The SafariSackâ„¢ has been in production for over ten years. It has been duplicated by others, but as they say, “copying is the best form of flattery.â€
- We offer you a choice of fill. Polyethylene beads are the most stable, but heavier than the buckwheat hulls. For lenses up to 200mm, the buckwheat is adequate.
- The 4.2 features a side gusset, allowing a thicker volume of filler when in half saddlebag style.
- The ends are slightly rounded for easier handling.
- D-rings on the ends for carrying over the shoulder with a shoulder strap (# Y215 is adjustable, unpadded & 1" / 25 mm wide).
- With the sewn-in strap, it can be securely fastened to the rack on the top of a Land Rover which is common on safari...or your own mini-van or SUV! If you want a longer strap, get the # Y208.
- You can add water, sand or pebbles to use as a ballast to stabilize a tripod or light stand in the wind. We recommend the use of an optional liner for sand (R107) or choose the R425 SafariSack II for a simpler, less expensive ballast bag; use the R106 water bladder with it.
