Retrospective Backpack 15L

Think Tank Photo debuted the Retrospective Backpack 15L designed for adventure travel photography. This classic-styled rucksack features rugged yet form-fitting canvas 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 a 15-inch laptop.

“The combination of photo and personal gear carry makes the Retrospective Backpack the perfect bag for adventure travel,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank CEO and Lead Designer. “It’s a natural addition to the Retrospective shoulder bag series, with all of the style and design details that have made the line so popular.”

The new bag features:

  • Soft and form-fitting with minimalist outer appearance
  • Top and rear-panel access to camera gear
  • Dedicated pocket fits up to a 15” laptop
  • 20L of total storage: 15L enclosed space plus 5L additional for personal gear in the front pocket
  • Configurable main compartment for camera gear or personal gear
  • Tripod attachment on side or front panel
  • Two collapsible water bottle pockets
  • Compatible with Think Tank Modular pouches
  • Organizer pocket
  • Zippered pocket for valuables and small items
  • Adjustable sternum slider
  • Removable webbing waist belt
  • Seam-sealed rain cover included
