Vanguard’s Alta Rise bag series, which debuted at Photokina, includes three messenger models, two backpack models and one sling bag model. The entire lineup offers what Vanguard calls a ‘+6 size expanding feature’ for increasing or decreasing a bag’s size as needed.
The lineup features the Alta Rise 28 Messenger ($ 109.99), Alta Rise 33 ($ 119.99), Alta Rise 38 ($ 129.99), Alta Rise 43 Sling ($ 99.99), Alta Rise 45 Backpack ($ 129.99), and the Alta Rise 48 Backpack ($ 159.99). The +6 expansion system extends the size of each bag by 6cm via unzipping a single zipper. All six bags can generally fit three to five lenses, a DSLR, and other items including a tablet or, depending on its size, a laptop.
Other universal features include a ‘quick action’ access point, protective padding, and a ‘total coverage rain cover.’ Some other non-universal features include an Air System for comfort in certain bags, accommodation for up to a 15-inch laptop, a discreet ‘Magic Pocket,’ and feet on the bottom to keep the bottom of the bag off the ground.
