Kata Bumblebee-222 UL

The Ultra-Light Bumblebee-222 UL backpack features a combination of technology, materials and design which embody the ultimate essences of Lightweight Protection without compromises.

Specially formed foam encased spring steel Spine Guard for ultimate structural protection, light yet durable RipStop fabrics & meshes, Aeriform foams and Spider Webbing straps all join together to create a protective yet fantastically light backpack.

The incredible modularity allows you to make it even lighter by simply removing components that are not necessary for your adventure.

The bag is designed with a double compartment concept -
In the lower compartment there is room for a Pro DSLR with up to 70-200 F/2.8 lens attached + additional body + 4 lenses + flash + accessories. Use the modular Aeriform Dividers and Cocoon Pouches to custom fit the interior set-up your exact gear needs.

In the upper compartment there is plenty of space for personal effects.

When needed the lower compartment can be emptied of the padded dividers and pouches and the zippered partition between the two compartments can be opened to create one large storage space.

Additional storage space is available in the large full length rear laptop slot (will fit most 17" laptops). External top pocket and two side pockets will store personal effects such as phone, wallet, travel documents etc. These can also store small accessories you need rapid access too such as media cards, batteries or filters, while a flexible pocket on the other side will easily carry a water bottle.

The double purpose pocket on the bottom front of the bag can be used either for additional storage or as a docking base to secure a small tripod.

Includes items to enhance performance such as:
- Tripod Holder which can be attached to either the front or the side of the backpack.
- Double-sided Elements Cover for protection in all weather and environment conditions come rain or sunshine.
- Aeriform camera strap which is light, flexible and airy and can be used individually or interconnected to the two designated loops on the backpack harness thus providing frontal carrying for your camera by using your shoulders instead of having an additional strap around your neck.
