The main compartment is padded on all 4 sides, plus the base. This makes it ideal to protect your equipment whilst travelling.

 

For ease of access the compartment features a double zip.

Hidden pockets

Hidden pockets


The Airline Stowaway (and Compact Stowaway and Pola Stowaway) have plenty of pockets.

 

A zip down the side of the bag gives you access to a pocket that's ideal for a passport. The zip on the front flap is perfect for a memory card.

Belt loops

Belt loops


Two stitched belt loops on the back to allow your hands to keep free when travelling or out in the field.

 

Just behind the belt loops is a deep dump pocket.

Discrete and slim

Discrete and slim


The particularly discrete styling of the bag means that it doesn't look like a camera bag at all – ideal for travelling without drawing attention.

A small rangefinder camera (e.g. Leica M11 with small lens attached) with space for a passport, tickets, memory card, smartphone etc.

A small mirrorless camera (e.g. Leica CL, Canon EOS M6, Sony A6400, Fujifilm X-E4, Olympus PEN E-PL8 with small lens attached) with space for a passport, tickets, memory card, smartphone etc.

A small fixed lens camera (e.g. Fujifilm X100F, Sony RX100 VII, Leica C-Lux, Leica Q3 etc) with space for a passport, tickets, memory card, smartphone etc.

Small-to-medium binoculars (e.g. Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 8x50 or Swarovski EL 10X50 WB) with space for passport, tickets, smartphone etc.

iPad Mini, Amazon Fire 7" and similar very small tablets.

 

Please note that there is no way to sub-divide the main compartment in this bag, so the iPad Mini may bump against any camera gear you have inside with it. Adding a very slim case may be sensible. Storing a tablet will reduce the space available for camera gear. Aim for tablets less than approx 205mm (8⅛") tall and 135mm (5¼") wide if you can, although slightly bigger is possible.

Yes - however it would go in the same padded compartment as the camera (if you carried a camera). This might limit what camera you can carry inside the bag.

No. The inside of this bag is made with a sheer fabric - therefore it is not possible to attach any of our Velcro® dividers inside.

 

You may want to consider the 'Pola Stowaway' instead. This has the same sheer fabric inside but some sizes of SuperFlex Partition will fit inside to provide the ability to divide up the space.

No. The fabric is made of 3 layers - the middle layer is butyl rubber. Water cannot pass through this butyl rubber layer. As long as you don't get a hole in the fabric or expose it to harsh chemicals (for example in a washing machine) the fabric should remain waterproof for many years. There is no need to apply re-proofing.

In simple terms ‘Canvas’ or ‘FibreNyte’ refers to the top, outer layer of fabric on our bags – the facecloth.

 

‘Canvas’ is a mix of cotton and polyester. ‘FibreNyte’ refers to our face fabric that is completely synthetic. Canvas is hard wearing, FibreNyte is very hard wearing.

 

Both fabrics are bonded to a non-wicking polyester backing fabric with a middle layer butyl rubber – this rubber layer makes both fabrics equally (and very) waterproof. Water can’t get through that rubber layer.

 

Both fabrics have a similar weave - the FibreNyte looks similar to canvas. Canvas is slightly softer to the touch, FibreNyte is slightly rougher to the touch.

 

Canvas is the preferred option for anyone that wants their bag to age gracefully and have that vintage look over time. This is particularly true of people who choose our ‘Khaki Canvas’ fabric as this looks particularly lovely as it ages.

 

If you prefer your bag to look newer and keep its colour for longer, FibreNyte is a better option. It is also harder wearing, particularly if you are going to be working your bag hard, hiking, taking it out every day and filling it to the brink regularly. If you are considering a black bag, we recommend considering FibreNyte. 

The shoulder pad isn't essential but can stop the strap from digging into your shoulder if you're carrying a heavy camera inside the bag. It can also reduce the chances of the bag slipping off your shoulder. If you do buy a shoulder pad remember only the 'SP10' Shoulder Pad size fits.
