This is one smart bag. Whether you're in the field or a safari vehicle it’s perfect when you want to be ready to take the shot at a moment's notice. The 3Xpandable bag can be ingeniously folded to three different sizes – or folded flat!
Every long lens camera bag in the Xpandable Series is constructed with heavy-duty water-resistant Cordura®—a rugged, abrasion-resistant fabric trusted by professionals in demanding conditions. Inside, a lightweight water-resistant nylon lining adds a second layer of protection, helping to shield your optics from rain, dust, and unexpected spills.
Hood extended or inverted, body attached or not, these lens bags conform to your setup thanks to their adjustable size, waterproof exteriors, and dense closed-cell foam padding. For photographers who require tough dependability while on the go, these are the best lens bags available.
Each long lens camera bag in the Xpandable series features a smart design with three carrying configurations: standard, mid, and fully expanded. This means whether you want to pack your lens with a body attached or reversed for compact carry, the bag adapts seamlessly.
This tri-phase adaptability lets the bag get bigger or smaller depending on how you want to carry your gear. This means you don't need more than one lens bag for one piece of equipment.
When it comes to safeguarding your gear, the Xpandable Series delivers best-in-class durability and shock absorption. Each lens backpack features:
If you’re looking for a waterproof lens case that doesn’t compromise on versatility or accessibility, these camera lens bags deliver on all fronts.

The durable carry handle and optional backpack straps mean you can haul your super-telephoto setup through airports, forests, or mountains—hands-free and hassle-free.
1. Can I fit my Canon 600mm or Nikon 500mm lens in the Xpandable series?
LensCoat’s Xpandable Long Lens Bags come in Small, Medium, and Large sizes, each designed to accommodate different telephoto lens setups. While specific lens models aren’t explicitly listed, the large size is built for full-sized telephoto lenses—even with a camera body attached and the lens hood in position. Be sure to check the interior dimensions listed on each product page to match your gear setup.
2. Is the Long Lens Xpandable Bag waterproof?
The Xpandable range of long lens camera bags all include an exterior shell that is water-resistant and weather-resistant flaps that are reinforced. It does a good job of keeping out rain and moisture, but it can't be submerged. If it's raining heavily, you might wish to use an extra rain cover or the LensCoat RainCoat accessory.
3. Is there a harness option for using it like a lens backpack?
Yes. An optional backpack harness is available for all models, allowing your lens bag to be worn securely on your back for longer hikes or remote shoots. It attaches easily via the D-rings and MOLLE webbing system.
4. Can I store my lens with the hood in shooting position?
Absolutely. The fully extended mode of each bag allows room for most hoods to stay in shooting position. For instance, the Xpandable Long Lens Bag 3X comfortably holds the Sony 500mm with the hood facing out and a body attached.
