The Cloak Bag is a tad bit confused and confusing at the same time. Follow along:
- It’s a camera bag that doesn’t look like a camera bag.
- It’s a bag that you put your camera in and that attaches to your camera both.
- You don’t need to remove your camera from the bag to take photos.
I’ve gotta say that I like the idea for general camera use (not weddings or portrait shoots). It’s got some interesting things going for it. A) You won’t look like a tourist. B) You won’t look like a target to thieves. C) BONUS POINTS your camera is protected.
You do run the risk of looking a tad bit silly while actually taking photos but I’m sure you could get over that fairly quickly. What do you guys think of the Cloak Bag?

That’s going to get some strange looks when you’re standing in the middle of the city looking through a bag. Plus, there’s very little bag to put anything else in. Would you end up walking around with a real bag and the fake camera bag?
I’m curious- how does it handle shorter lenses and wide-angle lenses? My 10-22mm would definitely end up getting bag in the frame, even with its lens hood on.
I like the idea as a protection from the elements with all the snow and rain we had recently in the southeast I could of used this.

I am going to use the ‘S’ word, stupid!
What is this bag good for if it only houses my camera? And why would I want to hide my camera anyway?
If it is for camera protection, fine, but any sling bag will do better than that and with space to spare.
In my opinion, it is one of those items that the makers hope to find some “trendy gurus” to vote and cheer-lead for it so some gullible photographers -that do not have the guts to say “the king is naked”- will buy it and carry is everywhere (because the trendy people said so).
I am usually not that mean.
