Description
I would probably not bother adding a waist strap to the three smaller sizes of this bag, but I would definitely consider it on the PRVKE 41 if I was really loading it up with camera gear. With a 40+ litre bag, you can definitely reach a weight where it would be helpful to spread some of that load directly to your hips. Sternum strap details.
There is, however, a handy integrated camera sling that keeps your camera hanging right next to your hip, although it’s mostly for smaller cameras. Fully loaded with 31L (main) + 4L (roll-top) of gear, the PRVKE does look rather unusual… but in a good way! However, don’t dismiss it as a mere accessory for hipsters with more money than sense! It’s much more than that, and has received several awards for its innovation and design.
WANDRD PRVKE 31 Backpack V3 Product Video:
After 2 weeks of intensive usage, the only issue I’ve had is a slight tear to the inside of the left shoulder strap where it connects with the bag. Users can attach accessories on one of several loops found on the shoulder straps of the PRVKE 31. Outdoorsman may find these a good place for something like a radio while photographers may, as mentioned before, use these for a camera clip. In the Wandrd PRVKE 31L, I’m able to fit two Fujifilm X-T4 bodies, three lenses, two flashes, and two flash triggers. I could fit more if I swapped out the Essential Cube for the Pro+, which takes up some of the roll-top storage. I’m able to stash a number of things in the roll-top, from a dual camera strap to a sweatshirt and a lunch.
Did I feel fashionable wearing this? Yup! This bag looks the part, and is very sleek, with a modern design.For those who fly often, the PRVKE 31 is a handy travel companion. It meets carry-on requirements so you won’t have to worry about your gear getting banged around in the cargo hold. While compiling this section, I discovered that a lot of retailers are also still selling the original, now old, version of the PRVKE. If you want the latest version, make sure you look for some confirmation that this is what you are getting. Some call the new one the “New PRVKE”, some call it “PRVKE V2”, some call it “PRVKE – Second Edition”. If you are unsure whether a third-party retailer will try and sneakily sell you the old version, buy direct from WANDRD! WANDRD PRVKE Lite This is a similar story with the WANDRD Hexad Access Duffel, which allows customisation with cubes too. On the outside of the bag, I clipped on my MPB Harrier Carbon Fibre Tripod with 3 Legged Thing AirHed 2 and a 1L water bottle. In the long term, I’m confident that this bag will hold up. It really feels like it’s designed to last.
A common question regarding the PRVKE is whether to choose the 21 or the 31. Despite there now being two additional sizes in the lineup, I still expect the 21 and 31 to be the most popular. Looking at the dimensions from the specification section, you can see that the PRVKE 31 is larger in every way, but never by a huge amount. One important dimension, though, is depth. Though there’s not a one-size-fits-all camera bag, I think the PRVKE would fit a wide array of body sizes.
The foam seems dense enough to keep my gear safe yet still feels lightweight enough with a fully loaded bag. Value for money is always a tough one to gauge since it’s highly subjective. How much do you value how something looks, vs how it functions, for example. When it comes to getting the shoulder strap fixed, I’m confident that WANDRD’s excellent customer service will handle the repair with minimum fuss. From an environmental point of view, it’s much better to get a repair than a replacement, too. The WANDRD PRVKE is clearly a hipster-style bag, with the fashion-conscious photographer in mind. It draws little attention to itself as a camera bag, but lots of compliments for how unique it looks. During the heavy rain whilst ascending Mt. Inari, the WANDRD PRVKE was an absolute trooper. All my contents remained dry, and that was without pulling out the dedicated rainfly.
Even with an estimated 14kg load, plus the 1.5kg of the bag itself, the weight felt very evenly distributed. Users can access the PRVKE’s three main compartments via several entry points. As previously mentioned, a lateral zipper provides access to the main compartment, which is where the bulk of your camera gear will be stored. At the top of the bag is the rolltop, which is also quite easy to access. A clip at the top of bag secures the rolltop and is quite snug and easily adjusted. The build of the WANDRD PRVKE 31 is excellent and provides impressive water resistance, even without the included rain cover. As you can see from the dimensions of the various camera cubes, there is very little difference between the Regular depth and the Plus depth. Just 0.5 inches. If you are shooting with a mirrorless camera you can choose to use either the Regular depth or the Plus depth. This is also the same as choosing between the PRVKE 21 and PRVKE 31 since those are the bags designed for those depths of the cube. Designed for the outdoors, this bag feels really well-engineered in terms of comfort, something which other manufacturers overlook for the sake of fitting in every piece of camera kit possible.
When choosing the PRVKE that is right for you, all you need to do is analyze what it is you want to carry. Then match that with the recommendations above. If it looks like the PRVKE Lite is the right one for you, do not worry that you are getting some sort of low-end, bottom-of-the-rung version of the PRVKE. This is absolutely not the case. The PRVKE Lite is simply the smallest PRVKE. It looks, feels and acts just like its bigger siblings. PRVKE 21 Vs. 31 Before we go any further, I need to drop some knowledge on you. The Peak Design Capture Clip is a cheap, game-changing tool for adventure photographers that lets you keep your camera within arm’s reach when hiking or moving about a city, without the camera ever getting in the way when you are not taking photos.
