Description:	First conceived in the late 70's, the Packington's design has stood the test of time, and it's still one of our most popular models. Not only is it the stylish and comfortable way to carry cameras, laptops or video cameras, it also doubles as a roomy travel bag - the ideal companion to accompany you on a voyage around the world in eighty days, or journeying from pole to pole. Roomy zippered front pockets completely protected by a large rain flap with the Billingham Quick Release System. The entire front pocket is made from a single piece of canvas, darted to help give additional volume. Zippered main compartment contains a detachable, padded photo insert, which has been designed to leave room for additional expedition clutter. The zippered, external back pocket provides storage for documents. Adjustable waist strap attaches securely with our Quick Release System to prevent the bag swinging and for extra security. External Dimensions W425 x D160 x H315mm W16,3/8 x D6,1/4 X H12,1/4ins Internal Dimensions W340 x D120 x H240mm W13,1/4 x D4,3/4 x H9,1/4ins Item Weight: 1.7Kg

A fine piece of craftsmanship. Possibly Billingham's best bag and one of the best from any manufacturer. It is more 'briefcase style' (some of the photos are deceiving and make the bag appear 'squat'). So, think of it more likely a 'big Hadley' - deeper and longer but the same 'aspect ratio'. There's room to take a laptop and there is a fully customisable inner camera sleeve. The end pockets and front pockets are superb. It is a very versatile bag as it will take other stuff (e.g. clothes, notebooks, cell phones, diary) in addition to camera gear and a laptop, etc. This my best Billingham purchase and is fantastic for travel.
