For the holiday season, we wanted to feature products that creatives can use in their day to day lives. There’s so many brands out there, it can be hard to navigate. We went ahead and did the research for you, and are super stoked to tell you about Wandrd products.

Wandrd is a company made by creatives who love to travel and see the world, but at the same time make it possible to create content as comfortably and ergonomically as possible. Their mission is to create products that inspire people to create, play and live passionate lives in the moment.  

Their designs are very unique and high quality, helping creatives carry, protect and provide comfort to their carriers.

In this article we are highlighting their PRVKE backpacks and the first look of their new and improved Camera Cubes 2.0! We were very excited to receive the new products from Morgan and the team, and after using it and putting it on a road test, I would definitely say that this is our favorite camera bag for travel.

I travel a lot for work, and I hate commuting with tons of bags just to fit my camera gear. I was pretty shocked how much equipment I was able to fit in the PVRKE with the use of their Camera Cubes. For this trip, I was able to pack a 15” MacBook Pro, one camera body, drone, three drone batteries, a small stabilizer, 2 prime lenses, 1 zoom lens, tripod, clothes and many more. Yes, it fit that much equipment. I myself had to unpack and repack everything to double check if I was missing anything.

The PRVKE has two access points which gives you entry to all the main compartments. This allows you to grab your camera/drone/lens with ease. The design for PRVKE is ergonomically made for travelers, photographers, creatives, commuters and anyone that is on the go. 

The material they use to make this product is very durable. It is made out of ballistic nylon and water resistant tarpaulin. No need to stress when working or traveling in wet conditions! Expandable roll top gives quick access to items or small gear which can also be expanded to create an extra 5 liters of space. The top handle is also a magnetic tote to secure the roll and make it easier for handling the bag in any situation. It also has a compartment where you can store a water bottle or a travel sized tripod. On the bottom of the bag, there is a dedicated storage where you store rainfly, which is an accessory that makes your bag rain proof. 

I’ve read reviews and have talked to multiple creatives about the PRVKE backpacks. The only other comment for a lot of them is the weight of the bag, but in my opinion, the weight of the PRVKE is just right for the purpose that it gives. The PRVKE bag features give it the most minimal weight difference compared to other brands, but also secures your equipment that ranges from $2000-$5000 safely. I myself have tried multiple camera/lifestyle bags over the past 7 years, and I’ve never had a camera bag fit that much gear, and at the same time protect and secure my equipment with peace of mind. 

WANDRD released the new Camera Cubes which now come in 2 size sets to fit both PRVKE 21 L and 31L

(Pro Camera Cube +, Essential Camera Cube + and Mini Camera Cube +)

The Pro Cube + is designed to utilize the space the PRVKE bag provides. You can fit one 70-200 lens, a drone and 2 camera bodies with these cubes.

The Essential + Cubes are designed to fit and utilize the bottom space of the PRVKE bag and also the HEXAD duffel bag. I travel pretty light and so do a lot of the creatives in the community. I recommend these Essential Cubes because you’re able to bring one camera body, a 70-200 lens, a Mavic Pro 2 drone and two of your lenses if set up correctly.

Lastly, the Mini Plus Camera Cubes. I like this cube because it fits the top portion of their PRVKE bag. With the last setup on the essential cubes, you can store your drone controller and two 1 prime lens and another zoom lens.

If you’re looking for new gear to travel with, or for a gift idea for someone creative in your life, we highly recommend checking Wandrd out. Their bags are not only stylish and high quality, these bags are a great investment for the longevity of your equipment. After traveling with them over the last month, I can’t imagine going anywhere without them. 

Much love to Morgan and the Wandrd team
