Think Tank Photo has announced its Urban Access Backpack featuring a "stylish, modern design" appropriate to today's urban environment married to a well thought-out design that keeps your gear both protected and accessible.

"The Urban Access Backpack delivers unprecedented gear access in a stylish, modern design," said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank CEO and lead designer. "The combination of dual-side and back-panel access means that your gear is readily accessible when you see your shot."
