The infinite zip system is another innovation of this bag. I don’t think it was large enough to fit anything A4 sized. I didn’t really have a purpose for the external front zippered pocket, but it was a decent size to pack things like a harddrive, notebook etc. As I had my bag underneath the seat in front of me on the plane, I could easily access and stow away these quick access items sitting down on the plane. It also has a key clip which made sure you can easily find your keys in a pinch. I found the top zippered pocket came in handy for quick access items such as earphones, mobile phone and pens. There are two exterior zippered pockets and a stretchy side pocket for a water bottle.
You’ll feel good that your gear is well protected. This does however make the bag quite heavy without any items in it. The shell of the bag is made of very tough high grade weatherproof material. If you didn’t know Wandrd was a camera bag making company, you would think it’s a generic backpack which makes you less of a target to thieves I should think. I really like the non-obtrusive nature of the Wandrd log on the front of the bag. The matte black look and the rubbery feel makes it’s clean and minimalist. Not all functional bags look the best, but Wandrd makes a point to design beautiful bags. The target audience for the bag is the photographer who wants to use the same bag for their next travel adventure and their daily work. You can load it up with a large number of camera gear (cameras, lenses, accessories) or you can use it as every day carry for your travel adventures or commute. Transitioning you from photographer to traveller to daily commuter depending what your plans are for the day. The Wandrd DUO is touted as a dual purpose multi-functional bag. Biggest draw card: it doesn’t look like a camera bag! I really liked the design concept of this bag. The design looks sleek, modern and minimalist. When I received the bag, I was pretty impressed.
Lets get the specs and key features out of the way before I jump into my experience with the bag WANDRD Duo Daypack Specs & Key Features I also used it to carry my gear and daily essentials as a second shooter for a wedding. While the rest of my clothes and items were packed in my check-in luggage. It was my one and only carry on bag for my camera gear and everyday items. I had a 10 day trip to Malaysia at the end of January and was eager to use it as my travel camera bag in place of my usual Lowepro Photo hatchback camera backpack. When an opportunity came up for me to test run the bag, I jumped at it. I was impressed by everything I read and watched. All product images taken in this blog post were shot by me. This is simply my experience of using the bag over a short period of time. There are plenty of websites and youtube videos out there that have done that. This is also not intended to be a comprehensive technical review. I eagerly waited for the bag to go into production, be shipped and be reviewed.ĭisclaimer: I was fortunate to try out the Wandrd DUO backpack from our friends over at Radbitz, however this isn’t a sponsored post and all opinions are my own. When Wandrd launched the DUO kickstarter campaign last year, that was the bag that caught my eye.
There was just something about it that didn’t fit the bill for me. I know so many people who rave about the PRVKE and they do seem like fantastic bags. I have been following Wandrd for the last few of years and always had my eye on their PRVKE bag. While I wish there was the “perfect” camera bag that would meet all my needs, I know the reality is you may need more than one camera bag to ensure you have the right bag for the right purpose/job. It’s a mission that I can definitely resonate with and feel that come through in their products. Their simple and bold mission is to create products that inspire people to get out to explore, create and live in the moment. Now they have expanded beyond the camera bag into a variety of related products. Wandrd started with wanting to make the best travel camera bag in the world. Wandrd is founded by a band of brothers who couldn’t find the “perfect camera bag” for their travels and decided to make one themselves. The best products are always the ones that try to solve a problem.
