QJ Review: Kata T-212 Torso Bag

Posted Apr 18, 2006 at 9:13AM EST by QJ Staff

About a month ago I mentioned that I had found some pretty cool new camera bags from a company called Kata.  Well since then I purchased the T-212 torso bag and have had a chance to use it a bit. 


I grabbed the bag from Amazon for around $65 before shipping.  When I got it, it was larger than I expected, though that's a good thing considering I plan to use it for my dSLR and a couple lenses.  The bag's harness fits comfortably, and connects at your left shoulder, left waistline, and right waistline.  The adjustments are easy and make for a customized fit.  I prefer it a bit loose, so it hangs down a little lower in front of me.

The padding on the front is very robust, yet based on the design, it expands very effectively to accommodate your gear.  Inside, there's a zipper-style divider that allows you to turn the compartment into 1 instead of 2 spaces.  With the divider up, I found it a bit snug to fit my camera body with a 50mm lens on one side, with an extra lens and hood on the right.  Your kit may vary.  There are also 2 smaller sleeve style pockets for holding you keys, money, media cards, pens, paper, etc. 

All in all, I like the pack.  I wore it during a 4 hour shoot recently and it remained comfortable and accessible the entire time.  I'd say it is a bit on the small side, but Kata has just released a larger model - the T-214 - that costs around double.  Or, if you need a lot more space, the T-212 is part of a 'system' that Kata offers with many of their bags.  This 'system' allows you to interconnect various models of their bags, so you can piece them together - effectively creating a body armour sort of look with your photography equipment strapped all over you.

If you're looking for a new - and functional - camera bag, I'd recommend giving Kata's products a look.  They'll most definitely have some bag to fit exactly what you're looking for.  And so far, the quality is definitely there in my experience.

# T212 BagGuest 2006-04-18 12:24
I also have the bag and, I must say, I am able to fit a Canon 20D with the 28-135 IS Lens and the Sigma 10-20 Lens inside the bag without an issue. It does get snug, but the pockets protect the equipment quite easily. What I liked about it was the ability to wear it either like a sling (To do this, you have to disconnect one of the straps, roll it up, and hold together with a rubber band) or the way it was intended as a front facing bag.



All in all, I like the bag.

Don't worry, #2 is probably from a tast force of people set out to hate QJ.NET and complain about every article they can. We don't mind.



I'm glad you guys enjoyed the review, and the bag. ;)

# It is what it isGuest 2006-04-19 04:52
Well, *I* paid for the bag... It was my decision to write about it too.

I get nothing out of mentioning it, except for possibly helping someone out who's looking for a new camera bag. Guess #2 isn't in the market. Oh well.
