Review: Kata T-214 Torso Bag

Awesome! Connecting hooks! I see so this is now perfect.

Did you loosen the tightening/loosening device in the cover? When you loosen the cover with the button, then the cover should be large enough to easily cover the main bag the way the photo shows and then some...

yeah its as loose as it will go.. i'll take some pics tonight to show what i mean..

Then Kata must have made a mistake. Since you're taking a picture of it, you might want to send it to whoever that sold you so they can send you the correct one. I'm surprised they'd make a mistake like this...

nothings ever simple is it.. i'll give them a shout.

in the meantime this is what i mean.. assuming the 2 loops on the raincover are for the strap buckles to go through this is the correct way up..

Your first photo looks like a nice fit, but I don't understand your second photo, since mine doesn't get the zipper exposed. That's weird.

Also, when you said "the 3 extra straps supplied," which are you referring to? The rain cover itself comes with TWO loops for the buckles on the bag to go through. The bag itself has FIVE hooks at the bottom for the Waist Pack and other things to be attached. Were you saying that there are 3 extra straps ON THE RAIN COVER ITSELF?

these extra straps:

ive mailed Kata about the rain cover seeing as i imported it from the US. i'll see what they come back with..

Wow, that's bizarre... My shipment didn't include those straps... I don't know what's going on... Let me know if you've figured out whether those straps are for the torso bag...

update on my cover problem, bogen UK are on the case (no pun). apparently the rain cover was a very recent upgrade to the T-214 and the US are the only ones to have it as yet, so its being looked into.. excellent as its only getting wetter out there..

otherwise the bag is getting on very well, worn it on several occasions this week alone with no uncomfortable moments. well happy.

I have to wait till after Christmas now as it's on my list and from here till then I can buy nothing. Also my Bday is coming up so yeah...

I look forward to possibly getting this though.

I just pulled the trigger on Amazon for this bag as I am going to NYC and bringing my 5D with 24-70 attached and the 17-40 and 85 1.8. I think these would all fit nicely and maybe even include a 430 in the side pocket. I know I could take my Domke bag, but it would be too small.

I think all 5 items you listed would fit in the bag very nicely. Congrats on your 13th bag!

Hope the right sized cover gets to you soon.

update on my cover situation: bogen imaging say that spare covers are not in the UK yet but have first dibs on some when they come in. when theyre in theyll let me know..

hope they hurry up, its getting very wet out there.

I got the bag and will be using it in NYC in December as it's perfect, close to the body, can get to the gear quickly and securely. It secures well with a lot of clasps. I will take some pictures later. Really good quality too.

Gosh, Christmas is too far. I saw me wife on B&H and the heading said "Shipping Information" but I don't want to get too excited. There were a few things on that list but I really love this bag.
