I love this camera backpack. It was perfect for a long travel trip where I needed protection for my camera but also plenty of extra room to carry other travel supplies . The side opening gave me easy access to my camera so I could be spontaneous during the trip without having to keep digging in & out of the pack.
Though, I felt it was a little big for day hikes, I would have preferred something smaller; it worked perfect as my carry on luggage. I was not traveling with a computer, but I found the added computer space great to put folders and books. The buckles on the lower half make an easy place to roll & cinch a light jacket.
I would call this an ideal 'Travel Pack'.

Platy Soft Bottle with Closure Cap

Cheap Platy Soft Bottle with Closure Cap Review

I have been using Platypus water holders for the last 15 years as I hiked the Appalachian Trail, The Long Trail in Vermont and the Colorado Trail. Before that I used Nalgene bottles. The Nalgene bottles weigh 5 oz and the Platypus bottles weigh 1 ounce. Not much of a savings you say? Well, i carry two of the Platypus and when compared with two Nalgenes the difference in weight FOR A LONG DISTANCE HIKER is significant. Further, these Platypus bottles can be folded up, rolled up, etc to stuff into a small space. I really like the feed tube that screws onto these bottles as you will drink more water when that water nipple is right next to your mouth. With the Nalgene you have to get at it somehow from wherever it is stuffed. With the Platypus I NEVER get dehydrated. A note of caution. Once in the past 15 years I got one that had a pin hole in it so ALWAYS check the bottle before depending on it. I took it back and it was replaced with no problem. It used to be that these Platypus bottles were guaranteed for life. I do not know if that is still the case so my advice is to ask if that is important to you. So, for weight and convenience this is the solution that I have been very happy with. I think you will be also.

Cheap NEW CUSCUS 6200ci Internal Frame Hiking Camp Travel Backpack -Navy Review

Purchased this at the last minute for a Boy Scout 50 mile hike. I'd purchased two for my sons a month earlier then got roped into going along with hike. Since I'd seen the quality & speed of delivery I quickly placed an order for this as well. In prior reviews people ripped this about zippers and buckles. I found if I pulled the fabric together on either side the zippers were fine & pretty strong. Only once did the belt buckle unclip, but for 50 miles of rough & wet terrain I thought that was pretty good. My only issue was the weight of the bag. Compared to some of the others packs on the hike, empty this one seems pretty heavy.

SealLine Baja Dry Bags

Cheap SealLine Baja Dry Bags Review

I use both the 5 Liter and 10 Liter bags for canoeing and rafting. They are extremely well made and I have never had any leaks, even after complete submersion. I used to keep a camera in the bag but not any more. When I saw something I wanted to photograph, I had to unfold the seal to get at the camera. This simply took too long and the moment was usually gone. So don't use this as a waterproof camera case. Get a waterproof camera instead and use the SealLine to keep your lunch and gear dry. That it does extremely well.
