ProTactic III: Behind the Design

For many years, ProTactic has been our best selling collection, used by hardworking professionals the world over for its reliability and performance.

So they challenged us: how can we make it even better?

"As with all our bags, developing ProTactic III was a labor of love. We incorporated years of feedback from the previous generations. We refined designs with a globe spanning test program of photographer and videographer field tests, and brutal lab tests. There were countless courier shipments, calls, texts, emails, and in-person conversations covering tear strength, comfort, gear fit, protection and beyond."

Shoulder pads, lockable sternum strap and removable belt enable better load distribution, comfort, and wider range of movement.

New adaptive and customizable dividers system.

Our patented MaxFit dividers and newly designed compression-molded structural dividers give you a fully modular interior that adapts to your gear.
