Perfect pouch for travel and everyday use - space for tickets, passport, phone etc as well as a small camera or binoculars.
The Airline Stowaway certainly won't fit a DSLR but it will fit smaller cameras such as a mirrorless with a short lens, small fixed lens camera or rangefinder. See a list of example cameras and binoculars below.
The main compartment is padded on all 4 sides, plus the base. This makes it ideal to protect your equipment whilst travelling.
For ease of access the compartment features a double zip.

The Airline Stowaway (and Compact Stowaway and Pola Stowaway) have plenty of pockets.
A zip down the side of the bag gives you access to a pocket that's ideal for a passport. The zip on the front flap is perfect for a memory card.
Under the front flap is another deep dump pocket.
Adjust the removable shoulder sling to your height or remove completely if you wish!
Two stitched belt loops on the back to allow your hands to keep free when travelling or out in the field.
Just behind the belt loops is a deep dump pocket.
The particularly discrete styling of the bag means that it doesn't look like a camera bag at all – ideal for travelling without drawing attention.
The Pola, Compact and Airline Stowaways are identical in features. The only difference between them are the dimensions.

You can find out sizing for each specific part of the product. Just select a section from the below options to find out more details.
A small rangefinder camera (e.g. Leica M11 with small lens attached) with space for a passport, tickets, memory card, smartphone etc.
A small mirrorless camera (e.g. Leica CL, Canon EOS M6, Sony A6400, Fujifilm X-E4, Olympus PEN E-PL8 with small lens attached) with space for a passport, tickets, memory card, smartphone etc.
A small fixed lens camera (e.g. Fujifilm X100F, Sony RX100 VII, Leica C-Lux, Leica Q3 etc) with space for a passport, tickets, memory card, smartphone etc.
Small-to-medium binoculars (e.g. Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 8x50 or Swarovski EL 10X50 WB) with space for passport, tickets, smartphone etc.
iPad Mini, Amazon Fire 7" and similar very small tablets.
Please note that there is no way to sub-divide the main compartment in this bag, so the iPad Mini may bump against any camera gear you have inside with it. Adding a very slim case may be sensible. Storing a tablet will reduce the space available for camera gear. Aim for tablets less than approx 205mm (8⅛") tall and 135mm (5¼") wide if you can, although slightly bigger is possible.
Can the Airline Stowaway fit an iPad Mini?
Yes - however it would go in the same padded compartment as the camera (if you carried a camera). This might limit what camera you can carry inside the bag.
Can you attach dividers inside this bag?
No. The inside of this bag is made with a sheer fabric - therefore it is not possible to attach any of our Velcro® dividers inside.
You may want to consider the 'Pola Stowaway' instead. This has the same sheer fabric inside but some sizes of SuperFlex Partition will fit inside to provide the ability to divide up the space.
Does this bag need re-proofing to keep it waterproof?
No. The fabric is made of 3 layers - the middle layer is butyl rubber. Water cannot pass through this butyl rubber layer. As long as you don't get a hole in the fabric or expose it to harsh chemicals (for example in a washing machine) the fabric should remain waterproof for many years. There is no need to apply re-proofing.
What is the difference between 'Canvas' and 'FibreNyte'?
In simple terms ‘Canvas’ or ‘FibreNyte’ refers to the top, outer layer of fabric on our bags – the facecloth.
‘Canvas’ is a mix of cotton and polyester. ‘FibreNyte’ refers to our face fabric that is completely synthetic. Canvas is hard wearing, FibreNyte is very hard wearing.
Both fabrics are bonded to a non-wicking polyester backing fabric with a middle layer butyl rubber – this rubber layer makes both fabrics equally (and very) waterproof. Water can’t get through that rubber layer.
Both fabrics have a similar weave - the FibreNyte looks similar to canvas. Canvas is slightly softer to the touch, FibreNyte is slightly rougher to the touch.
Canvas is the preferred option for anyone that wants their bag to age gracefully and have that vintage look over time. This is particularly true of people who choose our ‘Khaki Canvas’ fabric as this looks particularly lovely as it ages.
If you prefer your bag to look newer and keep its colour for longer, FibreNyte is a better option. It is also harder wearing, particularly if you are going to be working your bag hard, hiking, taking it out every day and filling it to the brink regularly. If you are considering a black bag, we recommend considering FibreNyte.
Do I need to buy the shoulder pad?
The shoulder pad isn't essential but can stop the strap from digging into your shoulder if you're carrying a heavy camera inside the bag. It can also reduce the chances of the bag slipping off your shoulder. If you do buy a shoulder pad remember only the 'SP10' Shoulder Pad size fits.
