I’d be keen to try the smaller 21L PRVKE variant in the future. I think it could be the perfect out-and-about bag, and ideal for short breaks. This would also be really well suited to those with smaller frames, or teenagers who don’t want a bag the size of their torso. Fully loaded with 31L (main) + 4L (roll-top) of gear, the PRVKE does look rather unusual… but in a good way! The WANDRD PRVKE is clearly a hipster-style bag, with the fashion-conscious photographer in mind. It draws little attention to itself as a camera bag, but lots of compliments for how unique it looks. Even with an estimated 14kg load, plus the 1.5kg of the bag itself, the weight felt very evenly distributed. However, don’t dismiss it as a mere accessory for hipsters with more money than sense! It’s much more than that, and has received several awards for its innovation and design.

It really feels like it’s designed to last. In the Wandrd PRVKE 31L, I’m able to fit two Fujifilm X-T4 bodies, three lenses, two flashes, and two flash triggers. I could fit more if I swapped out the Essential Cube for the Pro+, which takes up some of the roll-top storage. I’m able to stash a number of things in the roll-top, from a dual camera strap to a sweatshirt and a lunch. All of the gear that we managed to fit in the PRVKE 31. Not pictured is our tapestry and primary camera body, which we used to take this photo.I was told I looked ‘Kawaii’ (cute) whilst wearing it in Japan. Can you design my wardrobe next, WANDRD?!

Users can attach accessories on one of several loops found on the shoulder straps of the PRVKE 31. Outdoorsman may find these a good place for something like a radio while photographers may, as mentioned before, use these for a camera clip. I’ve now had a chance to test three of the four sizes of the Wandrd PRVKE — the Lite, the 41L and the 31L. While they all share similar features, there are a few key differences to note. The 41L is designed to fit larger gear, while if you want to fit more gear but use a smaller mirrorless body, the 31L with the Pro+ cube may be the better option. The PRVKE allowed me to carry more equipment than I usually could with my LowePro 450 AW II, in part thanks to thin and carefully considered dividers. In addition to this camera equipment, I also had a 15” MacBook Pro (with charger), INEO SSD case, and a few books.

After 2 weeks of intensive usage, the only issue I’ve had is a slight tear to the inside of the left shoulder strap where it connects with the bag. Users can access the PRVKE’s three main compartments via several entry points. As previously mentioned, a lateral zipper provides access to the main compartment, which is where the bulk of your camera gear will be stored. At the top of the bag is the rolltop, which is also quite easy to access. A clip at the top of bag secures the rolltop and is quite snug and easily adjusted.

I would probably not bother adding a waist strap to the three smaller sizes of this bag, but I would definitely consider it on the PRVKE 41 if I was really loading it up with camera gear. With a 40+ litre bag, you can definitely reach a weight where it would be helpful to spread some of that load directly to your hips. Sternum strap details. If you are using a gripped mirrorless camera, a gripped DSLR or a pro-sized camera body such as the Canon R3 or Nikon Z9, you will need to move up to the PRVKE 41 to use either the Essential Deep or Pro Deep camera cube. You cannot use a gripped or pro-sized body in the PRVKE Lite, PRVKE 21 or PRVKE 31. PRVKE Feature Review Harness and Comfort Even though one could get away using elastic chords to arrest these objects, I highly recommend investing in WANDRD’s own adjustable accessory straps. They’re very easy to use and latch simply onto the bag. Though there’s not a one-size-fits-all camera bag, I think the PRVKE would fit a wide array of body sizes. The shoulder straps are well padded and feel comfortable on the shoulders. The straps can be loosened and tightened via a synch found at their bottoms and doing so will make the bag more or less comfortable. Unfortunately, there are no synches at the top of the shoulder straps, which would help to bring the top of the bag closer to the shoulders for proper weight distribution. The inability to synch the bag at the shoulders, though somewhat minor and only hampering when the bag is fully loaded, was perhaps our biggest gripe that we had with the bag.

Expanded WANDRD PRVKE 31 Backpack V3 Key Features:

Made of a watertight tarpaulin skin and an inner nylon layer, the WANDRD PRVKE 31 is built to last. All the zippers feel solid and high-quality, similar to those of Thule products. The build of the WANDRD PRVKE 31 is excellent and provides impressive water resistance, even without the included rain cover.

Thanks to its solid construction and well-thought-out design, the PRVKE 31 offers great protection for all types of gear. With lots of weather sealing in addition to a rain fly (sold separately) the PRVKE 31 should stand up very well to the elements. No matter where you end up storing your items, they are sure to be safe. Surprisingly, there was still room on the inside to spare for my travel adapters and iPhone / Apple Watch chargers. The added depth in the PRVKE 41 means the top section feels significantly larger. If you are heading out for a longer hike with this bag, you can easily fit a pair of top layers in there, along with rain pants, binoculars, In-Reach or GPS device and food and water for a long day. Value for money is always a tough one to gauge since it’s highly subjective. How much do you value how something looks, vs how it functions, for example. The overall design of the PRVKE 31 is very efficient. Functionality is tip-top and the materials used are both practical and good looking. There little if any parts to this bag that feel superfluous or unnecessary.

On the outside of the bag, I clipped on my MPB Harrier Carbon Fibre Tripod with 3 Legged Thing AirHed 2 and a 1L water bottle. I will say that I’ve seen bags with more loops and customizable features. That being said, the PRVKE 31 succeeded in providing the right kind of customizable options by allowing users to secure large objects snugly on the rear and underneath. Give me a place to put a tripod or sleeping mat and we’re golden. Did I feel fashionable wearing this? Yup! This bag looks the part, and is very sleek, with a modern design. I’ve used this bag in a variety of different situations and I’ve yet to notice anything major that I didn’t like about it. While it may not be the ideal bag for traveling with multiple camera bodies (although it isn’t impossible), for a one body, two lens shoot that requires me to bring a laptop along, it’s the closest to a perfect bag that I’ve found. The PRVKE 31 is primarily made from a combination of tarpaulin and robic nylon. Tarpaulin (commonly referred to as tarp) is water phobic, tough, and flexible. Robic nylon, of ubiquitous use in outdoor gear, is equally reliable and known for being very resistant to the elements. These materials do their job very well.
