The Vanguard VEO Active Birder 56 Backpack is a stylish, but rugged 47 litre trekking backpack that is designed for birdwatchers to carry their spotting scope to the most remote and rugged locations, or just to the park, in comfort.
The bag has an extended waterproof zip that allows the bag to almost fully open, giving you access to the backpack. If you just want top access, simply clip the strap on the left which prevents the bag being fully opened in error.
Inside the main 32 litre compartment 32 litre compartment is a 120 x 134mm padded tube that is designed to hold a spotting scope safe and secure to the back of the bag, with an elasticated loop to fit around the eyepiece. It also includes two inner pockets for a 16” laptop, (compartment is 310 x 35 x 370mm), and a 10" tablet. Above the laptop compartment is a zipped pocket for other essentials, like a smartphone or a VEO PA-65 Universal Digiscope Adaptor. The remaining space is available for any personal kit you need for your trek.
On the top of the backpack is separate 15 litre top compartment for items that you want to keep close to hand, and includes a mesh pocket and a key ring holder to help organise your kit.
To stay fresh on the go it includes a 390 x 180mm side pocket for a 2 litre hydration pouch. This pocket is designed to be waterproof to ensure that a leak can't get into your main compartment.
On the opposite side is an elasticated side pocket that can be used for a separate water bottle, or to hold a tripod.
Above this there is a USB port interface that allows you to carry the power bank of your choice in the main compartment, and connect it to your device to stay charged on the go. Perfect for powering your device, such as a smartphone as you use the GPS functionality to help with navigation or capture memories of your trip.
On the back is a discreet zip up rear pocket which is perfect for valuables such as a wallet or passport.
