The main pocket access comes from the side and top and can hold a hydration reservoir.
Best backpack with side access.
Designed with a hatch style opening it s secure and gives you side access to your gear.
The waist belt tends to get in the way a bit when unzipping the back panel right to the bottom though.
Finally you can store a cell phone and camera in the waist belt s two zippered pockets for quick access on the go.
Plus the removable and customisable compartments help to keep everything organised and protected.
Access through a large side panel as well as through the top of the pack makes organising gear and equipment a breeze.
The straps adjust quickly making it easy to flip the backpack sideways for panel access.
So of course the lowepro photo hatchback made our list.
Two packs that feature dual side access are the freeline and the protactic camera backpacks.
You can access camera gear from either side of the backpack while the separate section that forms the top half of the bag is ideal for stowing daily essentials.
This backpack comes in either black or midnight blue.
Stay secure in the city.
The protactic ii also includes full body side access for easy setup and access to all the gear in the pack at once.
On each side is a bottle pocket which accommodates a traditionally vertical bottle or allows you to tilt the bottle forward for easier access while the backpack is on.
Lowepro is another brand known for making some of the best camera backpacks and bags on the market.
