The CompuPrimus AW is designed for the serious enthusiast or professional photographer who wants a dual-compartment camera backpack that treads lightly on the planet and carries a notebook computer. The rugged outer material is made of 100% post-consumer recycled Cyclepet®--providing high water and abrasion resistance while remaining environmentally friendly. An ergonomic, 8-point adjustable harness system with DryFlo™ lining distributes weight evenly and allows for breathable comfort. The roomy lower compartment has adjustable padded dividers to organize your pro-sized camera gear. The upper compartment includes organization pockets and space for additional accessories or personal gear. In addition, an outside “hatch” pocket with compression straps creates ideal storage space for a jacket or hydration system. A full set of premium features includes: All Weather Cover™, Glide-Lock™ system, Hideaway Tripod Mount, side access panel, and memory card pockets. Includes a removable notebook sleeve with integrated sunshade to reduce glare. A portion of the proceeds from each Primus AW backpack will be donated to Polar Bears International (PBI), a non-profit organization dedicated to the worldwide preservation of the polar bear.
