The Bottom Line

Aside from Miriam's rain-soaked misadventure, we're both very impressed with the design, build, and layout of this subtle, stylish camera bag. As with other Think Tank bags, you'd be wise to spend more than a passing moment studying the information about the Urban Disguise 50 available on their Website, because this bag manages to pack a ton of obvious and subtle storage options into a surprisingly small space.

If the UD50 sounds too big, or too small, for your specific gear-hauling needs, there's enough capacity range in the Urban Disguise lineup to make even Goldilocks satisfied.

About our Product Shots: If you look closely at our product shots gallery, you may notice a bit of scuffing, some airport grime, or other subtle indications that would make these shots less than catalogue-perfect. Why's this? Simple: We test bags.

We really test bags, the way that photographers will actually use them. We load them up with gear and take them traveling through airports and while commuting via mass transit to and from PopPhoto headquarters. We log miles and hours in transit with the bags we test. We overstuff them -- just as almost every working photographer will, to see if the zippers strain or fail. We hike the urban wilderness of Manhattan and wherever our travels take us to get a feel for how a bag feels not after five minutes, but after two hours on the shoulders, so when you see a scuff or dirt spot on the product sample shots it's your proof that we've put a camera bag through its paces.
