I got this as an alternative to a much larger camera bag that's just way bigger than what I need for quick photo shoots. This one is the perfect size to use as a photography "go bag", with a good variety of pockets and compartments for small items and accessories.

The main compartment can be configured in multiple ways using the padded Velcro dividers. The laptop compartment is very roomy, with plenty of space for my MacBook Pro. I especially love the fact that one of the side zippers provides access to the main compartment, so I keep my primary camera body with an L lens there for quick access.

Construction and materials are very good. A rain fly is included and stores conveniently in a Velcro pocket at the bottom of the backpack. The buckles and straps are easy to adjust and the backpack is very comfortable, even when fully loaded with gear.

One of the first things I noticed is that even when empty, this backpack is somewhat heavier than I would have expected, but I attribute that to the very thick padding on the outside shell. That said, the padding does provide a lot of protection to the delicate equipment inside.

This backpack looks great and is very well built. It is a bit on the pricey side, but you get a lot of features for your money. Recommended.
