The luggage pass-through and base handles make it easy to carry two- handed, while lockable zips, hidden passport pocket and dual-access document sleeve provide security. Dual access points provide rear and side access to gear. The side zip is ideal for swift, under-the-arm entry, without completely moving the pack. Anti-theft is a priority, with rear opening allowing unobstructed access to the main camera compartment, whilst also keeping the straps moving off the ground. Three lockable zips – you’ll need an additional lock – are placed to protect exposed points on your back, and YKK splashguard zips are water resistant for main compartments.

The belt has Velcro to simplify the wearing experience and can be removed when not required. The Explore V2 25 Starter Kit includes a small, mirrorless core unit, providing shockproof protection for mirrorless SLR and DSLR cameras, along with lenses
