About this deal

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. 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.

Even with an estimated 14kg load, plus the 1.5kg of the bag itself, the weight felt very evenly distributed. The PRVKE allowed me to carry more equipment than I usually could with my LowePro 450 AW II, in part thanks to thin and carefully considered dividers. I will say that I’ve seen bags with more loops and customizable features. That being said, the PRVKE 31 succeeded in providing the right kind of customizable options by allowing users to secure large objects snugly on the rear and underneath. Give me a place to put a tripod or sleeping mat and we’re golden. Made of a watertight tarpaulin skin and an inner nylon layer, the WANDRD PRVKE 31 is built to last. All the zippers feel solid and high-quality, similar to those of Thule products. 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.I was told I looked ‘Kawaii’ (cute) whilst wearing it in Japan. Can you design my wardrobe next, WANDRD?! 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. In the long term, I’m confident that this bag will hold up. It really feels like it’s designed to last.

You can get A LOT of gear in here. I was able to 2 DSLR body’s, a handful of lenses, and a medium format camera with an attached lens in with still extra room.Did I feel fashionable wearing this? Yup! This bag looks the part, and is very sleek, with a modern design. The added depth in the PRVKE 41 means the top section feels significantly larger. If you are heading out for a longer hike with this bag, you can easily fit a pair of top layers in there, along with rain pants, binoculars, In-Reach or GPS device and food and water for a long day. Surprisingly, there was still room on the inside to spare for my travel adapters and iPhone / Apple Watch chargers. Our Camera Cube (size medium) did a good job of holding my camera gear. The included dividers were a little more dense and rigid than the generic padded ones that I’m used to but they raised no alarms. I will say that the actual space available, though appropriate for my mirrorless system, may seem a little cramped for some full frame users or those with a ton of gear. You can, I imagine, buy a second camera cube and put it in the top compartment but I can’t comment on the efficacy of this option. The shoulder straps are well padded and feel comfortable on the shoulders. The straps can be loosened and tightened via a synch found at their bottoms and doing so will make the bag more or less comfortable. Unfortunately, there are no synches at the top of the shoulder straps, which would help to bring the top of the bag closer to the shoulders for proper weight distribution. The inability to synch the bag at the shoulders, though somewhat minor and only hampering when the bag is fully loaded, was perhaps our biggest gripe that we had with the bag.

The foam seems dense enough to keep my gear safe yet still feels lightweight enough with a fully loaded bag.

If you are using a gripped mirrorless camera, a gripped DSLR or a pro-sized camera body such as the Canon R3 or Nikon Z9, you will need to move up to the PRVKE 41 to use either the Essential Deep or Pro Deep camera cube. You cannot use a gripped or pro-sized body in the PRVKE Lite, PRVKE 21 or PRVKE 31. PRVKE Feature Review Harness and Comfort Though there’s not a one-size-fits-all camera bag, I think the PRVKE would fit a wide array of body sizes. 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. 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. 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.
