TeNba DNa 16 slIm

This Messenger bag is part of the DNA range from Tenba and they are apparently inspired by “New York City’s tenacious bike messengers”. Not exactly sure what a bike messenger would be doing with a satchel capable of holding cameras, laptops and tablets but hey, however you want to sell it! That aside, this is actually quite a versatile bag, ideal for many things but has been clearly designed with a photographer in mind.

It fits a camera and up to 6 lenses as well as being able to squeeze a laptop (up to 15”) and a tablet (up to 11”) in at the same time. Pretty handy if out in the wild and you need to upload those photos pretty quick or save the pics to your laptop from a memory card before getting back to taking photos. This isn’t the only thing that’s going to help however. The bottom 1.5 inches of the satchel is completely waterproof so you can confidently place it down on a wet surface with no worries of anything critical getting damaged. It also has a ‘Whisper Hook’ clasp on the main flap so that you can open it silently and not disturb all that wildlife you’re carefully taking pics of. Alternatively, there is a top zipper so that you don’t need to open the entirety of the bag and is much easier to access. Also keeps the contents of the bag hidden more easily – you don’t want everyone to know you’re walking around with an expensive camera and laptop after-all!

The internal container for the camera is removable which is where the versatility I mentioned earlier comes in. You can still make use of the sized compartments for the laptop and tablet and I suddenly like this bag a lot more! A decent carrying strap makes this a pretty good investment.
