and an 11" tablet, with two zip up pockets for accessories like cables and filters. 

This backpack also comes with a removable tripod holder that can carry a full size tripod in the centre of the backpack for optimum comfort. Attach the tripod foot holder to the base of the bag, then use the two Clipfast Straps provided to secure your tripod to the backpack. Alternatively there is an expanding side pocket and straps that allow you to attach a smaller tripod or monopod to the side of the bag, or use it for a water bottle. 

Larger items such as a mat can also be attached to the base of the bag using the two Clipfast Straps provided if not needed for the tripod. If needed for the tripod then additional straps are available separately.

Designed for the outdoors:

The Alta Adventure Series is constructed from premium 420D nylon with TPU protective laminate that helps repel water, resist knocks and scrapes and stay easy to clean. The zips are weatherproof with T-style zip pulls that make them easy to grip, even in cold, wet weather wearing gloves. This combination maximises the weatherproof nature of the bag, with a rain cover for the wettest days.

The Alta Adventure LB Series prioritises weight and camera kit, with a comfortable harness system to maximise comfort and minimise fatigue.

The padded shoulder straps distribute the weight of your gear, while the chest strap can be adjusted vertically through 24cm to achieve a comfortable fit. A padded, removable waist belt then transfers more of the load from your shoulders to your hips for greater comfort over longer distances. Once all the straps are set to your comfort, the load lifter straps at the top of the shoulder straps can be tightened to minimise movement even further. 

At the rear of the backpack is a padded back supported by an aluminium frame, with airflow channels to allow the air to flow.  

Specification:

The Alta Adventure Series:

Alta Adventure LB are backpacks that are designed to be at home on tougher trails or around town, with a more traditional camera compartment setup that reduces weight. These models prioritise the day trip and camera kit over the ability to camp. 

Additional Products within the Alta Adventure Series include:

• Alta Adventure PB are backpacks that are designed to be the most capable choice for landscape and wildlife photographers needing to cover long and difficult trails, with the potential to camp out to catch that early sunrise or elusive creature
• .Alta Adventure W are comfortable waist packs with a removable waist belt and shoulder strap that allows them to be converted to a shoulder bag. They can also be attached to the front of any Alta Adventure PB backpack or any Alta Adventure LB backpack for extra storage on the go, with the freedom to explore at your destination.
• Alta Adventure BIB are the removable inner bag-in-bags that are designed to fit the Alta Adventure PB models, with a choice of four sizes. This allows you to set up each bag for different kits and, rather than reorganising your bag every time, simply slot in the kit of your choice, leaving the other kit safely stored away at home.
• Clipfast Straps are adjustable webbing straps with Clipfast attachment clips that allow you to attach larger items like tents and sleeping mats to the exterior of the backpack.  The backpack comes with a pair of straps, but if you want to carry additional kit then additional straps will be needed.

In Summary:

If you're looking for a camera backpack that's designed for the trail and the town, then the Alta Adventure LB Series should definitely be on your shortlist. This backpack is designed to carry a wide range of kit in comfort over the most arduous terrain, with the ability to be set up for multi-day trips.
