Great design! August 28, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
Some may argue that the way this bag is designed is backward, but I think it is great. The idea of having the opening against my back and not accessible to everyone behind me is quite appealing. Carrying close to $3000 in one lens/camera combo would make for a huge loss should someone be able to access my bag from behind and quickly get away. With this bag, I know my equipment is safe. Holds my 40D with grip and 70-200f/2.8 easily. Great size for a quick get away or to go shoot my kids' games. Not oversized like my Trekker. Perfect, in my opinion.

For years I've made do with an old camera bag that was "The" bag...25 years ago but despite the faded appearance, downright ragged look and relatively small size I couldn't bring myself to part from it simply because I was unable to find anything functional yet affordable that came closs. Recently I changed camera's and purchased a few new items which meant I had to break down and purhcase a new bag - the other was simply unable to fit the new camera with grap plus lens.

I started out buying a Tamrac messenger 7 thinking it would work - I only have three lens, the camera plus grip and the typically assorted misc. Unfortunately, as soon as it arrived it became obvious the Tamrac was not meant for a camera with grip attached. I fiddled with the inserts every way possible to no avail - the fit was bulky at best and left me fearful of an inadvertent breakage.

Trying to make it work I purchased a "fanny pack" to switch all the accessories to plus a couple of lens packs/case to provide extra cushion. While both were a good deal and provided the protection I needed the entire situation was gettting out of hand - too much to keep up with and difficult to access.

Finally, I decided to try out this Lowepro...great choice! It provides much more protection than the Tamrac bag, is easy to access, actually fits my camera - with grip, 3 lens (1 zoom, 2 prime) plus assorted misc. Easy to organize, easy to carry, easy to access and easy on the budget.
Wish I had bought this one first. Actually has a little room to grow if needed - or just enough space to put in a few extras without having to wrestle every time you access the camera or want to change a lens. All in all an excellent value!

Good Bag that could be Great December 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this bag in october and for the most part I love it. I can fit everything I need for a 3-4 mile hike comfortably. It sits close to my back, and even when full I do not feel it like I did my old pack. My olny real complaint is the lack of a weather cover. The material is supposed to be water resistant but if you get stuck in the rain, I do not believe it would keep the moisture out.
As stated in other reviews, this pack holds a fair share of equipment. I am a big boy and most packs rub my neck and leave me with sore spots. This pack has adjustable everything. while no one pack can do everything, for the short half day hike, this pack is what you want.

It's a nice bag, but I find it a bit small. Great "starter" bag. I find as your camera collection gets bigger you many need a bigger bag. Read more

Good concept, poor execution
I like the idea of a camera bag that can be slung around and accessed without taking the bag off, but I was disappointed after closely examining the Flipside. Read more
