MindShift Gear has introduced PhotoCross (www.mindshiftgear.com/photocross?rfsn=481549.d5f91), a new line of sling bags designed for adventure photographers. Built to withstand the elements, yet comfortable enough to wear on long days in the field, they feature weatherproof zippers and abrasion-resistant materials, plus a carrying system for tripods or jackets.

PhotoCross Sling Bags. Two colors, two sizes.

"The PhotoCross sling bags are significant because they meld two concepts that are often in conflict in outdoor gear design: protection and comfort," said Doug Murdoch, MindShift Gear's CEO and lead designer. "An example is how we've integrated the waterproof Tarpaulin bottom panel with a body-conforming design, wide shoulder strap and stability wing for superior comfort."

Available in orange ember or carbon gray, the PhotoCross comes in two sizes:

  • The $114.99 PhotoCross 10 fits an ungripped dSLR and one to two lenses, plus a 10-inch tablet or a Mirrorless body and three to five lenses, plus a 10-inch tablet.
  • The $129.99 PhotoCross 13 fits an ungripped dSLR, two to four lenses, including a 70 -- 200mm f2.8 and some 13-inch laptops.
