About this bag

The Kata 3 in 1 Sling Backpack, Medium is designed to fit a digital SLR camera with a mid-range zoom lens attached, 3-4 extra lenses and accessories. It uses TST RIB structural protection for the equipment. The pack has three carrying options in one; changing from sling to "X" position to backpack and back again. It is fast and easy by using the quick release buckles. The bottom main compartment of the pack holds equipment and uses the modular dividers to custom fit the bag. The large top compartment will hold personal gear or additional gear, and it has internal pockets and a MP3 player pouch. Two external zippered pockets allow quick access to accessories without opening the main compartments. In sling position, the bag easily swings around from back to front to achieve quick draw access to the main camera and extras lenses. In backpack position and "X" position, the equipment can be comfortably carried for long distances. The included chest belt and balancing hip strap help take the load of heavy equipment off the shoulders. The included rain cover folds neatly away into an integrated pocket and can be hung out to dry on the small buckle next to the handle, or tucked away for storage in one of the pockets. * Fits D-SLR Camera and Five Lens Kit * TST RIB Structural Protection * Main Compartment Holds Equipment * Top Compartment Holds Personal Gear * Two External Pockets * Internal Pockets and MP3 Player Pouch * Adjustable Shoulder Strap * Chest Belt * Balancing Hip Strap

This is the Kata 3n1-20 slingbag / backback, which is the mid sized bag in the range of 3n1 bags, the others being the smaller 3n1-10 and larger 3n1-30. The 3n1 bags are different from other slingbags in that it can also be used as a backpack plus it can also be used on either the left of right shoulders due to an ingenious system of swapping shoulder straps and hiding the other when not in use. I bought the 3n1-20 bag together with a Lowepro Slingshot 200 to help decide on which bag I preferred. Both bags were very similarly priced and also the size is the same. But I found the Kata better in almost every way.

What works

Design , good quality, materials , left or right handed shoulder options plus can be used as backpack. Holds plenty of gear.

Room for improvement

Difficult to gain access to top two dividers in main compartment.
