Tenba Cooper

The Cooper series is made from a soft cotton canvas with full-grain leather trim.

The canvas exterior features water-repellant coating and an ultra-light, silicone-coated rip-stop nylon liner. Additional features include a Velcro flap that opens silently, a quick-access top zipper, a silver/black reversible rain cover (the silver side reflects the sun to keep bag contents cooler) and a rear laptop/tablet pocket. There’s a removable padded camera insert and side pockets that can be compressed slim against the side of the bag or expanded to hold as large as a

24-70mm f/2.8 lens (for Cooper 13 or 15 bags only). The series is available in four sizes, capable of stowing everything from compact mirrorless cameras with an

8-inch tablet up to pro DSLRs with 15-inch laptops.

Compagnon

This roomy backpack can fit two full-frame DSLR bodies, up to seven lenses, two flashes and a 15- inch laptop. You can strap two tripods to the bag’s exterior and use the plentiful small pockets for your accessories. If you need to lug a third tripod, you can fasten it to the exterior using the bag’s roll top and strap. The exterior is a blend of Compagnon bull leather and Scottish waxed canvas (the material of choice for the British Royal Navy back in the sailing and empire days). The interior is lined with Velcro velour and has two large separator pads that can fold up, plus eight smaller pads to help segregate and protect your gear. You’ll have eight different color choices to choose from.
