Think Tank Airport Essentials 26L Summary
The smallest backpack in the Airport range combines compact dimensions for regional flights and smaller aircraft with space for a substantial camera kit. It accommodates standard-size camera bodies and lenses up to 300mm f/2.8, with a rear compartment for a 16-inch MacBook Pro and 10-inch tablet.
A full-width divider allows the main compartment to be split between camera gear and personal items, providing flexibility for mixed travel loads. Locking zippers, an integrated cable lock and hidden security pocket help protect equipment and valuables in transit.
What’s New
A new rear computer compartment improves access to a laptop, tablet and paperwork, while freeing up the front pocket for personal items, with an organiser and key lanyard.
The main compartment gains a full-width divider for separating camera gear and personal belongings. Zippered side pockets replace the previous stretch pockets, with straps above for a tripod or water bottle.
Other updates include a revised back panel and shoulder straps, a security pocket in the luggage pass-through, padded dividers with accessory pockets and new interior and exterior fabrics.
In More Detail
Organisation and Security
Padded dividers configure the main compartment around different camera kits, with accessory pockets built into three dividers and additional zippered mesh storage inside the lid.
Locking main-compartment zippers are supplemented by an integrated cable lock, while a hidden pocket beneath the luggage pass-through provides discreet storage for a passport, cash or other valuables.
Carrying and Travel
A removable stabiliser belt supports heavier loads and can be tucked away when not required. Handles on all four sides make the backpack easier to lift into overhead compartments or vehicles, while the rear pass-through fits over compatible rolling luggage handles.
Materials and Weather Protection
The exterior combines 420D nylon mini ripstop, 1260D poly ballistic nylon and 600D polyester with a durable water-repellent coating. A seam-sealed rain cover provides additional protection in wet conditions.
