Would you like the freedom to observe with more ease and more comfort? That’s what Lowepro's Scope Porter 200 AW gives wildlife watchers. This inventive, patent-pending backpack design offers a hands-free, protective and supportive way to carry a large-sized spotting scope and tripod in the field. Its unique attachment system makes the Scope Porter 200 AW ideal for a variety of wildlife scenarios and terrains. Use the pack to carry your scope-tripod set up while you walk. Set it down, unzip the main compartment and for an on-the-spot observation. Remove the scope-tripod from the pack and use the auxiliary tripod collar and Easy Clip to attach it to either shoulder strap. The padded main compartment is adjustable to fit your valuable scope and protect it while in motion or when transporting in a vehicle. The suspension system is designed with nine adjustment points, offering a custom and comfortable fit - from the load-lifting straps at the top of the back to the stabilizing straps at the waist and hip. The thickly padded and mesh-covered backpad, shoulder straps and waist belt offer long-wearing comfort and breathability. The Scope Porter 200 AW includes a hydration-ready side compartment sized to fit up to a 70 oz. (2 L) reservoir. An organizational compartment on the opposite side provides multiple storage spaces for binoculars, a small camera, keys, pen/pencil, field guides and other personal items. Thoughtful details such as a stretch-mesh front pocket, SlipLock attachment loops, rubberized grab handle and safety whistle (built into the sternum strap buckle) create ease and convenience for a day in the wilderness. Lowepro's patented All Weather AW Cover protects gear from the elements when the pack is used with or without an attached tripod.
