Kata’s Torso Pack is uniquely designed to keep your D / SLR or Camcorder in quick-draw position, while TST protected. The T-214 fits up to a large D/SLR with lens attached. The unique design allows you to carry the bag up front or on your back, and change the position even while on the go. The lid is secured by a wide “hook & loop” fastener and a side release buckle, and one pull allows for a quick full opening of the parallel zipper set , this means that at all times you have frontal top access to your camera. The large main compartment is divided in a way that allows you to store your camera in top grip position while below the body you can store and protect additional lenses or accessories. Additional external pockets will hold your personal effects. The Kata T-214 enables frontal carrying and quick draw without weighing on your neck. The Torso Packs are the central element of KATA’s EPH System. They can be used on their own or attached to the W-92 Waist Pack as well as one of the backpacks.

When I first recieved this bag, my first thoughts were “wow, its big!”
But it fits everything I need!! Including my Beercan and Big beercan!
I measured before I bought it to make sure it would.
Build
I think I will have this bag for a very long time. It carries 7 lenses(without a flash). My 28-85 and my 50mm in the same slot(which saves room, also 2 50mm manuals in the same slot.)
it is built very well. Right when i received it I put water proofer on it. It does come with a cover that is water proof(it is proven to be water proof by me!!=) ) It has 5 slots for lenses,1 for you camera(or 4 for lenses and a flash). 2 zip up side pockets(one perfect of fitting the battery charger in.)(these pockets have metal zipper pulls that make noise when walking…I unzipped them a little when sneaking around so they dont make noise) a pockets on the side pockets of those pockets. I havent used them yet. One zip up pocket on the very front(I put my neck strap in there).
Another zip up pocket on the inside (the same size). On the front of that pocket there 3 mesh pockets that do good to hold my batteries and also the pc sync cord/card reader.
The very top large compartment (three slots)is where you put your most used lenses and you camera(this is where I keep my minolta 50mm, 28-85 and my beercan! Everyting you need i think!) This zips up and there is also a ummmm snap clip thingy? LOL.
The bottom large compartment also has 3 compartments. Good place for bigger lenses or a big flash!
The bag also has multiple metel loops on it for hanging things off of. I hang my nikon lens cleaning cloth on one(for my glasses).
Everything I need is VERY secure! I am VERY happy with this bag!! It does what it should!!
