MindShift Gear releases Moose Peterson Backpacks

Our friends at MindShift Gear just announced an exciting new collaboration with renowned outdoor photographer Moose Peterson.  Working with MindShift’s award-winning designers, Moose’s three classic backpacks have been upgraded and rereleased.  The original “Moose Ears” design with auto-close compartment flaps protects the interior from dust, spray, and wind.  The three compartment system allows you to keep lenses attached, providing the quickest way to access gear.  The tuck-away harness system with removable waistbelt easily allows you to streamline your bag when loading it in a train, plane or automobile (MP-1 & MP-3 only).  They are sized for carry-on, allowing you to get the maximum amount of gear on the plane. The prices range from $199.00 to $349.00.

As always, MindShift offers free shipping on all orders. We’ll stick with our new fav, the Thule Covert, but the Moose Peterson looks good.
