    Well-known bag maker Chrome has put out a new camera bag, called (for whatever reason) the Niko. It’s a slightly strange creature, somewhere between a shoulder bag and a backpack, but it looks pretty solid.

    The top section is your plain cargo compartment, for wipe cloths, snacks, and so on. Down below, you have a customizable compartment with a few organization pads that stick to one another with velcro. Looks like it might be a little packed in there if you like to keep the lens on your camera, but hey.

    It has waterproof truck tarp throughout an the nylon exterior is itself graded as weather-proof, so you can leave the umbrella at home. Costs $95, which seems pretty reasonable to me.
