Camera Base Layer 2.0
Finally. Camera protection that disappears into your pack.
Best For: Travel photographers who've shielded their camera under a t-shirt during a sudden downpour.
- Slip it into any backpack - 2 cm flat, fits next to your laptop
- Bombproof rain protection - IPX6 rated, withstands heavy spray from any direction
- One-handed open - Fidlock® magnetic buckle clicks shut by itself
- Clip it anywhere - anodized aluminum carabiner attaches to any strap or belt loop
- Built-in drybag - 50D seam-sealed liner with Hypalon™ rolltop, no separate dry bag needed
- Weighs almost nothing - 155 g (5.5 oz), lighter than your phone
- Free repairs forever - Matador fixes any damage, in warranty or out
*Designed for mirrorless cameras and compact DSLRs.
Picture this: You're hiking to a waterfall at 5 AM. The mist hits, then real rain. Your Sony A7 is buried in your daypack. With any camera bag, you'd stop and dig. With this? Pop the buckle. Shoot. Done.
It's a sleeve, not a bag. - Slides flat between your laptop and a notebook. Stays out of the way until you need it.
For real working travelers - Wedding photographers chasing light. Vloggers on multi-stop trips. Anyone who shoots on the move — and doesn't want a second backpack.
The old setup hurt - Bulky camera bag rides on top of your travel pack. Or worse: wrap the body in a packing cube and hope.
The new setup - One sealed sleeve. One clip. The camera stays dry, padded, and ready to grab.
