![]() See also Carry Less and Assembling a system. ![]() Gear expands to fill the space it's allotted, so be sure to use only the smallest bag that carries just what you will use. Know that whatever size bag you pick, you will always fill it as full of gear as you can. I wouldn't want to carry this thing loaded around my shoulder, but most people do. I find my Retrospective 10 ideal for leaving in a trunk and grabbing what I need out of it as a second reserve bag. Most people carry a lot more gear than I do. (I use my Retrospective 30 to swallow my basic Hasselblad system.) The Retrospective 20 and larger are too big for me to comprehend I have no idea why anyone would want to carry that much stuff all at once. The Retrospective 7 is a medium-sized bag if you want to carry a full set of pro gear around your shoulder. Personally, I prefer the smallest Retrospective 5 for daily carry, and the Retrospective 10 as an all-in-one gear holder to be left back with all my extra stuff I'm not using that day. It became such a hit that in 2013 it also came in small and normal (Retrospective 5 and Retrospective 7), and as well as huge and gigantic (Retrospective 40 and Retrospective 50), as well as in Blue Slate for all sizes.Īll the bags have the same design. When introduced in 2010, it came only in big, bigger and biggest (Retrospective 10, Retrospective 20 and Retrospective 30) and in my favorite Pinestone cotton or black nylon. The Retrospective Series come in many sizes. The cotton canvas of the Pinestone bag has a water-resistant coating for use in the rain, and if you're really crazy enough to be out in the weather, each bag also comes with an integral, stowable, removable seam-sealed nylon rain cover. Instead of the usual ballistic nylon cloth, the green ("Pinestone") Retrospective bag is made of real, live, soft cotton canvas! The black Retrospective is made of even softer nylon poly weave, not ballistic nylon. ![]() The Retrospective's classic cotton materials are so soft and comfortable that it's a pleasure to use. ![]() The Think Tank Retrospective bags are like getting a new old best friend. Bravo, Think Tank! I'm showing and writing about the original Retrospectives today in 2020 Think Tank is on the improved version 2.0. How tough are they? I wrote this article back in 2010, and today my bags all look, feel and work the same. Especially in the soft-but-tough "Pinestone" water-resistant canvas as shown here, it feels great as well as being the best-made shoulder bag I've used. My Think Tank Retrospective bags are my favorite shoulder bags. ![]()
