USA Tour with Pro Light Bumblebee-220 PL

When planning a trip, the luggage is always crucial, especially when flights are involved. That’s why I have decided to use Bumblebee-220 PL. This bag meets all general requirements for hand luggage for flights. I would recommend, however, always to read the provisions of the respective airlines, as there may be wide variations here. I had to fly with Delta Airlines: the hand luggage was no problem, but the dimensions of the suitcase were prescribed. I therefore had to take a smaller suitcase.

America in three weeks or three weeks of full program: 3500 km by car, several flights, major cities, national parks. This demands a lot from a photo backpack. Not only that it should be multifunctional. I also needed one that offers both plenty of space for the equipment, is not too heavy, is also suitable for drinks and jacket and optimum carrying comfort. Does it exist?? However, Bumblebee-220 PL is ideally suited for this.

Unusual for me were the carrying straps: thick rubber, reinforced by textile ribbons. Seem very stable, are easy to clean and, it is my impression, something massaging the shoulders thanks to a slight ribbing. Especially after an exhausting tour of Bryce Canyon (Utah), where you inevitably sweat a lot, I was impressed by the good fit of the backpack. Here I have also learned to appreciate the waist belt. This can be used, as well as the shoulder straps, to adapt optimally the body dimensions in a few steps.

Speaking of to adapt. Again, there is of course the possibility to configure the inside space to match your specific ideas. Exchangeable partitions and flexible partitions help to perfectly accommodate the equipment and provide excellent protection. My backpack has fallen down several times and rolled around a few meters. Anything never happened. Speaking for the CPS, the Manfrotto Protection System.

I was very surprised by the material of the backpack. Sometimes we had to deal with high temperatures. And when the sun shines directly and very long time on the backpack, the technology inside should not be damaged. The keyword is overheating! Again, I can only express positive opinion here. The integrated UV protection keeps what it promises.

I’m a big fan of small compartments. Of which there are really many. I was able to stow all small stuff (cables, adapters, pens, glasses, maps) without problems. There is also enough space for a laptop, or, as in my case, for a large iPad. For this purpose, a special compartment is (4cm wide, 48cm long and 32cm high) integrated, which makes the technology easily accessible and provides excellent protection.

Conclusion: a backpack, thoughtful to the smallest detail, professional and is not too heavy (about 3kg). Highly recommended for longer trips
