About this deal

I’d love to see future revisions of this bag have a dedicated pouch or section to store smaller items like batteries and SD cards. This would really help solidify the PRVKE as a bag for photographers. I think this is definitely achievable by re-thinking the layout of the ‘camera cube’ insert. 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. Fully loaded with 31L (main) + 4L (roll-top) of gear, the PRVKE does look rather unusual… but in a good way! 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 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. 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. For me, I like all my clothing and accessories to be stylish, and that includes my photography gear (where possible!) Since I travel a lot and don’t always take the best care of everything, I also like it to be rugged and hard-wearing. Did I feel fashionable wearing this? Yup! This bag looks the part, and is very sleek, with a modern design. 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.

During the heavy rain whilst ascending Mt. Inari, the WANDRD PRVKE was an absolute trooper. All my contents remained dry, and that was without pulling out the dedicated rainfly. Surprisingly, there was still room on the inside to spare for my travel adapters and iPhone / Apple Watch chargers. There is, however, a handy integrated camera sling that keeps your camera hanging right next to your hip, although it’s mostly for smaller cameras. 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. 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.

Our ultimate destination, the Titcomb Basin, would prove to be a great trial grounds in addition to being just stunningly beautiful. In addition to this camera equipment, I also had a 15” MacBook Pro (with charger), INEO SSD case, and a few books. 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. 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 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. Although the removable Camera Cube was designed with a mirrorless system in mind (a body, plus a large and medium sized lens) the molded dividers make it possible to carry a full frame DSLR with lenses as well. I was able to fit a 5D Mark IV body, a 70-200mm F2.8 lens and a 24-70 F2.8 lens in the cube without any issues. The build of the WANDRD PRVKE 31 is excellent and provides impressive water resistance, even without the included rain cover.
