I like the idea that access to camera and lenses is secure against my back and I can get to them without taking off the pack. Just pull you arms out of the shoulder straps and swing the pack to the front of you for easy access to camera and lenses; you must have the waist belt fastened to do this. For my type of photography, I find this very helpful, when I need to change lenses without having to take off the pack; it is like a little table to work on without taking the pack off. You may need to support the pack with your knee so the pack doesn't "droop", but this depends on how much camera/lens weight there is. When you unzip the back panel to access your camera, it does not pull back all the way, maybe 85%, which makes it a little difficult to keep open, but this is minor to me. This back panel also has storage for items such as memory cards, waterproof note book, pencil, etc.
The front access to the pack has ample room for charger, filters, snacks, cap and gloves, cell phone, basic first aid, etc. There are molle slots on the outside of the pack itself as well as on the straps including on the waist belt to hold additional items There is also a hideaway tripod holder. I found that I could only get two legs of my tripod in the holder but it would hold it fairly secure once the strap near the top of the pack was securely tightened around the tripod. The tripod holder works very well for a mono pod. If you attach a tripod, this does limit access to the front of the pack; you may need to remove the tripod to gain full access to the inside of the pack, but this does not limit access to your camera storage in the back.
There are a couple of straps on the top of the bag you can use to hold a jacket or in my case, sometimes my tripod. There are pockets on the sides of the pack to hold any item you want, and I use for my water bottle and GPS.
One important thing to me is the zippers. Being a wildlife photographer I don't need the hassle of stuck or noisy zippers. These zippers are smooth, quite and tough. The zippers are also covered by the pack to protect them and have ties attached so they are easy to pull.
On the bottom of the pack has an all weather cover that covers the entire outside of the pack a big +, however it will not cover a tripod if it is attached to the pack. In my case the all-weather cover did cover my mono-pod when it was in the tripod holder. The cover does an excellent job of keeping the pack dry in rain or snow and performs very well in cold weather (I'm talking in -10 degrees F).
I highly recommend this bag for it's unlimited storage capabilities and ruggedness...this bag can hold a lot! It is very comfortable and even though I sometimes suffer from back pain, the adjustable shoulder and waist belt make it so I position the pack and I hardly notice the weight with no back pain, even on 10 mile hikes. The pack holds up much better than my body :).
It holds a lot of equipment (Canon 20D body no grip, 10-22mm EFS, 24-70mm 2.8 L, 70-200mm 2.8 L, 420EX flash, 2 soft boxes (folded), 2 battery chargers, blower, lens cleaning fluid, video cable, USB cable, MacBook 13.3 in neoprene sleeve, Mac power adapter) and I still had a compartment left for another small lens. I could even get the 20D with 70-200mm 2.8L lens on with its hood facing out into the center compartment if I took out the dividers.
And yes, the MacBook is not a typo. You can actually fit a 13.3" MacBook in a neoprene sleeve inside the flap over all the equipment. This was a big worry of mine since I carry a laptop wherever I go pretty much and it didn't have a dedicated slot for that which would have been it's only negative.
The equipment was easy to access but as someone else stated, the bottom compartments take a bit to get at so smaller items are best for those areas which is exactly what I did.
The bag carries a lot but still feels compact on your back and is not bulky like the AW Rover that bangs every seat down an airplane aisle even when you've cinched up the waist belt and maneuver around to avoid banging into seats. This one is compact enough that it stays in the aisle even when wearing it on one shoulder.
The waist belt and harness are very comfortable for not having cinch straps at the top and it pulls the bag to your back nice and tight when you have the chest strap on. Btw, they use a rail that the chest strap slides up and down for adjustment instead of gliding on the shoulder strap. This may be good or bad. I've never had the other type come off, but if it did I guess it would be a catastrophic failure that you can't recover from. This one came off after it got caught in the wheels of a cart. I was able to shove it back on although with quite an effort.
I love the look which is somewhat rounded and doesn't look like a camera bag. Also, the straps at the top held my Goretex shell well and didn't make the whole thing look bulky. They can double for securing a tripod on each side or in the middle back which is nice to have those options.
I put the separately sold bottle holder on one of the lock loops of the waist belt, which served as a miscellaneous goods holder for keys, wallet, lip balm, etc. that I needed quick. When I put the contents inside the bag, the bottle holder folded down nicely to be completely non-obtrusive.
Someone else brought this up in their review but I love the fact that since the opening is on the back side, the AW cover doubles as a ground sheet. You don't need to take it off to get at your gear.
This is great for longer trips and day hikes. It was a bit bulky to be unnoticed when walking around town but not enough to not be able to bring it along with me wherever I went even in the busiest areas of Tokyo. (even some of the trains at rush hour, granted you have to take it off and hold it)
There's nothing I don't like about this bag so far.
Ah, except that one piece of the chest strap connector broke from normal use. One of the 3 prongs on the inner piece. Maybe it was a badly molded lot or maybe the fact that the plastic is very stiff (but that gives it a very secure lock). However, it still stuck with only the other half holding it which I thought was kind of cool. But it shouldn't have broken in the first place so I'll be asking for a replacement.
Definitely 5 stars.

The front pouch is about large enough to fit a moderate sized tablet, I have a 10.1 inch tablet and it fits well, you might be able to fit a small laptop.
The backpack was slightly smaller than I was expecting but that doesn't make a difference to me, I can fit everything I need in the bag and it feels solid and secure.
1. DSLR + 200-500 Telephoto lens and an additional lens.
2. Two DSLRs with 50mm and 85mm attached plus an External Flash and Trigger. I also have a pouch with extra batteries and memory cards.
It could be too tight a squeeze for some, but it works for me. I don't use the separators much. So I save a lot of space that way.
A very sturdy bag. Certainly recommend for above combo.
En el interior incluye una bolsa que se adhiere a la parte superior y resulta extremadamente útil pues puedes llevar cubre soles, tapas y equipo de limpieza, todo en la mochila cumple con una función y se nota.
Algo a destacar, es que el acceso a la mochila es por la parte interior, lo que se traduce en una seguridad absoluta pues con esto evitas que harban y sustraigan tu equipo, en el exterior hay compartimento para las memorias y bolígrafos, también muy practica. Otro gran detalle es el sistema para cargar tu tripie, extraordinario de vedad.
En síntesis, recomiendo sin lugar a dudas esta mochila, también te recomiendo el revisar el modelo 300 que es un poco mas grande, pero seguro quedaras satisfecho con la calidad y funcionalidad.
