The ‘Hadley Pro 2020’ is an upgraded version of the classic ‘Hadley Pro’ (which is still in production) – Billingham’s best-selling camera bag ever. As such it features several notable improvements over its predecessor.

To start, the top handle on the ‘Hadley Pro’ features fiberglass reinforcement to minimise stress on the bag as you lift it. On the ‘Hadley Pro 2020’ we have kept this and added leather to underside of the handle to make carrying the bag more comfortable. We have also upgraded the shoulder sling – made from rugged shuttle woven spun polyester – to be fully removable. The sling can be used ‘on the shoulder’ or across the body for security, and its length can be adjusted to fit.

On the back of the bag we have added a much requested feature – a luggage trolley retainer strap to aid while traveling. Additionally the zipped pocket on the reverse of the bag now features an upgraded weather-proof zipper compared to the Hadley Pro – making it even better for storing passports, travel documents and maps.

As well as these upgrades, Hadley Pro 2020 retains all the qualities that made the ‘Hadley Pro’ a classic. Adaptable to each photographer’s needs, the Hadley Pro 2020 comes with a removable padded insert (with a padded lid) made from fabric-covered foam that protects the contents within on all six sides. By removing this insert, the Hadley Pro 2020 can be transformed into a casual messenger bag in seconds. The padded insert is exactly the same size as the one in the existing Hadley Pro.

Inside the padded insert, we have supplied four removable, repositionable foam dividers to keep equipment and accessories fully organised – these comprise two vertical dividers and two small hinged dividers, perfect for stacking lenses.
