The VEO CITY B46 is a great looking 23 litre backpack that doesn't compromise on performance, and fits up to a pro level DSLR camera with up to 6 lenses, accessories, a 16" laptop and a tripod.

Photography News say, "The VEO CITY B46 is a great looking backpack perfect for city breaks, with durability, comfort and style that will draw attention for only the right reasons", and Amateur Photographer have awarded it a coveted Gold Star review. VEO CITY backpacks are available in a range of sizes to meet your needs.

The VEO CITY Series is a collection of bags that delivers a sleek, modern design to match your style, while being packed with innovative storage solutions, keeping your gear well organised and safe on the go.

The VEO CITY Backpacks are designed for DSLR and mirrorless cameras while organising your accessories.

These backpacks are constructed with Air Textured Yarn that creates a tough 1050D nylon shell and is coated in a durable water repellent, with 2-layers of water-resistant polyurethane and waterproof zips to create a tough, weatherproof shell, with a separate rain cover for the wettest days. This outer shell then covers high density, shock absorbent cross-linked polyethylene (XPE) foam under armour that keeps your kit safe from the knocks and bumps of everyday life.

The backpacks are designed with rear access and 23L capacity, and the VEO CITY B46 is designed to carry up to a pro DSLR camera and up to 6 lenses (up to 70-200mm f2.8) in the main compartment. The slimline dividers are designed to maximise the space available while protecting your kit, and can be adjusted to your preferred layout.

Full access to your kit is through the back for maximum security, but the backpack can be set up for quick top access to your camera.

There is also a removable top compartment that gives some space for personal kit, or more camera kit.

The backpack is packed with storage options, including:

Expanding side pockets for a water bottle or a tripod

Two zipped mesh pockets on the inside front flap

Pouch on the inside front flap for a 16" laptop

Inner zip-up pocket on the side

RFID protected pocket in the top flap

Hidden pocket on the rear below the trolley strap

Expanding pocket on a shoulder strap

In addition, the backpack comes with an accessories pouch which offers an additional 1.8L capacity to organise cables, cards and much more. This can be carried in the backpack, or attached to the front of the backpack to free up space inside for additional lenses. It can also be used separately as a small sling bag to keep valuables like passports close to hand as you explore.

For maximum comfort as you travel, there is a 4D AIR Fibre padded back. This contours to your back to maximise comfort, while the fibres maximise the ventilation to keep you cool. The shoulder straps also incorporate Honeycomb TPE padding that help reduce the strain, and there is a built-in adjustable chest strap to keep the shoulder straps from slipping as you travel.

The backpack also comes with a detachable dual purpose strap. This can be used as a waist strap for the backpack for longer trips, or as a shoulder strap when using the accessories pouch separately.
