The shoulder strap system uses premium quality materials with heavy-duty hardware, whilst the padded back panel and reinforced bottom panel with protective feet demonstrate attention to long-term durability. Every component, from the nylon fabric to the zippers to the plastic feet, has been selected for its ability to withstand professional use, meaning your backpack will provide reliable service for years of RC sessions.
