The Aero 80 is a sleek and lightweight backpack designed for the SLR photographer with a digital SLR (such as Canon's EOS 1D Series or Nikon's D Series) with a grip and a 4" lens attached, a couple additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a 17" screen laptop. The completely foam-padded lower compartment protects photo equipment, while the large top compartment holds a light jacket, lunch or other necessary personal items. Inside the top, three mesh pockets keep AC adaptors and laptop cords organized.

A separate, completely foam-padded compartment with a water-resistant zipper provides quick access to most 17" screen laptops (such as Apple's 17" MacBook Pro) without disturbing photo gear. Double zipper pulls allow quick access to photo gear while a weather flap provides weather protection. Inside the main compartment, foam pillars support the camera with lens attached, ready for action, while adjustable, foam-padded dividers protect other equipment. Two zippered pockets inside the main compartment organize filters, memory cards, and other accessories. A front mesh pocket and two mesh side pockets provide quick access to accessories and water bottles.

The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness is contoured to distribute the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders. The harness also features Tamrac's Strap Accessory System(tm) attachment points for customizing this pack with optional Tamrac S.A.S.(tm) products. Two lash tabs on the bottom allow a tripod to be carried (requires accessory straps, Model S-113, sold separately).
