Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5549 Adventure 9, Photo / Computer Backpack, Red / Black:

Ok, I would have given this a higher star review, but the zipper on the laptop compartment has stopped working - or broke I guess you would say. The zipper no longer closes the compartment. In other words, when you zip the zipper up, the tracks don't stay closed. I would have expected MUCH better from Tamrac. I have only had this bag for 2 years, and only use it to store my equipment, so it's not like I've beat it up over the last 2 years. So I'm not sure if I just got a lemon, or if this shows a reduction in quality for Tamrac bags.

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5549 Adventure 9, Photo / Computer Backpack, Red / Black:

I travel a lot with both my laptop and camera - this backpack allows me to do it safely using only one hand bag. I also shoot wildlife and using the optional straps, I can attach my tripod to the bottom of the backpack while hiking. The backpack has both sternum and waist straps making it comfortable to carry (good weight distribution). There is ample space for my 7D, multiple lenses, accessories and food/drink for hikes. Overall, a versatile backpack that protects my equipment and provides convenient access to my camera equipment anywhere I go.

Great backpack. Fits everything except my 17" laptop. Advertised to fit but my Alienware M9750 won't fit through the zipper. Must be for a macbook. Otherwise very nice and comfortable backpack

Comments about Tamrac Tamrac 5549 Adventure 9, Photo / Computer Backpack, Red / Black:

I wanted a bag that would allow me to replace my laptop bag and allow me to bring my photo gear with me when I travel for my job (non-photography related btw)...

No problem holding a 40D, 17-50, 70-200L, Speedlite, and a 15" Macbook. Along with all the chargers, batteries, memory cards, etc...

The only problem is... when this thing is filled up IT IS HEAVY! but I don't think Tamrac can do much to help out there... should have bought cheaper gear ;-)

The one thing I would suggest to Tamrac to improve this product is to put some strap(s) or external pocket, etc... to allow you to carry a small tripod or monopod.
