The Kiesel TZ500 Professional Style camera bag is made of heavyweight nylon and has some of the most water-resistant closures on the top flap we've ever seen. The top flap has a zipper to keep it shut, a Velcro closure on the fold-over area, and two snap locks on the front as well as one on each side near the shoulder strap rings.

Each of the eight vertical storage areas has a small top flap to further protect the contents when the top flap is open in wet conditions. This bag should provide superior weather protection for the valuable contents. It will easily accommodate two pro SLR 35mm or digital cameras, three to five additional lenses, a hot shoe flash, plus lots of smaller accessories. It could also be used with medium format equipment.

Inside the top are three transparent webbing pockets with zippers. A long shallow pocket on the back, two padded pockets on each end, and a padded front compartment all have zipper closures. The front pocket is sub divided into several smaller storage areas for cell phone or PDA, and includes a removable padded memory card wallet. As with other models from Kiesel, this bag is both attractive and appears to be ruggedly assembled with extra attention to detail work. It should offer excellent protection for a long time.
