NO LONGER PRODUCED. The Venture Gear VG420 was produced between 2003 and 2006. The closest modern equivalent to this bag is the Billingham S3 Camera Bag.

Lovers of the great outdoors could enjoy all the traditional qualities of Billingham bags, but in a different style of bag in a lighter simplified design.

The Venture Gear Range combines innovative design with the best in traditional materials and manufacturing methods. The tough, waterproof rip-stop poly cotton/nylon canvas not only looks good, it feels good and wears exceptionally well. The Venture gear ranges isn't just about good looks though; Superb protection is afforded through through the use of all-round, closed cell foam protection with 25mm reinforced base foam.

One of the most outstanding features of Venture Gear is its innovative PressTopLite® opening. This takes its inspiration from the Gladstone bag but, unlike the products from other manufacturers, does not rely on rigid metal reinforcing bars that can be easily distorted. Instead, to maintain the rigidity and efficiency of the opening, without compromising the bag's softness, it incorporates a special composite 'wand' which flexes easily, but always returns to its original shape.

The closest replacement for this bag is the Billingham S3.
