Strohl Mountain Light 45L Backpack

    Designed by Alex Strohl, you no longer need to choose between a mountain pack and a camera bag. With this bag, you get both.
     
    From day hikes to overnights, this bag is designed to be lightweight and nimble. With rugged custom materials, taped seams, thoughtful external storage, and modular elements, it’s weatherproof and adaptable to any type of mission you can think of. Quick Back panel access and a compact camera unit allow easy camera carry and fast capture. We also prioritized space for non-camera gear so you can bring what you need for long days in the mountains. Did we mention it’s the lightest camera backpack we’ve ever seen? Free yourself from clunky camera bags of the past, and welcome to Mountain Light by Alex Strohl.

    SKU: 106-157

    “The ultimate pack for minimalist hikers with a camera.”

    — Kraig Adams

    Which Size Should You Get?

    Not sure if you should get the Medium or the Large? All you need to do is measure your torso length. If you don’t know how to measure your torso length, grab a friend to help you measure and follow these tips:

    From day hikes to overnights, this bag is designed to be ultralight and nimble. While traditional backpacking packs weigh 2-3kg, the MTN Light 45L backpack saves you 1kg of extra fabric weight you don't need to carry.

    • Total Weight: 2lbs, 6oz (1.08kg)
    • Ultralight, waterproof Cordura ripstop fabric.
    • Taped seams for rugged protection
    • Removable waist belt pocket and internal frame to shed ounces

    Camera Ready

    Quick camera access was one of the main considerations of the MTN Light Series. The backpack provides quick back-panel access for fast capture. Pack your own ICU or add the MTN Light Camera Insert for the perfect fit inside the bag. It carries up to a Canon 5D size camera body and 4 lenses.

    Don't need the interior camera storage? Add the MTN Light Camera Loader for quick access to your camera at any point on the trail.

      Step 1

      Grab some measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler! Tilt your head forward and locate the highest bony bump at the base of your neck. This is your C7 vertebra—which is the top of your torso length.

      Step 2

      Tilt your head back up and place your hands on each side of your body to find the top of your hip bones— this center point along your spine is the iliac center and the bottom of your torso length.

    • An image without an alt, whoops

      Step 3

      Have your friend measure the distance between the two points to find your torso length. If your torso length is over 18”, you’ll want the large. If it falls between 17-18.5”, get the Medium. And if it’s under 17”, know that we see you! We hope to introduce a Small size in the future.
