FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Hadley Pro 2020?

Its primary advantage is the combination of excellent weather resistance, durable construction, and a versatile design that allows it to function as both a dedicated camera bag and a casual everyday bag thanks to its removable padded insert.

Can this bag fit a professional DSLR with a large lens?

Yes, it can accommodate most DSLRs or mirrorless cameras with a standard lens attached, as well as multiple additional lenses and accessories. For very large lenses, check the internal dimensions against your specific equipment.

How do I clean the bag?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric or weatherproofing.

Is the shoulder strap removable?

Yes, the shoulder sling is completely removable and adjustable, offering flexibility in how you carry the bag.

What makes the back pocket weather-proof?

The back pocket features a specialized rainproof zip, designed to prevent water ingress and protect important documents or items stored within.

How does the luggage trolley retainer strap work?

The strap is located on the back of the bag and allows you to slide it over the handle of your rolling luggage, securing the camera bag to your suitcase for easier travel.

What are the different color/material options?

The Hadley Pro 2020 is available in various combinations, such as Khaki FibreNyte/Chocolate and Burgundy/Chocolate, offering different aesthetic choices.

Troubleshooting

Bag feels stiff initially

The durable canvas and weatherproofing treatments can make the bag feel stiff when new. Use it regularly; it will soften and break in over time with use.

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there are no obstructions in the zipper track. A small amount of zipper lubricant or beeswax can help improve smoothness. For the rainproof zip, ensure the flap is correctly aligned.

Water seeping through fabric

The butyl rubber layer provides significant water resistance. If water is penetrating, the fabric may need re-proofing or there might be a minor abrasion. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Straps feel uncomfortable

Adjust the length of the shoulder sling for optimal weight distribution. Ensure the padded insert is correctly positioned to balance the load within the bag.
