What happened to the Clik Elite Nature Pack?

To fully understand what makes the Clik Elite Venture pack so amazing, we need to look at its predecesor, the Clik Elite Nature pack. The nature was one of the first packs that Clik Elite created. It was very well received by the avid adventure photography community, garnered praise from everyone who reviewed the pack, and as a result it was very hard to keep in stock.

Backpacker Gear Guide rates the Nature “Best Photo Pack”

Carolyn Guild Says the Nature Pack is “The Most Comfortable Pack”

New York Times Reviews the Nature Pack and says “My Choice for Carrying a Lot of Gear a Long Ways”

You get the picture.

But with all the glowing reviews, the Nature was a first generation pack that set a new standard. Users of the Clik Elite Nature, although ecstatic with the packs performance, had some bits of feedback about the way that they used their packs. Clik Elite is always listening to our customers, and striving to provide the best most usable products. So our chief designer, Bryce Thatcher (Outdoor Industry Pack Design Pioneer) took this feedback to heart and resolved to make this already amazing pack even better. As he adjusted the Nature’s design based on the users request, he realized that some fundamental structural changes would be required to form all the changes into the perfect pack.

The Clik Elite Venture Pack is Born

So going back to the drawing board and re-imagining the Nature an entirely new pack was born. The new Venture included many changes from its predecesor, Lighter, Larger Photo Gear Capacity, Easier Access, Greater Versatility, Ergonomics, Comfort, Tipout Tripod Sleeve, etc…

As the changes were applied the Venture had been molded into existence  It was the Nature Pack 2.0, a more youthful sleeker look, with the wisdom of seasoned photographers experience. If a parents experiences could be directly passed on to their children, the result would be similar to the process by which Clik Elite Venture Pack came into being. So join the growing number of users who are upgrading their adventure photography experience to the Clik Elite Venture, and are truly discovering what it means to be an adventure photographer.

The sling worked great! I really liked how versatile and comfortable it was. I loaded it up too much on some days, but it didn’t complain. My set up is a Nikon D700 with 3 primes (35mm, 50mm, 85mm) or 2 primes and one zoom (35mm, 50mm and 28-200mm). Add in the hoods and a Benro carbon travel tripod (about 13 inches and around 1lb) and the camera portion was full. Add in a filter pouch, a LEE holder and shade, glasses, water, maps, cell phone, etc. and it was heavy (top compartment). I added a D-ring carabiner to the top thumb loop. It helped with carrying it one handed and made the sling easy to hang from my tripod for ballast. I would suggest this to everyone who owns it. It tucks away nicely too in the gap into the upper compartment.

No one knew it was a camera bag unless I had the tripod on the outside. Many people were surprised when I pulled out a D700. LOL

Thanks for a great product!
