Exposure 10L Vest, Desert / S/M
The Exposure 10L Camera Vest is more a tool than a bag. Designed to keep you in the flow with quick access to your gear. Inspired by athletic fit of running vests and the performance of technical fishing vests, it brings your camera gear closer to your body and moves the way you do.
The unique Y-Shaped form wraps naturally around your torso, creating a hybrid pack that blends the accessibility of a vest with the capacity of a 10L backpack. The unique design disperses weight between your side, front, and back, making it as comfortable to wear over a jacket at a coffee shop as it would be on the trails as your primary camera backpack.
The dual Rapid Access Pockets (RAPS) give you multiple storage points on the front of your body for gear access at your fingertips. Zipper pocketing and quick-access mesh stretch pockets add extra flexibility.
It’s our new favorite way to carry gear for fast and light missions.
Note: The black and desert vests both now have two zippered pockets instead of one on the front. We're updating the assets for the black vest soon
Our Review
Moment Exposure 10L Camera Vest — Carry your camera and your whole trip on your body
The gist: A hands-free, weight-distributing camera vest that lets traveling photographers move fast through airports, markets, and trails without ever checking a bag.
- Balanced carry: 10L total capacity in a Y-shaped form that wraps the torso, distributing weight across front, back, and sides — no single-shoulder fatigue on long travel days.
- Lightweight build: Weighs 0.8 kg (1.76 lb) empty, built from stretch mesh and lightweight technical fabrics with no thick coated panels — keeps your overall pack weight in check.
- Laptop and hydration ready: Back compartment fits up to a 14-inch laptop or hydration bladder, with an internal cable routing channel for MagSafe charging on the move.
- Quick-access camera pockets: Side stretch pockets sized for a compact camera (e.g. Fujifilm X100VI), plus two front stretch mesh pockets and a bungee water-pouch spot for grab-and-shoot moments.
A reviewer at 5’8” / 190 lb found the S/M fit comfortable during extended wear, praising the balanced weight distribution, but flagged the hook-style sternum connectors as fiddly — particularly when wearing gloves.
Best for: Run-and-gun photographers who want vest speed with backpack capacity. Skip it if: Skip it if you shoot in cold weather or wear gloves regularly — the hook-style sternum connectors are genuinely awkward to clip and unclip without bare hands. Runs ~$120 open box — check the current price before buying.
