The WANDRD Duo Bag Review | Great For Street Photographers

An everyday bag made for creative commuters looking to elevate the way they carry even their most valuable gear.

This pack comes in one size: 20L. A great size made for what you need, not what you don’t. We personally recommend using the pop up camera cube to snugly hold all your most valuable items, like your DSLR or mirrorless camera. It has enough space for multiple camera lenses or filmmaking tools, with space for everyday gear (jackets, water bottles, etc.). The tough exterior and padded interior is going to keep what’s inside safe and protected (and majorly comfortable).

However, this bag — much like their compelling and well-loved PRVKE bag — is rather complex. It comes with a variety of different pockets and an infinite amount of zippers, so it’s a bit complicated and takes a while getting used to. Luckily, on their product’s home webpage, there's a video of the complete interior and goes over which pockets are designed for what, etc. It’s incredibly helpful and makes for a great overview of the bag. For another angle, check out Pack Hacker's Wandrd Duo Review.

• Accessibility: Features top access, side access, back access, and a concession stand style.
• Durability: Lots of excellent external materials for strong protection. Features 1680D Ballistic Nylon, a waterproof tarpaulin, an extra rain fly just in case, and thick padding on the inside for extra gear.
• Good Looking: It’s simple looking, yet complex for the people who need it to be. Sexy enough to wear to a coffee shop, or the overhead compartment in an airplane.
• Water-Resistant: High quality protection; tough tarp outer shell with soft tricot liner to fight back against nasty weather.

What It Fits

This backpack can carry an incredible amount of love and gear. It will pretty much fit anything except a cement block, and even then, you can customize it to fit one as such. You can slip in any 15” laptop with an external airport-friendly laptop pocket. Tripod buckles are clipped on both sides for easy access, as well. There’s a divider to section off portions of the cube for customizable storage, should you like. Fits two camera bodies with a lens attached, two additional lenses, batteries, and lots of room for small goods. The pop-up camera cube is also good for things like shoes or gym clothes if you want it separated from the rest of your bag.

• Passport Friendly - Hidden pocket for passport or cash built into the back panel
• Lots of Zippers - Infinity zipper with 4 sliders (2 on bottom, 2 on top)
• Side Access - Dual side access or full internal access
• Mesh Pockets - 2 big, 1 small
• Pockets for Literally Whatever - Variety of open-ended pockets
• Flexibility - Elastic pulls for tight cord pockets
• Padded Expansion Pockets Inside - Can hold something as small as sunglasses or a hard drive and as big as a 24-70mm lens
• Airport Friendly - Padded and airport-friendly laptop sleeve (up to 15”)
• Pop Up Camera Cube - Up when you need it, down when you don’t

In Detail

This 20L pack has a dry weight of about 2.5 pounds, light enough to carry and pack what you need. Its shell and interior feature coated nylon and weather-resistant zippers with a vertical pocket made perfect for things you need quick access to. Four anchor points are on the front of the pack for accessory straps (sold separately), like a tripod, yoga mat, or jacket. Its grab handles are used tubular seat belt webbing and filled with foam, which contains premium quality but is soft to the touch. Featuring an expandable water bottle or tripod pocket (carabiner attachment to secure), there’s also a felt-lined tech pocket up top for easy on-the-go grabbin’.
