Crumpler announce new backpacks

Australian bag designers, Crumpler, have just launched a range of stylish photo/computer backpacks and digital pouches - but don't let the names put you off, every Crumpler bag is manufactured to the highest of standards and is guaranteed for life! The Shrinkle and Brian's Hot Tub both feature a fully removable, padded laptop sleeve with zip pocket, so you can either take your laptop with you - or leave it behind. The Shrinkle accommodates a 15" laptop, while Brian's Hot Tub can hold a 17" laptop.

The main compartment of both models house a fully removable photo pack with adjustable photodividers and zip-around mesh cover. If the photo pack is removed, both the Shrinkle and Hot Tub are transformed into everyday backpacks - for holidays, days out, overnight bag etc. On the outside are loops to attach pouches and a tripod attachment.

The Formal Lounge and Farmers Double feature an extra padded laptop sleeve which can hold up to a 17" laptop with additional pocket for papers etc. There are two easy access front zip pockets with a secure main compartment, which is only accessible when it's off your back.

The lower part of the backpack is for photo equipment, computer equipment or accessory storage and is accessible via a strong, oversized zip.

All backpacks are manufactured from 1000d super strong waterproof Chicken Tex fabric with waterproof ripstop lining and feature strong zips, velcro fastenings, padded shoulder straps and adjustable chest strap.
