EDC is all about the right tool for the job, and that includes how you carry your gear as much as the gear itself. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to dump your sensitive tech or cameras into an open backpack with no padding or compartments, even if it was the sturdiest bag on the market. So at the crossroads of a robust everyday bag and one specially designed for your camera gear lies WNDRD’s PRVKE backpack. The latest iteration of this award-winning backpack takes their customer feedback and improves the PRVKE’s comfort and utility, making it a solid companion for EDCers, photographers, and traveling shutterbugs alike.
One top of being a bag specialized in protecting your camera gear and tech essentials, the PRVKE was designed to also be one of the most water resistant bags in the market. It’s built with a combination of tarpaulin and Robic 1680D ballistic nylon, using weather-resistant YKK zippers for its enclosures. To top it off (literally), an expandable roll-top compartment gives you an extra 5L of space for a spare change of clothes or other travel essentials, while keeping the water away from your critical gear inside.
The main compartment features a clamshell opening, so you can lay it flat to have its full capacity available to you as you pack with ease. On the inside of the front panel you’ll find a dedicated padded laptop sleeve for up to a 16“ MacBook Pro, as well as a tablet sleeve for a tablet up to 12.9”. This sleeve also features smaller pockets to help organize important documents and smaller essentials like pens, charging cables and USB sticks.
The main compartment is compatible with WNDRD’s camera cubes and internal dividers, or you can leave it empty for more space. A key feature on the PRVKE is a “quick-draw” side-opening for quickly getting your camera out in time to take the perfect shot. A fleece-lined tech pocket, a hidden passport pocket, a front-storage compartment and an adjustable sternum strap round out the bag’s thoughtful features.
This new PRVKE’s upgrades start with the exterior. with the back panel and shoulder straps featuring more comfortable padding to further cater to all body shapes and sizes. The hidden passport pocket is a bit bigger and more discreet. A much-requested luggage passthrough strap was added as well for frequent flyers with rolling luggage. The magnetic tote handles now come with stronger magnets for a more secure carry, along with an easier to use Key Hook for cinching everything closed.
Inside, the fleece-lined pocket no longer gets in the way when you’re trying to access the top compartment from inside the bag. The laptop sleeve includes three new pockets, for even more organization. Finally, other quality of life changes like removing flaps that got in the way, branding updates, updating zipper pullers, and Velcro closures give the PRVKE a fresh new fit and finish.
The bag is available in three different sizes: 21L, 31L, and 41L. These bags are available in three different colors: Blue, Green, and Black, except for the 41L version, which is only available in black. There’s also a Lite version which comes with 11 liters of storage and a built-in camera cube. With all its different features, organizational options, compatible accessories, and weather-ready build quality, the WNDRD PRVKE is worth a spot in anyone’s EDC, camera gear or otherwise.
