i am currently a college student -photography major, and i was looking for a back pack that will allow me to carry my camera+2 lenses and the rest of my stuff-schoolbooks,notebooks etc...all in one bag . it was very important to me that it wont be too big, since i am a petite person, and i would have looked ridiculous walking around with a huge back pack . overall, it is a nice sturdy back pack , it is water proof so if you get caught in the rain and get socken wet you can be sure that your gear will stay compleatly dry . the price is good too, if you compair it with other back packs.

Good backpack for day trips. Well padded, design support holds backpack on pillars and it stands easily on bottom which is also padded. Can take camera with grip easily and several accessories. Upper area has 2 zippered pockets for filters, rain coat, snack bars or more equipment. Worked well on several trips ~ 10 miles in length. Not as heavy as the expedition type packs. Good for carrying for quick trips. Minor things I would like to see improved would be pull tabs on the shoulder straps for rapid tightening. The ends of the strap sometimes gets wedged in the buckle. Also, wider shoulder straps would be nice when you are carrying your cameras and two big water bottles. It would be nice to have another attachment point on the straps for phone or meter, etc. These are suggestions in the attempt to get the "perfect" bag. It is good value for the money. I would recommend for its intended use.
