# Heavy-Duty Gadget Protectors Pelican's Progear S130 Sport Elite Protects Any Gadget Inside By Andrew Sztein | Published 2013-03-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sport-elite References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5989889/intense-travel-bag-ports-camera-gear-prevents-crushing-laptops) & [pelicanprogear](http://www.pelicanprogear.ca/) Anyone looking for a [practically invincible carryall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-loadout-gobox-1-gear-case) to protect cameras and computer equally may want to check out [Pelican's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelican-1595-air-case) Progear S130 Sport Elite bag. What makes this bag special beyond the plethora of bags out there that are cheaper than the Sport Elite's $300 price tag? Any photographer who travels around the world knows that a solid [camera bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wotancraft-rider-v2) is essential for protecting the livelihood that is their camera equipment, but that's not everything they need to take along. A modern photographer doesn't go anywhere without a laptop, or at least tablet, for communication and photo editing purposes. Most bags either give you the option of protecting lenses and camera bodies or a computer, but not both at the same time. The Sport Elite gets around that issue with a clever design that can comfortably hold camera equipment at the front and a computer at the back without the two devices crushing each other. The bag is also watertight when sealed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Heavy-duty Gadget Protection:** Opportunity for businesses to innovate durable and protective bags for electronics with multi-compartment designs. - **Multi-device Carrying Solutions:** Opportunity for businesses to create multi-functional bags that can accommodate multiple electronic devices. - **Waterproof and Durable Bags:** Opportunity for businesses to create tougher bags that can protect electronic devices from accidental damage and water. ### Who This Affects Most - **Photography:** Manufacturers could cater to photographers by designing bags that offer protection and easy accessibility to their gadgets. - **Tech Accessories:** Businesses that cater to tech enthusiasts could create bags, cases and other accessories optimized for carrying multiple devices. - **Outdoor Gear:** Suppliers of outdoor gear and equipment could explore the market for waterproof utility bags designed to carry electronics as well as other gear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactical Hyper-Durable Travel Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelican-1595-air-case.md) - [Extreme Environment Photographer Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowepro-photosport-x-backpack.md) - [Oversized Field Photography Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endurax-xl-camera-backpack.md) - [Smartphone Photographer Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandmarc-messenger-pro.md) - [Compact EDC Protection Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelican-micro-case.md) - [Protective Militant Carry-On Suitcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelican-atx-carryon.md) - [Protective Photography Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/db-ramverk-pro-backpack.md) - [Impact-Resistant Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impactresistant-laptop-case.md) - [Durable Laptop Sleeve Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portland-gear-laptop-sleeve.md)
