Versatility and comfort with Chrome’s Niko Camera Backpack 3.0

The Niko Camera Backpack 3.0 is the latest photography bag from Chrome Industries. With over 25 years of creating bags for photographers, Chrome has put that experience into play with this release. Made for any photographer on the go, the backpack is comfortable, unassuming and functional no matter the genre you shoot.

With a ton of pockets, a customizable main compartment and a full 25L of storage room, the Niko Camera Backpack 3.0 efficiently carries a ton of gear while still staying compact and comfortable. The coated zippers, padded tricot lining and durable nylon material make this bag rugged and ready for adventure. To top it off, the signature Chrome buckle on the chest strap adds a subtle bit of swagger to the otherwise low-profile design.
