Product Information

Full details

The Vanguard VEO Metro B25L backpack in Burgundy is designed for urban photographers who need a durable and accessible way to carry their gear. Its key benefit is the combination of rugged, water-resistant construction with smart, quick-access compartments for camera equipment and personal items, along with a dedicated tracker pocket. A potential caveat is its 25-litre capacity, which might be limiting for extensive travel beyond day trips. This backpack offers a 16-inch laptop sleeve, versatile access points, and expandable storage.

FAQs

What type of camera does this backpack support?

The backpack is designed to carry a full-frame camera with up to 4 lenses, including larger ones like a 70-200mm f2.8.

Can I carry a tripod with this backpack?

Yes, the expandable side pockets are designed to securely hold a tripod or a water bottle.

How does the dual access system work?

You can access your gear via a full rear opening for security and organization, or through a fast side opening for quick retrieval of your camera while the bag is still on your shoulder.

Is the backpack suitable for travel beyond day trips?

The 25-litre capacity is ideal for day trips and short excursions. For longer travel, you might need additional luggage.

Does it come with a rain cover?

Yes, the backpack includes an integrated rain cover for protection during inclement weather.

What is the purpose of the hidden rear pocket?

The hidden rear pocket is designed to hold valuables securely. There is also a separate, dedicated pocket for Air Tags or Tile trackers.

How do I clean the backpack?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Allow it to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Backpack feels uncomfortable

Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and waist strap for a balanced and secure fit. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly.

Camera not fitting easily

Reconfigure the internal dividers. Ensure you are using the appropriate access point (rear or side) for your needs.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zippers with a brush and apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zippers.

Water is getting inside the bag

Ensure the main zippers are fully closed. Use the included rain cover during wet weather conditions.

Laptop compartment feels too snug

Verify the laptop size does not exceed 16 inches. The compartment is designed for a snug fit to prevent movement.
