Think Tank Retrospective 30 V2.0 - Black

Think Tank Retrospective 30 V2.0 – Classic canvas rucksack with dedicated 15" laptop pocket

Whether bushwhacking through the outback or horse packin’ in the Wild West, the Retrospective Series is built for back-road adventure travel. The Retrospective 30 V2.0 keeps a classic-styled look while adding practical updates for modern camera users.

Design and access

This classic-styled rucksack features rugged yet form-fitting canvas treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to help repel the elements. A zippered security flap under the lid tucks away for rapid top access. In addition, the back panel offers full access to your gear and includes room for a laptop. Overall, thoughtful construction and a comfortable harness let you focus on the shot.

V2.0 updates

The Retrospective V2.0 shoulder bags retain the classic look but include several practical refinements. They keep a soft, form-fitting design and are lighter than the original. For greater security, the V2.0 adds a zippered opening under the main flap that tucks away when not in use.
