The Adventure 9 is a modern backpack designed for the SLR photographer with a pro digital or film SLR

(such as Canon's EOS 1D Series or Nikon's D2 Series)

with a grip and 5" lens attached, several additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a laptop.

The completely foam-padded lower compartment protects photo equipment, while the large top compartment holds a light jacket, lunch or other necessary items.

• Inside the top, a Pop-Off Pocket keeps AC adaptors and laptop cords organized.

• A separate, completely foam-padded compartment provides quick access to a laptop (such as Apple's 17" PowerBook G4, 17" MacBook Pro or other laptops up to 15½" x 11" x 2" in size) without disturbing photo gear.

• Double zipper pulls provide quick access to photo gear while a weather flap and quick-release buckle provide security and weather protection. Inside the main compartment, foam pillars support the camera with lens attached, ready for action, while adjustable, foam-padded dividers protect other equipment.

• Tamrac's patented Memory & Battery Management System uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.

• A Windowpane-Mesh pocket organizes filters, cables and other accessories.

• Two mesh side pockets provide quick access to accessories and water bottles.

• The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness with sternum strap is contoured to distribute the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders.

• The harness also features Tamrac's Strap Accessory System attachment points for customizing this pack with optional Tamrac S.A.S. products.

• Two lash tabs on the bottom allow a tripod to be carried (requires accessory straps).
