Loadout: Lowepro EDC

I went through a few weeks of needing to take my camera into the office (not usual for me) as well as a Macbook Pro and a few other essential bits I always carry. I also started trying to take the opportunity to walk to work. It’s only 3.5km but there’s a route that takes me through woodland and along country roads so I loaded up my ProTactic pack and got going.

This pack comes with a significant amount of internal dividers so I was able to configure the insides just how I wanted them. I divided the pack in two as, due to the side opening pocket, it enabled me to access my camera without disturbing the rest of my gear and vice versa. There was a good amount of space left alongside the small amount of camera equipment that I needed, but the likelihood of rain the UK is sporadic at best so some external items were necessary. Here’s the combination that stuck for many an outing, as well as a daily commute…

Outside Config:

• Lowepro ProTactic 350 AW (UK Store)
• 2x PatchPals used to attach a limited edition PDW Platoon patch (others available here)
• Triple Aught Design Stealth LT attached using the two external straps included with the pack
• Thrym Cell Vault with spare CR123 batteries
• Lowepro pouch (included) with Black Leatherman Wave, Leatherman Bit Kit, ClimbOn and any small last minute extras
• Lowepro Bottle Holder (included) with Klean Kanteen

Inside Config:

• Gorilla Tape
• OLD Be.ez cases (new version here) with Magic Mouse and 1TB Portable Hard Drive
• Triple 7 Gear Micro Kit with self assembled First Aid Kit with an original Cyflect Velcro Kit Marker by Ru-Titley for easy identification
• Bellroy Elements Phone Pocket which I’m actually using as a little desktop pack/organiser – awesome product!
• Nikon D3000 used for shooting the photos, with a Nikon 35mm/1.8 Lens
• Nikon kit lens and Tamron 70-300mm Zoom lens in reserve
• Macbook Pro 13″ Retina with charger
