I have used this camera pack for a year and half now, and I'm very impressed. For example, I just returned from a ten-day trip to Arizona and I totally overloaded this pack with a DSLR, five lenses (one attached to the camera body), a 14-inch laptop, a tripod carried internally, and a huge number of accessories. The pack weighed just over 18 pounds. Honestly, I expected to have zipper blow-outs, broken zipper pulls, separated seams, even one of the straps to break. I slung it over a shoulder as often as I used it as a traditional pack, placing a lot of stress on the right strap. However, the pack hung in there with absolutely no damage whatsoever. Zippers are still good, seams are still tight, and there are no tears or breakages. The grab-handle at the top of the pack remained intact with no sign of damage, and I used it quite a lot. After cleaning some of the dirt and dust off of it, it looks as good as new. Incredible! I have travelled with it on trains, planes, and automobiles and it has proven to be extremely durable.
The usability is also excellent. Its size is barely large enough for my gear (see the attached photo) and it travels well. The only time I had an issue was when I flew on a Canadair RJ700 jet and it wouldn't fit in the tiny overhead compartment above my seat because I had it so stuffed it was too 'fat'. Fortunately, I was able to squeeze most of it under the seat in front of me, although I was travelling first class so I had a lot of legroom anyway. On an Airbus A319, it fit easily in the overhead compartment. It fit fine on the overhead shelf in an Amtrak sleeper bedroom (a full size bedroom, not a roomette), and it always fits in any vehicle I drive. If I had purchased a larger size pack, I would have had some problems with transportability. I refuse to check it with other checked baggage due to the equipment in it and the abuse it would receive, plus it's too easy to steal, so I always have it with me. I'm not a big guy (5' 7") but when I wear it as a traditional pack, it's very comfortable and the bottom part of it fits perfectly in the small of my back. There's no need for a belly band. The chest strap between the two shoulder straps can be used or left disconnected and hanging, depending on how strenuous your trekking will be. The shoulder straps are wide and well padded, with no discomfort at all. They also don't try to slip off the ends of your shoulders, so you don't need to use the chest strap in most cases. But when you do use it, it does make the fit of the pack quite confident and it provides a good, snug feel.
The compartments within the pack are easily customized. I have the entire right side of the main compartment dedicated to my tripod - a lightweight model that folds down to a very small size but still works well with under ten-pound loads. There is a ton of zippered pockets; far more than any other pack I looked at. It's easy to lose some small items inside one of the internal or external pockets, but I'm grateful that there are so many places to stash gear such as filters, lens/camera cleaning items, cables, chargers, batteries, extra data cards, a flash, and so on. When I'm not traveling, I'll use the laptop pocket to store two foldable on-flash lightboxes. I can even strap a u-bracket for my camera and flash on the side of the pack using the small straps intended for a tripod. It's an excellent go-to bag for portrait photography.
So overall, especially considering the relatively low price, this is a camera pack that I highly recommend. It's incredibly durable and versatile and you won't be disappointed.

The [[ASIN:B004JMZPJQ Case Logic DCB-308 SLR Camera Sling (Black)]] is my favorite out of the 3 DSLR bags however this one has to go back!
Pros:
1. The side entry without removing the bag from your shoulder.
2. I am able to fit an ipad in the front.
3. Love the strap management system. It's so simple I don't know why every company doesn't do this.
Cons:
1. Returning this bag since I'm a rather chesty woman and I find the sling to be quite uncomfortable. I've worn purses across my body in the same manner as the sling but I'm assuming they didn't bother me since the straps weren't as wide.
2. With such a small travel bag I would have preferred a place for my water bottle instead of the tripod.
The [[ASIN:B004AM624C Case Logic DLBP-114 14-Inch Laptop Backpack (Black)]] has a ton of storage! I'm considering keeping this bag to use for vacations since it does hold my laptop and everything else I could imagine.
Pros:
1. You'd be hard pressed to run out of room in this bag.
2. It fit my 15.6" ASUS laptop.
3. With so many removable sections you really have unlimited versatility.
4. This bag is very comfortable and the rain cover in the pocket at your lower back makes it ever more comfortable.
5. Love the strap management system.
Cons:
1. Too much storage for me. I could double everything I put in the bag and still have room for more.
2. Although I was able to remove a shoulder strap and gain access to the camera with some difficulty, I prefer the having side access for my camera.
The [[ASIN:B000YIYNOW Lowepro Fastpack 100 (Black)]] is my pick for everyday uses!
Pro:
1. Love the side access.
2. Large storage pocket at the top.
3. My Blackberry fits nicely in the accessory pocket on the strap.
4. The straps are very comfortable.
Cons:
1. This bag does not include a rain cover. I wish they would at least offer this as an option accessory on their website.
2. When the camera area is unzipped all the way to replace lenses and such it will not stay open on its own. Not a huge deal but it would be nice.
3. I can store my 55mm-250mm lens in the bag but if you're using anything larger you might want to purchase the Lowepro Fastpack 200

Comparison of the [[ASIN:B004JMZPJQ Case Logic DCB-308 SLR Camera Sling (Black)]], [[ASIN:B004JMZPK0 Case Logic DCB-309 SLR Camera Backpack (Black)]], and the [[ASIN:B000YIYNOW Lowepro Fastpack 100 (Black)]]. I was looking for the perfect camera bag that could carry a few necessities from my diaper bag and purse without being huge. Nothing worse than going on family outings with your 3 kids, a diaper bag, a purse and a camera bag, so I expected a lot of out of my purchase. I was not disappointed by any of these bags! All three bags were more than able to carry my [[ASIN:B004M170YC Canon EOS Rebel T3i 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera and DIGIC 4 Imaging (Body Only)]], [[ASIN:B000V5K3FG Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens]], [[ASIN:B0011NVMO8 Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras]], battery charger, a couple spare memory cards, travel pack of wipes, a couple diapers, a travel size powder, my wallet, sunglasses, compact, lip gloss, and glasses. They all gave wonderful protection for my camera and I am able to fit everything in all of these bags with room to spare.Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2011
