The ‘Mini
Eventer’ was created following feedback from customers that whilst many loved
the look and functionality of the existing ‘Eventer’, they found it was simply
too big for their needs. Sized between two of our best-selling bags, the ‘Hadley
Small Pro’ and ‘Hadley Pro 2020’, the Mini Eventer is designed to meet the
needs of those who want the ultimate style and protection for their gear in a
more portable size.
Like the
existing Eventer, its styling is dominated by its base that covers the lower
third of the bag in the same top-grain leather that we use to make all of our
bags. Carefully selected and worked to the desired shape, these large pieces of
leather give the bag structure and also help to form the two deep front dump
pockets.
The bag also
features a 2” wide shoulder sling, to match its older sibling, made from
shuttle woven polyester. This sling is adjustable in length and includes a
padded leather SP50 Shoulder Pad for added comfort when carrying on your
shoulder.
When
designing the ‘Mini Eventer’ we took the opportunity to add some popular
features. These features include a luggage trolley retainer strap - useful when
travelling through airports etc., an improved top handle with leather
underneath and weatherproof zips on the rear pocket and dual-zipped main
compartment.
The main
compartment is also protected by the main flap, made of our 3-layer waterproof
materials. Both our 3-layer Canvas and 3-layer FibreNyte materials have a layer
of butyl rubber in the middle that prevents the fabric from ever needing to be
reproofed. Together, the fabric and zips make this bag exceptionally
weatherproof.
This
aforementioned main flap is opened with our ‘Quick Release System’, simply
slide the top of the leather straps off the brass ‘Clogballs’ to gain access.
As the leather softens and with practice, you should soon be able to open the
bag one-handed. The buckles aren’t needed to gain access to the bag, they need
be used only to occasionally fine-tune the tension between the main flap and
front pockets (depending on what you are carrying in those pockets).
The ‘Mini
Eventer’ has a specially designed padded insert. Inside you can safely store
and protect a small-to-medium sized DSLR such as the Canon 5D MkIV (without a
battery grip), a mirrorless camera such as Fujifilm X-T4, Sony a9ii, Canon R5,
Nikon Z-7ii or rangefinder camera such as the Leica M10 - each with 2-3
small-to-medium sized lenses. In the back of the removable insert is a padded
area for an 11inch iPad (or similar smaller device). Alternatively, remove the
insert to turn the bag into a casual bag within seconds.
All
Billingham bags are made at our factory in England and are covered by our 5
year manufacturers guarantee.
