Photographer’s Clothing

My friends over at Haukland make an amazing photography jacket. It’s a 7-in-1 combination of 3 layers that has multiple pockets for all those goodies we carry around (batteries, memory cards, etc). It’s perfect for cooler weather as well as rain and snow. There’s even a handy little pocket for a microfiber cloth to clean your lens. They literally have thought of everything. That’s no surprise of course, since it is made by photographers, and for photographers.
