Comments about Adorama Adorama Joe Farace Reporter II Backpack. Holds a 17" Notebook & a Digital Pro SLR with a 100-400mm Lens plus Accessories.:

Having read some negative comments about the construction of the Joe Farace pack, I was a little skeptical until I used it. My pack carried my camera, video camera, computer, and every space was full of extra gear for a recent trip. It handled all of the dragging through airports, catching the straps on unmovable objects, and being pushed in and out of tight storage areas I could throw at it. As full as it was, it did push the limits of how much weight I wanted to carry, BUT, it never failed to do the job.
I love the depth of the case, the very helpful outside pockets, and the many inside dividers. The top carry handle deserves special recognition for it's rugged utility. Being able to tuck to shoulder straps was another great feature. Some packs place the computer at the rear of the case near the outside. This pack places the laptop at the front, between the pack, and the straps where it is more protected. I would recommend this pack to anyone even over some others which bear a higher price tag.
