Perfect for my Billingham Hadley Pro bag. The AVEA 5 doesn't fit very well for me. AVEA 3 is smaller and more compact. I used to put 2 of them on my bag. Billingham's quality and finishing is amazing!
If you've got a Billingham shoulder bag such as a Hadley Pro or Hadley Large, or one of the 7 series, you'll no doubt have noticed that sliplock-type side or end pouches made by Lowepro and Tamrac can't be attached. The reason is that Billingham decided to use a narrowly sewn double-loop side attachment. The Avea 3 is the smallest Billingham side pouch and it's specifically designed to securely attach to the ends of all Billingham bags which feature the double-loop attachment. I use the Avea 3 to hold several items I want to get at quickly under any circumstances: a 3GB iPod, earbuds, Lenspen and a writing pen. Because the Avea 3 has a fixed divider in its main compartment, earbuds can be kept coiled and away from the other items. The Avea 3 has an inner, integrated liner with a drawstring top that can be cinched tight using the attached cord and sliding lock. Combined with the full top flap, weather including wind borne dust, splashes and even driving rain are kept out of the pouch. As usual, Billingham's signature fabric remains tough, abrasion resistant and good looking no matter what sort of treatment it receives. During the first month of daily use attached to my Billingham Hadley Pro, the Avea 3 gradually broke in to the point where it began to conform to the left end of the Hadley. The leather strip to which the snap closure is affixed also softened enough to be easily worked. After two months of daily use, I'm not looking anywhere else for a replacement pouch. The Avea 3 is an excellent match for the Hadley series of bags. It's nicely sized and also looks balanced on all the medium size Billingham shoulder bags with which its compatible. If you need just a bit of extra room and fast access to frequently used items while you're exploring the world with your camera and a Billingham bag, the Avea 3 should do the trick. Highly recommended.
