Santa Rosa, CA—The Think Tank Backlight XP 26L continues the company’s commitment to protecting camera gear in extreme conditions. The special edition Backlight backpack is constructed using X-pac Sailcloth, which is lightweight yet durable.
What’s more, the Backlight features a back panel opening that allows access to all your gear without taking off the pack. Consequently, the shoulder harness stays clean and dry. And with nine liters of daypack capacity, the Backlight offers space for personal gear.
The backpack is engineered to fit two standard-size camera bodies and 4-7 standard zoom lenses plus a flash. (Maximum lens size: 200–400mm f/4 detached from body.) In addition to storage for accessories and personal items, it has separate, dedicated compartments for a 10-inch tablet and a 16-inch laptop.
