Think Tank PressPass Sling Bag – Dedicated sling with a wide-aperture, quick-access main opening

Designed with input from professional photojournalists, the Think Tank PressPass Sling Bag gives you fast access and flexible carry options. The PressPass Series supports crossbody carry, shoulder carry, belt pack use, and sling carry. The sling version focuses on quick retrieval of gear and flexible interior space.

Fast access and adaptable interior

This opening uses self-locking YKK RC Fuse zippers so the front pocket can fully open for straightforward access to your camera or lenses.

A rain cover is stored in the bottom pocket for added protection when needed and can be removed if you do not need it.
