The Hadley Large is based on the original Hadley -
just a little taller and slightly wider. It lacks rear zip pocket or the handle
of the Hadley Pro but its extra height provides that bit of extra
space for lenses or documents whilst still staying very slim and close to the
body. For example you can store a Canon 5D facing lens down or lens up with a
70-200mm lens so long as you don't attach a battery grip to the camera - you'll
still have room to the side for 2 or 3 more lenses.
Like all Billingham bags it is made from three layer fabric
- a canvas or Fibrenyte front, a butyl rubber lining that is impermeable to
water and a final layer of fabric on the inside to add strength and improve
drape and durability. Like all Billingham products, the Hadley Large
isn't just beautifully made, it is designed to protect your equipment
and keep on doing it for years.
Along with the other Hadleys it features the Quick Release
System to which we have added solid brass buckles . Why both? Simple,
the QRS allows you to open and close the bag quickly and securely and
the buckles allow you to fine tune the ‘fit’ of the front pockets . For
instance, if you have really packed in some bulky gear into one front
pocket, you can just let out that side’s buckle to suit.
Also like the other Hadleys (except the Hadley Digital which
has a single central fastener) the Hadley Large has a secondary stud
fitted to both front pockets’ top outer corner which can be used to
increase or reduce its capacity when closed it forms a perfect
place to clip pens, pencils, etc.
Like every Hadley (apart from the Digital) the Large
features a removable padded bucket insert with adjustable partitions and
an integral flap, held in position with Velcro® touch fastener strips. If
you want to stack your kit, you can use more dividers. The whole
insert can be detached by a single press stud, to transform
the Hadley Large from a camera bag into an understated, stylish travel or
work bag.
Finally like all Billingham camera bags it is made in
England and comes with our 5 year manufacturers guarantee.
