PADDED ON ALL SIDES AND DIVIDERS INCLUDED: The insert is padded with fabric covered closed-cell foam on the front, back, sides, base and the lid. To give excellent protection to your gear on all sides
The Hadley Small / Small Pro Divider Set is included with the padded insert. This consists of 2x vertical padded dividers and 2x horizontal padded flap dividers, that attach inside with Velcro®. Most people use the vertical dividers to create columns for their gear, then use the flap dividers to stack their gear within the columns.
DESIGNED TO FIT THE HADLEY SMALL/HADLEY SMALL PRO: Both bags are the same size inside and therefore have the same insert.
Note: The Hadley Small and the old Hadley Original look almost identical in some photos, but this insert is too small for the Hadley Original. The Hadley Small Pro is also easy to mistake for the Hadley Pro and Hadley Pro 2020 which use a larger insert. To identify your bag check the dimensions or the seams (especially in the front pockets) in the bag for a white batch label that usually has the name of the bag printed on it. Alternatively, contact us if you aren't sure and we can help.
ATTACHES WITH A PRESS STUD: The insert attaches inside the 'Hadley Small' and 'Hadley Small Pro' bags with a single press stud. This enables fast and easy removal.
INCLUDED ALREADY: This insert is included inside the 'Hadley Small' and 'Hadley Small Pro' bags when you purchase them. You only need to purchase this if you are looking for a spare or a replacement. A spare can be helpful if you would like to swap out different sets of camera gear more quickly.
NOT JUST FOR BILLINGHAM: This padded insert was designed for our Billingham bags however many customers use them with other bags too and that's ok with us!
FLEXIBLE: The padded insert is flexible to match the bag, especially front to back therefore it can fit items slightly larger than the dimensions suggest. Inside a Hadley Small, the insert can comfortably bow out to a 'D' measurement of 100mm at the bottom and 120mm at the top (at the centre).

CLEANING AND CARE
Billingham bags are designed to grow old gracefully! Professional photographers usually prefer a well-worn, battle-scarred Billingham to a new clean version; however, you may wish to reduce the grime level on your Billingham so here are a few tips:
- Remove any padded inserts, dividers and the base foam.
- DON'T put your Billingham into a washing machine; the detergent will almost certainly ruin the leather.
- DON'T dry clean your Billingham.
- Place the bag on a draining board and wash the bag with warm soapy water, using a nail brush on stubborn areas of dirt (don't submerge the bag in the water).
- Wash all soap away with clear water and allow to dry naturally (airing cupboard) or at least without too much heat. Excessive heat might affect the Stormblock waterproofing or the leather. Also, DON'T put the bag in a tumble dryer or equivalent device.
- When the bag is dry carefully apply leather dressing to the binding and leather areas. We recommend Mars oil or Nikwax. Try not to mark the canvas when you are applying the dressing.
The canvas is tough, the dyestuff resistant and Billingham Stormblock waterproofing is incredible, but hard scrubbing might lighten the colour and excessive heat or exposure to acids (such as battery acid) might spoil the Stormblock so please go carefully!
PLEASE NOTE:
- When storing the bag, we would strongly recommend that you make sure the bag is dry first and is stored in a clean and dry place to prevent bad smells or mould developing. Storing it in a shed or garage is usually a bad idea.
- The cleaning instructions for removable padded inserts and dividers are the same as for the bags themselves above.
- We would especially recommend against petroleum-based shoe polishes for treating the leather as they can cause the leather to dry out over time.
