About this deal

I was told I looked ‘Kawaii’ (cute) whilst wearing it in Japan. Can you design my wardrobe next, WANDRD?! Designed for the outdoors, this bag feels really well-engineered in terms of comfort, something which other manufacturers overlook for the sake of fitting in every piece of camera kit possible. During the heavy rain whilst ascending Mt. Inari, the WANDRD PRVKE was an absolute trooper. All my contents remained dry, and that was without pulling out the dedicated rainfly.

Our Camera Cube (size medium) did a good job of holding my camera gear. The included dividers were a little more dense and rigid than the generic padded ones that I’m used to but they raised no alarms. I will say that the actual space available, though appropriate for my mirrorless system, may seem a little cramped for some full frame users or those with a ton of gear. You can, I imagine, buy a second camera cube and put it in the top compartment but I can’t comment on the efficacy of this option. Did I feel fashionable wearing this? Yup! This bag looks the part, and is very sleek, with a modern design. I’ve used this bag in a variety of different situations and I’ve yet to notice anything major that I didn’t like about it. While it may not be the ideal bag for traveling with multiple camera bodies (although it isn’t impossible), for a one body, two lens shoot that requires me to bring a laptop along, it’s the closest to a perfect bag that I’ve found.The build of the WANDRD PRVKE 31 is excellent and provides impressive water resistance, even without the included rain cover. I’d be keen to try the smaller 21L PRVKE variant in the future. I think it could be the perfect out-and-about bag, and ideal for short breaks. This would also be really well suited to those with smaller frames, or teenagers who don’t want a bag the size of their torso. For me, I like all my clothing and accessories to be stylish, and that includes my photography gear (where possible!) Since I travel a lot and don’t always take the best care of everything, I also like it to be rugged and hard-wearing.

The PRVKE allowed me to carry more equipment than I usually could with my LowePro 450 AW II, in part thanks to thin and carefully considered dividers. Though there’s not a one-size-fits-all camera bag, I think the PRVKE would fit a wide array of body sizes.

There is, however, a handy integrated camera sling that keeps your camera hanging right next to your hip, although it’s mostly for smaller cameras. Our ultimate destination, the Titcomb Basin, would prove to be a great trial grounds in addition to being just stunningly beautiful. All of the gear that we managed to fit in the PRVKE 31. Not pictured is our tapestry and primary camera body, which we used to take this photo.

The shoulder straps are well padded and feel comfortable on the shoulders. The straps can be loosened and tightened via a synch found at their bottoms and doing so will make the bag more or less comfortable. Unfortunately, there are no synches at the top of the shoulder straps, which would help to bring the top of the bag closer to the shoulders for proper weight distribution. The inability to synch the bag at the shoulders, though somewhat minor and only hampering when the bag is fully loaded, was perhaps our biggest gripe that we had with the bag. You can get A LOT of gear in here. I was able to 2 DSLR body’s, a handful of lenses, and a medium format camera with an attached lens in with still extra room. The foam seems dense enough to keep my gear safe yet still feels lightweight enough with a fully loaded bag.Surprisingly, there was still room on the inside to spare for my travel adapters and iPhone / Apple Watch chargers. Users can attach accessories on one of several loops found on the shoulder straps of the PRVKE 31. Outdoorsman may find these a good place for something like a radio while photographers may, as mentioned before, use these for a camera clip.
