The Scope Photo Travel 350 AW Backpack from Lowepro is the perfect choice for a birder or wildlife photographer. This backpack can handle everything you need for a day in the field - and then some. It's rated to hold everything from your DSLR with attached lens, a couple of extra lenses, flash and 15.6" (39.6 cm) laptop and, best of all, your binoculars or spotting scope in its own compartment. The laptop, too, is secured in its own padded compartment.

The exterior of the pack is fabricated from water-resistant nylon while the inside is also a rugged nylon that will not scratch the surface of any of your gear. The outside is fitted with an organizational pocket for small items like books, maps, phones, keys or tickets. In addition, there's a tripod tuck-away foot cup that will hold your pod when you're out doing field work. A rapid deploy all-weather cover provides even more protection for the entire pack - and will even cover the tripod. For those long hikes, a mesh side pocket is designed to hold a water bottle.

Inside, there are five padded compartments that may be configured to suit your equipment needs. A separate, padded, zippered laptop compartment is located behind the main compartment. The other compartments are tailored to hold specific gear like your DSLR with attached lens (up to 100 - 400mm), spotting scope or binoculars(up to 8 x 40). The top lid has two interior zippered pockets that hold small stuff like batteries and filters.

For carrying purposes, the backpad is well-padded and quite comfortable. The shoulder straps are also padded and fully adjustable as is the padded waist belt. There's even a side carry handle for grabbing the pack out of the trunk of your car. SlipLock loops complete the pack for adding even more accessories. Backed by Lowepro's limited lifetime warranty, the Scope Photo Travel 350 AW Backpack is tailor-made for the serious outdoor hiker who requires a pack that holds everything, is lightweight and can handle the elements.
