The Vanguard VEO Active Birder 56 Backpack is a stylish yet rugged 47-litre trekking backpack designed specifically for birdwatchers. With its robust construction and thoughtful features, this backpack is perfect for carrying your spotting scope and other gear to remote, rugged locations or simply for a day in the park.

Key Features:

• Weather-Resistant Design: Crafted from high-quality water-resistant materials with waterproof zips and includes an additional seam-sealed rain cover for extra protection.
• Spacious Compartments: The 32-litre main compartment offers front and top access, with a padded spotting scope holder, and a separate 15-litre top compartment for additional personal items.
• Laptop and Tablet Storage: Securely carry a 16" laptop (compartment size: 310 x 35 x 370mm) and a 10" tablet.
• Multiple Tripod Holders: Attach up to two tripods, one on the rear and one on the side, making it easy to transport your essential gear.
• USB Charging Port: Stay charged on the go with the built-in USB port, ideal for keeping your devices powered while trekking.
• Maximum Storage: Includes multiple pockets, pouches, and compartments, including a sealed 390 x 180mm waterproof pocket for up to a 2-litre hydration pouch.
• Tripod and Accessory Straps: Two rear straps allow you to securely carry a tripod, sleeping mat, or tent, ensuring even weight distribution over longer distances.

Ergonomics for Comfort:

Designed for long treks, this backpack features an ergonomically reinforced aluminium frame that follows the curve of the spine, stiffening the rear for improved support. The padded waist cushion, shoulder cushions, and adjustable chest strap, combined with a wide airflow system, ensure maximum comfort on extended trips. The padded waist belt helps distribute weight evenly and can be removed or secured when not in use.

Interior Layout:

The main 32-litre compartment is designed to hold your spotting scope securely in a 120 x 134mm padded tube, with an elasticated loop to secure the eyepiece. It also includes two inner pockets for a 16” laptop and a 10” tablet, plus a zipped pocket for smaller essentials like a smartphone or digiscope adaptor. The top 15-litre compartment offers additional space for items you need quick access to, with a mesh pocket and keyring holder for organisation.

Extra Storage and Features:

• Hydration Pocket: The waterproof side pocket is perfect for a 2-litre hydration pouch, keeping your water supply separate from your other gear.
• Expandable Side Pocket: An elasticated side pocket can hold an extra water bottle or another tripod.
• Rear Valuables Pocket: A discreet, zippered rear pocket provides secure storage for valuables like your wallet or passport.
• Detachable Accessories: The backpack includes a removable bottle holder and accessory pouch to help keep your gear organised.

Built to Last:

Constructed from tough 840D Cordura nylon, the VEO Active Birder 56 is highly resistant to tears and weather conditions. Reinforced with herringbone stitching and waterproof zips, this backpack is ready for the wilds. For added protection in heavy rain, it includes a seam-sealed rain cover.

Perfect for Birdwatching:

This backpack is designed for birdwatchers, with dedicated compartments for spotting scopes and tripods, but it is not suitable for carrying cameras. If you need camera storage, consider adding a VEO BIB (Bag-In-Bag) for additional protection.

Conclusion:

Whether you’re heading into the wild or just exploring a local park, the Vanguard VEO Active Birder 56 is the perfect backpack for birdwatchers. Its rugged construction, thoughtful design, and ample storage make it a must-have for transporting your spotting scope and gear over long distances.
