Karachi Outpost (M)

Looks like a fair to muddling sized daypack. Works like a large-sized go anywhere photo & 15-inch laptop combo gear carrier.

Turning conventional wisdom on its head, the face down/bum up medium Karachi Outpost employs a rearward opening to provide easy-as-all-get-out access to 16 litres of meticulously organised camera kit – stymieing any would be ne’er-do-well pocket pickerers in the process. The padded main compartment is fully configurable and, like the padded laptop compartment, fully removable, meaning the medium Karachi can also be used just for cargo should the need arise.

REARWARD OPENING

On location you place the bag front down to access your gear, meaning the bag’s harness, its back pad – and you – all stay cleaner.

FLEXIBLE, ACCESSIBLE SPACE

To ensure you can put in lots of gear, we first put in lots of thought and looked at professional photographers’ needs from every angle. That’s why…

The removable padded main compartment features:

  • zippered internal mesh cover
  • a fully configurable 13-piece velcro and padded nylon divider system,
    including 2 with fold down flaps
  • 3 velcro-mounting elasticised stays
The removable padded laptop compartment features:
  • capacity for a 15-inch laptop
  • six-pocket clutter buster
Each side features:
  • a large, gusseted pocket with hooded zipper

DETACHABLE LAPTOP COMPARTMENT

A bag within a bag that can be removed entirely when not required, the Karachi’s padded laptop compartment has its own integrated carry grip and six-pocket clutter buster. Positioned between your lap and a hot poota, it will also prevent crotch cook.

DETACHABLE MAIN COMPARTMENT

Want to spend some time with your Karachi sans camera gear? Easy. Just detach the padded main compartment from its top, side and bottom velcro fasteners, and the two of you are footloose and photo free.

FULLY ADJUSTABLE ERGONOMIC CARRYING SYSTEM

Wide, body contoured and filled to the gills with EVA foam, the Karachi’s fully adjustable ergonomic harness straps combine with chest and waist belts to distribute weight evenly across your body. Location shoots will never be a pain in the neck again.

PADDED CARRY HANDLE

The easiest pick up since Britney went off her meds, the Karachi’s carry handle features EVA foam cushioning for comfort and double weave flamed polypropylene for strength and durability.

TRIPOD HOLDER

You + tripod = five legs, three of them under one arm. You + The Karachi = two legs + two arms when you use the included tripod straps to secure your three-legged friend to the bag.

MOISTURE CONTROL

To help wick away perspiration into the sweatasphere, the rear of the bag and underside of its harness both feature Air Mesh padding. The rear also features venting channels to keep fresh air circulating between the bag and your back.

DUAL ACCESSORY LOOPS

The injection moulded D ring accessory loop on each harness strap lets you attach various photo-gidgetry and gadgetry for instant access.

WATERPROOFING MEASURES

Be it rain, hail, sleet, snow, beer or mixed drinks, the bag’s 1,000D outer is designed to weather the storm and keep your equipment dry.

ANTI-ABSRASIVE SURFACES

The 1,000D outer and brushed padded nylon interior combine phenomenal strength with exceptional smoothness and malleability. Your clothes don’t catch. Your equipment don’t get scratched.

STRUCTUAL INTEGRITY

A full height polyethylene-EVA foam laminate insert at the back ensures the bag holds its shape, even when loaded up to pussy’s bow.

BUILT TOUGH

Designed to outlast its lifetime guarantee, the bag features a super strength water resistant 1,000D outer, 300D Rip-stop lining, flamed polypropylene webbing, triple strength S-Bend webbing attachment, injection moulded velcro and bonded nylon thread with bar tack stitching on all stress points.

AMAZING BAG!

By Sol

Got this bag for my ever expanding camera gear and love it to BITS!! Its not bulky and feel very light! Love that it can be used with out the photography compartment!

Just right!

By James |

This bag is perfect for my gear. 5D mark II, 85mm f1.2L, 17-40mm f4L, 35mm f1.4L, 100mm f2.8, lens baby, 580EX II speedlite, and batteries, accessories. Also my CF tripod fits perfectly in the tripod holder. I still have room to spare which will be for my new lens the Canon EF 8-15mm f4L Fisheye lens.

17" Macbook Pro Fits into the Karachi Medium

By Steve

I took my 17" Mac into the store and it fits comfortably into the light blue laptop sleeve. I even had a neoprene case on it also. The medium was the perfect size for biking to work with my laptop or traveling with both my laptop, DSLR and 3 lens. Love it!

81% perfect

By Mark

The construction quality of this bag is simply spectacular. It's comfortable and ergonomically well designed for a 6'1" human. I bang it up, drag it around and it looks like new. The interior is quite roomy. I fit two camera bodies (no vertical grips), a 70-200 2.8, 24-70 2.8, 17-50 2.8, two 580 EX II flashes, hoods for all lenses, a few memory card/battery cases and other small accessories. All that and a 15" laptop really does fit inside. Now, don't plan on filling this guy with lots of little things. The laptop insert does not double for general use gadget storage. The zip-up side pockets are too tight to fit your hands into, so don't plan to use them. For anything. Seriously. So, if you buy this expect it to be useful for hauling a lot of gear safely from point A to point B. It is by no means a quick access bag. It does what it does extremely well.
