Best Gura Gear Bataflae 32L Backpack, Gray Deals

Customer Ratings:

Just returned from 2 weeks in the Tetons and Yellowstone with the new Bataflae 32L and it came through like a champ. First, the pack made it though carryon baggage without a hitch. Fit very well in the overhead, even on the short side of the plane where the bins are a bit smaller. I carried essentially all of my lenses including a Canon 500mm f4, a Canon 70-200 f2.8 (both of which are relatively large and heavy) as well as 2 wide angle zoom lenses and a macro lens. Through in 2 camera bodies, filters, 2 extender tubes, a flash, batteries and chargers, and various small tools and remotes. It all fit! Construction is sturdy with no signs of seam or strap failure after 2 weeks of heavy use. The hip belt (and the shoulder straps) are well padded and very adjustable to allow the weight to be on your hips rather than the shoulders. The butterfly opening mechanism is extremely convenient as are the small pockets on either side of the butterfly wings. As with most bags, I wish it would come with a better mechanism for carrying my larger tripod. Carrying the tripod on the side as was suggested is just not optimal. But with a little rigging, the tripod fit well on the center of the back while still allowing reasonable access to the case. Internally, the pack comes with about a zillion extra dividers. Arranging the dividers is simple and the Velcro head extremely well, even with the weight of the 500 mmm. The padding is adequate though other bags are thicker. At the end of the day, the pack did everything I needed and was comfortable with a heavy load. The pack is pricey, but in my view well worth the money. Would recommend it to anyone with a lot of gear who travels and hikes with the gear.
