Versatility. We like how the Thule Covert Camera 24L Backpack gives us versatile options for our photography, traveling, and hiking. The pack features versatile carrying options with its backpack straps, removable shoulder strap, and removable hip belt, which allow us to throw our gear on our back, over our shoulder, or across our chest. The padded camera pod fits snugly into the pack for protection or can be carried on its own by its handle or worn as a sling pack with the removable shoulder strap. We can also access our camera, clothes, and gear three ways-with top panel access, back panel access, and side access to the camera pod-and organize our belongings many ways in the adjustable interior, which features approximately ten bazillion pockets. Thule designed the Covert pack to keep our camera safe, and it also features a padded tablet sleeve and padded laptop sleeve which fits up to 16-inch Mac products or 14-inch PCs. That's a ton of options packed into a 24-liter day pack.
