hanger – that can also double to hold walking poles – which can be easily accessed without even needing to take the backpack off. Colour quartet Well thought out and available in a range of four different colours – grey, green, blue and red – the Off-Road backpack is a fine choice for all photographers wanting to combine both their walking and photography passions.
Better still, for those times when you want to travel light on the gear front, the gear section can be completely removed, instantly converting the Off-Road into a full outdoor backpack. Designed for comfort Whatever you choose to carry in the Off-Road backpack, the bag’s design ensures you’ll enjoy day-long comfort. It features a breathable system that keeps the back of the bag away from the body to minimise sweat and maximise comfort. The broad shoulder straps are also holed to improve ventilation while the padded waist strap helps distribute the weight and even features a pocket for a smartphone. Photographers who like to keep their cameras out and ready for action will appreciate the camera support strap, which keeps your DSLR safe and secure, reducing the chance of it being bumped on a rock or generally adding extra weight to your neck. Plus there is a dedicated tripod
Backpacks tend to be one thing or the other. They’re either perfect for carrying outdoor gear or ideal for lugging large quantities of photo equipment, but rarely a combination of the two. That’s all set to change thanks to the new Manfrotto Off-Road backpack, which goes on sale in early February with an SRP of £169.95. Two bags in one Designed specifically for photographers who like to carry generous amounts of both outdoor and photo equipment, the 30-litre Off-Road backpack features a distinct 50/50 split. The bottom half of the backpack swallows a professional-sized digital SLR with a lens attached, plus two further lenses and miscellaneous accessories, while the top half leaves ample space for waterproofs, a torch, maps and, perhaps most importantly, sandwiches. You don’t need to delve through all your outdoor gear to get to your photo equipment, either. The side zip access makes it easy to quickly select the piece of gear you need.
