Clik Elite Escape Backpack (Clik Gray)
- No Longer Available
The Clik Elite Escape Backpack (Clik Gray) is designed as a balanced approach to flexible organization, mobile comfort, and high-performance. The wide-open main compartment accommodates a mix of digital camera gear and outdoor essentials. The case is made from 1680 denier ballistic nylon with 420 denier high-tenacity nylon trim and has a fully lined interior. The pack has modular organization with Cradle Lens dividers, full-length vertical dividers and a Camera Nest insert for convenience and protection. There is a rapid-access camera bay that opens fast to reveal all contents or partially for camera-only access and a hydration compartment that fits a 3.0 liter (100 oz) bladder that is essential for active endeavors.
The Escape has a top pocket that organizes quick-access items, an outer front pocket that accommodates light clothing and food for long hauls into the back-country, a media organizer under the top lid for memory cards, batteries etc. There is also a removable accessory pouch that keeps cords and random items organized; the mesh sides allow a quick view of the contents and mesh side pockets for water or other items. It has a removable, hide-away rain fly cover, tuck-away tripod attachments on both sides, attachment points on the shoulder straps and waist belt that holds small pouches and lens holsters. The pack has built-in ChestPorts that hold ChestPacks for fast camera access on the go.
The Escape is carried by shaped shoulder straps that cushion against heavy photo gear, an adjustable sternum strap, padded contour waist belt with bi-directional buckle that comfortably transfers weight to the hips, a front compression strap with accessory loops and a comfort-molded back panel that resists snow and dirt, and vents heat and moisture.

Comments about Clik Elite Escape Backpack (Clik Gray):
I do love this pack---it has enough room for all the gear I can carry, and the outside and top pockets are very convenient and well organized. But what I love best is that you can open the top and get out your camera without opening the whole pack to reveal to the world all the expensive lenses you happen to have with you. This also comes in handy if it is raining. And, as others have said, it looks like a normal backpack and does not attract attention.
My only complaints are that if you have a long lens on your camera with a tripod collar it is a little small, and the tripod collar tends to catch on the compartment opening. It will fit, but with a little squishing.
And, um, MESH pockets to tuck a tripod into? Not sure how long they will last. There are built in straps higher up to secure the top of the tripod, but I would have preferred a more heavy duty pocket for the legs.
Otherwise I like this pack very much---easy to use, fits well, and convenient.

Comments about Clik Elite Escape Backpack (Clik Gray):
Excellent size, shape, construction. I use it almost exclusively when traveling by public transport (air, boat, cab, train), and not for personal auto or field transport, although I expect it would be very good for the latter as well. Most important quality to me is that it holds a pro camera (Nikon D3s) and long lens (Nikon VR 200-400), while still fitting within airline carry-on specs. Also, I am tall (6'-2") and it fits me very well. Many bags with similar volume are shorter, wider and deeper, and are not comfortable to wear.

Comments about Clik Elite Escape Backpack (Clik Gray):
My search for the perfect(sort of)camera backpack for short or 4-6 hours day hike is over. This is definitely the one and the right size I've been looking for and its sleek styling/color is an added bonus. Build is excellent. It carries my SonyA550 with battery grip and Tokina 11-16 lens mounted (hood attached),Sony Flash (HVL58), Sony 24-70, Sony 70-400 & possibly squeeze in my Sony 70-200 if needed. Weight when "loaded" is a bit heavy but manageable. The feature I love most in this pack is the hydration bladder compartment. I use the 70oz bladder which is the right size(for me) instead of the 100oz. I can now utilize the side mesh pockets for the tripod and other stuff instead of water bottles. The front & top pocket can accommodate the other accessories/clothing/food I want to bring on my hike. Overall, I'm impressed with this backpack and happy that I bought it. It's expensive but worth it. Shhhhh...(this is a secret)...it doesn't look like a camera backpack. It's a secret,ok.

Comments about Clik Elite Escape Backpack (Clik Gray):
As most of us over the years I've collected a number of photo bags / backpacks enough to equip a small army. Clik Elite Escape is the first one that actually fit the bill, well organizes, super nice top load camera basket, and on top of that the pack does not scream " I am a photo gear pack" and it is comfortable enough to tale it in the wild.
