If you’re looking for a durable and reliable bag that will protect your camera equipment, then a leather camera backpack is the way to go. Made from pure leather, they provide excellent protection against the elements, while the padded inserts ensure you can get your gear organized in no time.

You can find these bags in a variety of sizes and colors, so they’ll fit into the budgets of every photographer. Many of these bags come with internal foam or padding that further guards your gear against the elements, while some of them even have waterproof exteriors.

Top and bottom compartments are customizable to accommodate your gear, while the front pocket is ideal for personal items like a water bottle and small accessories. Some bags even include a built-in laptop sleeve.

It’s a stylish way to carry your gear, too. Leftover Studio’s 13-inch Camera Bag is a great choice for people who want to keep it simple and don’t need a lot of space, but still want a stylish backpack.

The Holdfast Roamographer offers a well-padded removable insert that’s 100% customizable thanks to velcro dividers. This means you can create the perfect setup for your gear, whether you’re a landscape or adventure photographer or just want a good travel backpack for everyday use.

This pack comes in two different size options, 21L and 31L, so you can customize your space to match your needs. A removable Articulating Ladder system lets you separate and expand the main compartment, while a dedicated interior laptop sleeve and a number of stowable pockets help you organize your other accessories.

Another great option for a traveling photographer is the Jo Totes Bellbrook, which offers a stylish look and comfortable design. The hand-crafted waxed canvas and high-quality leather trim make it easy to carry, while the padded shoulder straps are ultra-comfortable and offer plenty of support for long days on the road.

For a more serious pack, you might try CADeN’s 21L Camera Backpack, which fits a DSLR and a few lenses in its main compartment. The flexible padded separators let you pack in more equipment as needed, and there’s also a rolltop that opens to add an extra 5 L of space.

The Retrospective V2 35 is a well-rounded travel pack that features a wide range of storage options, including a spacious main compartment and a sleeve for a 15-inch laptop. There’s a separate quick-access front pocket for a phone or other device, and there are stowable tripod pouches on the outside as well.

It’s an ideal choice for photographers who are on the go and need a camera backpack that doesn’t skimp on style, as it’s available in a selection of neutral hues to blend with any outfit. The Retrospective V2 35 is also available in a waxed canvas and leather version to suit your tastes.

The F-Stop 28L is an excellent snowboarding camera backpack, designed by Jake Burton in collaboration with professional snowboarders. It’s a robust pack that has all the features you’d expect from a professional bag, such as silencing tabs and an ActiZone back panel for side access, strap pouches, and an array of PALS attachment points. The straps are comfortable and the 500-denier CORDURA nylon and tarpaulin construction is water-resistant, so it’s perfect for the outdoors.
