Like the Prvke 31 that I reviewed back in 2019 and its replacement, the all-new Prvke 31, the Prvke Lite is made from waterproof tarpaulin and Robic 1680D ballistic nylon.
It has a top section with a roll-top closing that scrunches down and fastens with a strap that has a large metal hook, and a bottom section that’s specifically designed for carrying camera gear. This bottom section can open like a clamshell from the rear but there’s also a side entrance that’s roughly half the height of the backpack. This is useful for grabbing your camera or an alternative lens without putting the Prvke Lite down.
On the opposite side from the side opening, there’s a deep pocket that can be expanded by opening a zip. This is perfect for carrying a drinks bottle, but it can also be used to carry a tripod. In addition, there are six short loops of webbing around the front of the bag that can be used to carry accessories, including a tripod, but no straps are supplied with the standard kit.
The back of the backpack houses a laptop sleeve that can accommodate a 16-inch laptop. It also has three zip-close pockets that are useful for holding things like memory cards, spare batteries and business cards.
When the main zip is open to access the camera storage area, it’s also possible to access the top roll-close section via a zippered opening.
At the top of the bag, close the top of the shoulder straps and the main compartment zip, there’s a small fleece-lined pocket that’s ideal for carrying sunglasses or loose change – although ideally not both together!
There’s another pocket on the front of the Prvke Lite. This is large but shallow and is accessed via a long zip, it’s useful for things like documents, tickets and a lens cloth or your lens caps.
In addition to the shoulder straps, the Prvke Lite has two ‘tote’ handles at its top. These have magnets to help keep them together.
