You truly appreciate the value of a high-quality backpack only when you’re caught in the rain, sweating through a long summer hike, or accidentally drop it and hope your precious gear stays unharmed. In this review of the K&F Concept Nature Wander 20L, we’ll explore how well it protects and comfortably carries your photography or drone equipment — even in demanding real-world conditions. Thanks to its fresh, modern design, it also remains stylish and trendy for everyday use in urban environments.
I wouldn’t call myself a backpack collector, but somehow I’ve managed to accumulate around twenty of them over the years. Still, the one that has seen the most action is my 25L Think Tank FPV Session. Designed for FPV drones, it’s surprisingly practical — with a configurable interior, plenty of space, and even a laptop compartment, it’s been my everyday companion for almost five years. The signs of wear are starting to show, though — faded fabric, a few scuffs here and there — reminders of countless flights and road trips. That’s why the K&F Concept Nature Wander 11 immediately caught my attention. With its fresh, urban design and clever functionality, it feels like the perfect balance between style and practicality.
K&F Concept offers two main lines of photography backpacks — the Nature Wander and the Urban Wander series. Both provide similar carrying capacities and feature customizable interior layouts, but each stands out with its own distinct design and aesthetic.
Where Practicality Meets Style: Carry Your Gear Fashionably
Disclosure: I received this backpack for a product review collaboration with K&F CONCEPT. Product specs and quality may vary according to the manufacturer’s reliability, so I cannot guarantee that you will get a product that performs the same as in my article.
It’s been a while since I last reviewed a backpack, so I gladly accepted K&F Concept’s invitation. For this autumn season, they’ve prepared an impressive lineup of vlogging and photography gear — and I got to choose three products to test.
The Nature Wander 20L backpack arrives neatly packed in a sturdy cardboard box, giving a solid first impression of quality. Inside, you’ll find a rain cover to protect your gear in unexpected weather, three large EVA foam dividers for customizable storage, two smaller dividers, and two Velcro straps to keep everything securely in place. Right out of the box, it’s clear that the backpack is designed with flexibility and protection in mind, allowing photographers, drone pilots, and vloggers to organize their equipment efficiently while keeping it safe during travel or daily use.
K&F Concept Nature Wander 11 (20L Backpack): First Impressions
When my wife saw me unboxing it, she immediately liked it and jokingly asked if I was finally going to retire my old, “general-purpose” backpack. I usually carry a mirrorless or DSLR camera, my 14″ laptop, and one of my drones, and at first glance, the Nature Wander 20L seems to have just enough room for all of it — without feeling like I’m smuggling a small suitcase on my back!
The Nature Wander 11 backpack is constructed from durable, water-resistant polyester fabric with reinforced stitching to enhance wear resistance. The funny thing is, it has so many pockets that I lost count twice. Behind every zipper or flap, you’ll find two or three more pockets. It’s designed to let you organize everything—from the smallest accessories to a full-sized telephoto lens. There’s even a dedicated slot to keep your memory cards neatly organized.
With the top lid rolled down, the backpack measures 44 × 28 × 17 cm, and when fully extended — for example, to fit a jacket or some extra gear — it reaches 64 × 28 × 17 cm. The large front pocket is also expandable by 2 liters. This clever expandable design provides additional storage when needed while maintaining a compact, streamlined profile for everyday use. Additionally, it has two easy-to-access side pockets for a water bottle or filters. Through the left side pocket, you have access to the main compartment, allowing you to remove equipment—such as a lens—without taking the backpack off.
On the bottom of the backpack, there are attachment rings and two dedicated adjustable straps that allow you to fasten a tripod or other accessories securely.
In addition to its waterproof materials and watertight zippers, the backpack also includes a removable rain cover (photo below) for extra protection during heavy rain. This cover safeguards the entire bag from water, mud, or dust—making it ideal for biking through forest trails or traveling in unpredictable weather.
How Much Gear Fits Inside the K&F Concept Nature Wander 11: Storage (20L) and Versatility
As mentioned earlier, the K&F Concept backpack offers a generous 20L capacity. Beyond its multiple small pockets for accessories, it includes five Velcro dividers that let you customize the main compartment to fit your gear and shooting setup perfectly. The two velcro can be used to secure things to prevent them from accidentally falling out of the backpack.
You can easily load a DSLR or mirrorless camera, a flash, and two to three lenses, plus extra batteries, without any hassle. If you’d like to carry your DJI Mini drone, there’s room for that too—including its controller, charger, and battery. The dedicated compartment on the flap comfortably accommodates laptops up to 14–16 inches, making this bag a solid choice for both photographers and drone enthusiasts.
While the expandable pouch-style top compartment can easily hold a rain jacket, hoodie, or even some lightweight snacks, the bottom straps are designed to secure bulkier gear such as a tripod or foam camping mattress. This design makes it perfect for both city photographers and outdoor adventurers, allowing you to adapt the storage space to your needs, whether you’re hiking, biking, or traveling.
K&F Concept Nature Wander 11: Ergonomic Fit and All-Day Carry Comfort
Besides its smart, well-organized space, comfort is a big win with this backpack. The foam-padded harness and breathable, ventilated mesh on the back make it feel light and easy to carry, even after several hours. I’ve mostly used it in crisp autumn weather, so I can’t promise it won’t get a little sweaty on a blazing summer day—but for cooler trips, it’s been an absolute joy to have it on my back, keeping everything I need neatly in place and easily accessible, thanks to the side access.
Its compact size makes it perfect for carrying in an airplane cabin, and the convenient back strap lets you easily attach it to your trolley for smooth travel.
Price, availability, and other options
Priced at $89.99, this 20L backpack isn’t the cheapest on the market. When you’re spending $1000-$2000 on photography or drone gear, another 100 bucks for a bag to house it all safely is surely a no-brainer!
You can order the Nature Wander 11 from K&F Concept’s official Amazon store and authorized retailers.
