Firstly the bag is constructed from Chicken Tex Nylon an extremely hard wearing material that enables crumpler to give a 30 year guarantee. Under the Chicken Tex is waterproof ripstop lining and inside is padded soft Nylex lining. These 3 materials are pretty much standard throughout the Crumpler range.
The bag is closed by a flap that covers the top of the bag and is clipped in place at the front with a quick release clip, this flap isn’t padded but isn’t an issue as the rest of the bag is well protected. The flap has integrated foldable sides that ensure no water can get into this waterproof bag. The quick release clip is adjustable so the flap can be fastened tight if required. On the underside of the flap is a flat zipped air mesh accessory pocket.
