Whether bushwhacking through the outback or horse packin’ in the Wild West, the Retrospective Series is built for back-road adventure travel. This classic-styled rucksack features rugged yet form-fitting canvas that is treated with DWR to repel the elements. A zippered security flap under the lid tucks away to provide rapid top access, while the back panel offers full access to your gear – including room for laptop. Superior construction, comfortable harness and legendary Think Tank quality inspires confidence so you can focus on the shot.

The Retrospective shoulder bags: The Retrospective 30 V2.0 shoulder bag retains that classic look but includes many innovative new features.
