MindShift Gear’s “Exposure” Shoulder Bags Offer the Ultimate in Durability and Weather Protection for Outdoor Photographers

SANTA ROSA, CALIF – There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad gear. MindShift Gear’s new Exposure shoulder bags are storm-resistant carrying solutions for the active photographer in virtually any outdoor environment. Built with high performance waterproof sailcloth panels, strategically placed storm flaps, water-repellent DWR fabric, and a sturdy Tarpaulin bottom; the Exposure protects camera gear from the elements and withstands the rigors of adventure photography. And, with its cross-body stabilizer strap, the Exposure moves with you while you’re active or is removable for more causal environments.  A waterproof rain cover is included when it’s time to put the camera away and hunker down.

Exposure shoulder bags come in two models, the Exposure 13 and the Exposure 15, and in two colors, Black and Solar Flare.  The Exposure 13 fits a 13” laptop; the Exposure 15 fits 15” laptops.  A 10” tablet fits in zippered pocket.

“We believe it is time for outdoor photographers to have the optimal level of weather protection and durability in a shoulder bag,” said Doug Murdoch, MindShift Gear’s CEO and lead designer.  “The X-Pac™ technology we employed is a four-layer laminated waterproof sailcloth material.  It is abrasion resistant and the C6DWR coating meets current environmental concerns and regulations.  Many of the large outdoor companies are using this level of DWR coating now.”
