FAQs
What is FibreNyte material?
FibreNyte is a durable, weather-resistant synthetic material developed by Billingham as a modern alternative to traditional canvas. It offers excellent protection against the elements and is highly resistant to wear and tear.
How do I clean the leather trim?
Clean the leather trim with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, periodically apply a small amount of a reputable leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and protected.
Can I remove the shoulder pad?
Yes, the SP50 shoulder pad is designed to be attached to the adjustable shoulder strap, enhancing comfort. It can be easily slid on and off the strap as needed.
What is the advantage of the PressTop design?
The PressTop design features a weather-proof top flap that covers a double-puller zip. This allows for very rapid access to your camera or accessories without fully exposing the bag's contents.
Is the partition adjustable?
Yes, the bag includes an adjustable and removable padded SuperFlex partition. This allows you to customize the internal layout to fit your specific gear and provide optimal protection.
What is the warranty period for this bag?
The Billingham 307 comes with a 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.
Where is the bag made?
This Billingham bag is proudly made in England.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the top flap is not obstructing the zipper. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax to the teeth and gently work the zipper back and forth.
Partition is not staying in place.
Make sure the Velcro or loop system on the partition and inside the bag is clean and securely fastened. Ensure the partition is correctly seated within the bag's internal loops.
Water is seeping through the material.
Check the seams for any damage. The FibreNyte material is waterproof, but prolonged submersion or significant damage to seams may allow water ingress. Ensure the main flap is closed correctly.
