About this bag

Based on the ever popular Hadley Original, the Hadley Large is a scaled up version identical in everyway other than dimension. It has a fully removeable insert and features adjustable Quick Release straps into brass buckles, bellowed front pockets with press-stud fastenings and a darted main flap which covers the mouth of the bag when closed protecting it from rain and weather elements. The fully adjustable shoulder sling is sewn under a leather side patch, which provides the facility to attach our AVEA side pockets. The AVEA03 is the nicest looking fit as they are slimer and match the side profile of the Hadley Large However, the AVEA05's will also fit if you need extra room and are less concerned with aesthetics.

It's a rare thing to find a bag that can take a pro-sized body (or a body plus grip) fitted with a large tele-zoom, that itself isn't large and cumbersome. After much searching and testing, I finally settled on a Billingham Hadley Large. It's a soft, flexible canvas and leather shoulder bag that is built to high quality standards. It is very adaptable (in fact, most days I use it as a business case, carrying work papers, files and a 15" laptop), and it can cary a large amount of 'pro-sized' gear in a grab-and-shoot configuration. One of the nicest things about the bag is that the padded insert is not too rigid. This means that the bag (which is waterproofed canvas) can flex and mould to your body, and also it gets slimmer and even more discrete as you take items out of it. Thanks to Rustens for review
