Model & feature comparison


This comparison table of some particularly popular compagnon models gives you an immediate overview:

The model comparison does not show all individual models, but the orientation and focus of the respective product range can be easily recognized.


Element Line - focus on performance


The strengths of the Element backpack, for example, essentially apply to every model in the Element Line.
The Element sling 18L, for example, is a genuine sling backpack. It is always carried on one shoulder and diagonally on the back. Thanks to the VarioStrap, you can even change the shoulder strap.
The Element sling 7L, on the other hand, is a classic shoulder bag with the functions of the Element Line.
This means that the Element Line models from backpack to pouch differ in more than just the size of the storage space.



Heritage Line - genuine emotion

The Heritage models are characterized by the use of natural, southern German bull leather and, where appropriate, Scottish canvas.
With a Heritage model, instantly recognizable by the Gen III generation code, you are choosing a companion that combines a timeless classic look, unique feel & naturalness and reliable robustness.
Modern, technical details are also present in the Heritage Line, but well concealed so as not to detract from the stylish look. A traditional, special treat for connoisseurs and enthusiasts.

Does your camera fit?

Photographic equipment is almost like fingerprints. Very individual and diverse. Unfortunately, we cannot offer a clear yes/no answer for every camera system and lens/accessory combination for every model.

For each product, you will not only find sample loadings, but also the most accurate internal and external dimensions possible.

This means you can use a ruler/measuring tape at home to compare which size is right for you.

But sometimes the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If you can't decide for sure after measuring, you can of course order one or more models and try them out at home.
If this compagnon is not the right one for you, you can return it for a refund in accordance with our cancellation policy.
