Product Description
KATA's Torso Pack is uniquely designed to keep your D/SLR or camcorder in quick-draw position, while TST protected. 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. 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 and 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.

 I like the concept but......... April 4, 2007

WHAT'S HOT: practical for quick shooting and carry, smaal enough not to be intrusive on your activities and it sure beats the heck out of a waist pack. very sturdy construction,and large enough straps for the big guys
WHAT'S NOT:Noble idea in the part of Kata bags but the interior of the sling & the secondary strap leave alot to be desired. there is room in the sling for a camera with a lens attached perhaps a 18-70mm or even longer lens but it doesn't fit like it would on a backpack it has to go in sort of cockeyed (slightly twisted) then there are two other side compartments next to where your camera would go but they are very snug for my additional lense and flash unit.
then there are two additional pockets one on side wich is also snug,and the one in the front of the sling wich to me is practically useless, because again you cannot put anything in it without it bulging out.
that being said this sling is probably the optimal choice for folks with a DSLR body and two lenses that donnot have any other need for additional equipment.
hope this helps you make a decision, happy shopping!!

It should have been simpler. There are so many ribbons, hooks etc, which are needed only if you want to connect the bag to other KATA products, that just wearing it becomes really complicated. The shoulder strap consists of 3. Why? Beats me. In other words - good idea poorly implemented.
 Great bag :) February 19, 2007

I can carry my Rebel XTi with a 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens attached, and still have two extra sections inside the bag. The outside pouches are very handy for cards, pens, and extra stuff.
best bag ever! December 13, 2007

This is by far the best camera bag i have ever had! its small enough to take out to clubs or urban exoloring, yet big enough for my camera, 2 lens, a 580exII, a wireless transmitter and all my small gear like cleaning rags and such.
It functions like a sling bag, so acessing your camera takes seconds, but has a second strap that tightly secures the bag to your body[think of an upside down Y shape]. the double zipper is held together by a break apat connector, so it cant get caught on things.
to shoot, you sling the bag to the front and open the double zippers with the break away strap. by now youre already at your camera. if you're like me, it takes a little practice and coordinating because i have to take the wireless transmitter out, put it on the camera, and then take out the flash and reclose the bag. it does fit in the bag with the transmitter still on the camera, but if you're paranoid with your geat like i am, its a little to tight for comfort, especially as im normally jumping around when the camera is stowed in the bag.
nothing is perfect. the cell phone pocket is too small for the iPhone, but it fits nicely in the outter pocket with my keys and wallet. since the inner pocket rests against your back, i wouldnt recomend anything besides a few business cards or flyers. ocassionally, when you open the compartment by the breakaway strap, it comes apart [it snaps right back together], so you cant just grip it and rip it, but all and all its the most amazing bag ever. Its stylish in that tactical way, and feels like its been molded to your body when you wear it.

i have to say that i dont really support military companies especiallly those engaged in questionable wars. however the product that this company has put out has really forced me to buy israeili...
and what a bag it is. from the future with the ideal young fit traveller in mind. the bag makes so much sense and it makes everything a snap. carrying vast amounts of gear with miscl. items. i travel all over the world with this bag straped to my chest and its like having ur baby with u which is my camera. hehehe. this bag has been with me for over a year now and has served me well... hopefully for many more years to come. invest in a good bag and u will reap later.
got to say that i never feared for my camera ever ,, rock solid and great ergonomics...
and the design is straight form star wars.
futuristic and not for everyone. amen
