Think Tank Retrospective 4 V2.0 – Classic canvas rucksack with DWR and rapid top/back access
The Think Tank Retrospective 4 V2.0 is a classic-styled rucksack designed for back-road adventure travel. It uses rugged, form-fitting canvas treated with a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish. You get rapid top access via a zippered security flap under the lid and full rear-panel access to your gear when you need it.
Built for travel and field use
Whether you’re bushwhacking through remote terrain or traveling on uneven roads, the Retrospective Series is built for back-road adventure travel. The bag combines superior construction and comfortable carrying features so you can concentrate on the shot. Think Tank’s proven design offers a soft, form-fitting exterior that still repels the elements and protects your gear.
Design and access
The pack features a minimalist outer appearance with a classic rucksack silhouette. For security and fast operation, the main compartment has a zippered opening under the front flap that tucks away when not in use. Additionally, the back panel provides complete access to your equipment for quick changes in the field and organized packing.
