Think Tank Retrospective 4 V2.0, Black – Classic canvas rucksack with DWR water-repellant finish

Quick and secure access to your gear

The bag features a zippered security flap under the lid that tucks away for rapid top access. In addition, the back panel provides full access to your gear, including room for a laptop. These access points let you reach essentials quickly while maintaining security when you need it.

Think Tank built the Retrospective 4 V2.0 with superior construction and a comfortable harness to help you carry gear over longer distances. The bag retains a soft, form-fitting silhouette with a minimalist outer appearance, while updated features make it lighter than earlier versions.
