• Made of a 3-layer waterproof material
• Real, full-grain, vegetable tanned leather
• Solid brass fixings
• Individual serial number
• 5-year manufacturers guarantee
• Made in England

A versatile, discreet camera bag with a dedicated 14inch laptop slip. Includes a half-width removable, padded insert for CSC kit or mid-sized DSLR, leaving half of the bag free for non-camera gear. Full width insert for larger gear is an optional extra. Made in England with 3-layer waterproof fabric and real leather.

Padded Inset Layout Options

The bag comes with one 'Half Size Padded Insert' included, allowing you to use the other half of the bag for sandwiches, non-camera equipment or gear that doesn't need as much protection.​ ​
Not enough? You can purchase an optional second 'Half Size' insert or an optional 'Full Size' insert.
The rear, left side, right side and bottom of the bag have mild padding sewn in, therefore you can use the bag without padded inserts as a normal messenger bag. ​

Included Half Size Insert

The included Half Size Insert will allow you to carry a small-to-medium camera with lens attached (and maybe another spare lens stacked underneath).​ ​It can be fixed in on the left, right or centre of the bag.​
​1x horizontal flap divider is included and can be attached anywhere inside the insert with Velcro.​ ​

Dedicated Padded Laptop Slip

Sewn into the back of the bag is a dedicated padded laptop slip designed to fit a 14" MacBook Pro or similar size device.

Please be aware:

• The padded laptop slip remains in the bag even if the padded camera insert is removed, a good thing if you don't always carry cameras.
• Older or larger 14" devices may not fit, however almost all modern devices such as the 14" MacBook Pro (2021), 13.5" Surface Laptop 3, 13.5" Surface Laptop 4, ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 (14") etc will fit. Basically, if the laptop has thin bezels it will fit well. A device with large bezels might rise slightly above the padded area or might not fit at all. 
• The 13" MacBook Pro, 13" MacBook Air and 13.6" MacBook Air of course fit great.
• Almost all other 13" devices fit too.

Front Dump Pockets

Front dump pockets are perfect for cables, film, spare batteries and those little bits and bobs you want to keep separate. ​ ​An additional loop in the fabric on the side of the front pockets are a deliberate design feature to allow clip on pens.

Rear Zipped Pockets

The back pocket has a weatherproof zip which is covered by a slim piece of leather, helping to protect important documents from rain or snow.​ The luggage trolley retainer strap is just below the opening to the back pocket.

Luggage Trolley Strap

Attach your camera bag safely to your suitcase when travelling through a busy airport or city. ​

QRS Front Straps and Sculpted Top Flap

The top-grain leather front straps have the 'Quick Release System' feature. Just slide the top of the strap up-and-off the brass clogball for instant access.​ ​The buckles allow you to fine tune the 'fit' of the front pockets. You don't need to use the buckles to open the bag.​
The sculpted top flap helps prevent rain, snow or unwanted fingers getting into the main compartment. It is made of the same 3-layer waterproof fabric as the rest of the bag.

Removable Shoulder Sling

The Hadley One features a shoulder sling that can be adjusted longer or shorter to suit your height and shooting style.​ ​It can also be completely and easily removed in seconds if you would prefer to carry the bag using only its top handle. ​It is made from shuttle woven polyester and leather with solid brass fixings.

Top Handle With Leather

An easy carry top handle with leather on the underside allows you to pick up and carry the bag with comfort, without using the shoulder sling. ​​The handle is reinforced with fibreglass to reduce stress on the bag as you lift it.​

Ability To Add EVEA End Pockets

The strong leather side panels allow you to attach AVEA 7 End Pockets or AVEA 8 End Pockets for additional storage. ​Shown here with AVEA 8 End Pockets.

Hadley Pro 2020 VS Hadley One

• The Hadley One is slightly larger in all dimensions.
• The Hadley One has a wider shoulder sling (50mm wide (2") vs 38mm wide (1½")).
• There is a dedicated, padded 14 inch laptop slip in the Hadley One. The Hadley Pro 2020 doesn't have this so any laptop or tablet would have to be placed behind the padded insert and only be protected on one side.
• The Hadley One comes with a Half Insert whereas the Hadley Pro 2020 comes with an insert that fills the main compartment. An optional full size insert can be purchased for the Hadley One.  
• Both bags have removable shoulder slings, rainproof zippers on the back and the newer design top-handle with leather underneath.

What Does It Fit?

• Almost any 13" laptop (MacBook Pro, MacBook Air etc) plus some particularly small and slim 14" and 15" models in it's padded laptop compartment (check dimensions very carefully). The 14" MacBook Pro does fit.
• In the included half size insert: Most DSLRs (e.g. Canon 5D, Nikon D850 without battery grip) with small-to-medium lens attached and maybe a spare lens.
• In the included half size insert: Almost any mirrorless camera (Sony A7IV, Fujifilm X-T4, Nikon Z7, Canon R6 without battery grip etc) with with small-to-medium lens attached and maybe a spare lens.
• In the included half size insert: Any rangefinder camera (e.g. Leica M10) with almost any lens attached. With room left for an extra lens or maybe a second camera.
