The ALTA SKY 42 is the smallest backpack in the Alta Sky Series, designed to carry a mirrorless camera with up to a 600mm lens attached (or a DSLR camera with a smaller lens), and an additional 4 lenses.  All protected in the sturdy, well padded material that the Alta Sky series is renowned for.

It also comes with a removable sleeve that is designed to be used to offer additional protection to a long lens, or to carry a spotting scope securely.

Full access to your kit is through the rear of the backpack, with quick top access to your chosen camera/lens combo.

The secure rear compartment includes a pouch that can carry up to a 12.9" tablet (compartment is 240 x 25 x 380mm), while on the front is a pocket for accessories such as cables and SD cards, with expandable neoprene pockets on either side for water bottles and another items.

The interior is a light, bright orange that allows you to clearly see the contents of the bag, even in low light conditions. Or in the event of an emergency on your trek, can help you attract attention by making you more visible.

The Alta Sky 42 can also carry a tripod in the centre for optimal balance, with a tuck away tripod foot if needed.

Constructed to be tough and weatherproof with our total coverage rain cover, the Alta Sky Series is designed to protect your valuable kit in the most arduous conditions.

Designed for the most rugged terrain with an advanced ergonomic back and harness system features a well-padded breathable 3D back, uniquely shaped easily to adjust shoulder straps that perfectly contour to your back and torso, adjustable sternum strap and waist belt that can be folded away when not needed. All these join together to promise a ‘never-tire’ user experience!
