Comments about Crumpler Crumpler The Wickey and Cox Photo / Laptop Backpack, for Screens up to 15", Color: Gun Metal/ Grey:

I bought this Crumpler Wickey & Cox after looking at many different bags online and thought this was the best looking bag that would fit my needs. I have a Nikon D300s with 70-200mm f2.8 and 18-35mm f2.8. The bag fits all my equipment but it's very large and very heavy. If you are ok with having a good work-out with this bag, then this suits you. The "side pockets" are inaccessible as I cannot even get my hands in them. The laptop pocket is rather useless if you want to put a laptop, camera and lenses in the bag- it'll take some force to zipper that thing up. There's little to no room for any accessories since the side pockets are useless. If you are in any way a Photo Enthusiast or Semi-pro photographer, look at some other brands. Crumpler is stylish and probably good enough for the beginners.

I'll be putting this bag on Craigslist for sale and I might look at ThinkTank or Kata instead.

Comments about Crumpler Crumpler The Wickey and Cox Photo / Laptop Backpack, for Screens up to 15", Color: Gun Metal/ Grey:

This pack is a great size for me, fitting plenty of gear and not too bulky for a bus/ train ride or carry on. The outer shell seems to offer a lot of protection and the bag looks like a plain back pack, which is nice since I don't want everyone to know I'm lugging around thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Things that might be bad for some. When packed there isn't room for much else, and as someone else said the waist strap is worthless I just took mine off and find the shoulders with chest strap to be adequate. Overall I'm very happy with it.
