The Ponting bag is a sturdy, waterproof camera bag, ideal for expedition landings and for travel in wet and harsh conditions.

We designed the bag as an envelope pack for the Bertik II, Bertik IV, Boris IV rucksacks, but it will surely fit other bags from other brands. It has a waterproof roll-up closure, two padded grips and a simple carrying system.

This spacious 50-litre waterproof bag is designed for an Antarctic expedition, on which the gear had to be brought to land with a Zodiac RIB – a challenge if you want to keep the camera gear dry. It’s a more comfortable and secure solution than a specialised waterproof backpack. Now available for all travellers!
