Our Verdict

The 18L is perfect for travel on the go as it meets most international carry-on requirements, while comfortably storing 2 standard DSLR kits with 1—2 spare lenses and room for personal items to boot.

The quick rear access panel is really what sets the ‘Backlight’ range apart – we love the extra security it offers, as well as the ergonomic ‘front-swing’ design for quick access.
