Mountainsmith Reflex Kit Bag, Large

Date Published: 7/28/08

The Mountainsmith Reflex Kit Bag is a moderate-size bag suitable for safely transporting and protecting either several small cameras or a larger SLR body along with attached lens plus a spare lens and accessory flash plus some smaller accessories.

Mountainsmith is a brand name of a firm that has produced rugged outdoor equipment for many years and who has recently expanded into photo equipment bags.

The main interior compartment of the Reflex Kit Bag has both a zipper around the edge plus a weather flap that has a small pocket for small items. A soft Tricot lining protects the contents.

Two thickly padded dividers are adjustable with Velcro fasteners to arrange the interior to fit your equipment. There is a front zippered pocket the length of the bag that has several internal pockets to keep things organized. Each end has a mesh pocket with an elastic top suitable for extra rolls of film or similar sized items. Another zippered mesh pocket is inside the top flap. The removable, adjustable shoulder strap is padded for comfort and has a pivoting swivel attachment to the bag itself. There is a padded handle on the top.

The entire Mountainsmith Reflex Kit Bag is nicely assembled with attention to details, such as convenient pull-tabs on the zippers and tightly sewn seams. It looks like it should hold up well under years of use, and the price is quite moderate.
