Customer Review: great bag for day hikes
For a “serious amateur” photographer with one body and a couple of lenses, this is probably the best bag out there for day hikes and around-town jaunts. I did quite a bit of research before ultimately deciding on this one. It went up against a couple of Lowepro bags (i.e., Trekker II, Fastpack 100, Flipside 200) and a couple of Kata bags (i.e., DR-465 and DR-467). In shopping for a camera bag, I had a couple of main objectives: I needed a backack-style bag that would safely hold a few pieces of gear (a Canon XTi body, 2-3 lenses, and a SD630 point-and-shoot), a bag that did not scream “I am a camera bag”, and one that would be comfortable to wear on relatively challenging day hikes (e.g., up Mt. Mansfield in Vermont) while accommodating a few non-camera items.
