Photographer's Friend

Traveling fast and light while shooting photos means bringing only what you need, not leaving the essentials at home, and it’s in precisely those situations that the Mountainsmith Descent Small Photo Pack is in its element. Drawing off the experience of famed adventure photographer Keith Ladzinski, Mountainsmith built this pack with a padded interior that separates your spare lens from your camera body, which also means you have room to stash some extras if you’re only running one lens. It’s also expandable, courtesy of a zippered expansion panel, which lets you stash a layer, or accommodate longer lenses. But its best trick may be the sling design, which lets you access your camera in an instant, along with keeping it secured at your back for scrambling, climbing, and the countless other movements that go into getting the shot you’ve been working for.
