EVOC STAGE CAPTURE 16L BACKPACK

A week before the inaugural MADE handmade bike show, I realized I didn’t have a good way to carry multiple camera lenses and other essentials with me. I picked up an EVOC Stage Capture backpack last minute, picked it up on the way down to Portland, and crossed my fingers hoping that it would serve me well.

After four days of nearly non-stop photography at MADE and several other projects since then, I can confidently say that the Stage Capture fit the bill.

It was great having the separate lower compartment for extra lenses and an additional zippered area on top for snacks and water. On the off-chance that I didn’t need my camera in hand, there was ample room in the lower section for it alongside several lenses, and it’s designed so that you can swing the bag around and quickly access that compartment when you need it.

The pack has a well-ventilated rear back panel, a proper hip belt, and several other riding-friendly features that make it well-suited to far more than just covering bike shows.
