This is the design generation that inner cushion layer was fixed to the outer layer shell, however, it can be modified with a new cushioned inner layer subclassis either from the original maker or from any Far East bag maker. It might be even readily available from eBay sellers. As I am in the downsizing mode, this item is being priced to go for a determined buyer who can find usefulness from this otherwise clean, very lightly used(by me) Billingham camera bag that I paid top dollars for it earlier.
