    I’ve used a lowepro photo sport 200aw a lot when guiding. Super comfy and great access for camera. There is a pro (30L) version with a removable camera pod which looks even better, and also a new photo sport 200II which looks good.

    Tip: I found that when biking, taking the aluminium rod out of the back allows the pack to hug your back better and it moves around a lot less. For hiking and climbing its better with the rod in.

    I’ve got a Lowepro but I wish I bought a Dakine Sequence.

    I also like the look of the Shadow X Greenfilms but it’s a bit more urban, skate, bmx style.

    I have DaKine Reload for 2 DSLRs, 3 flashes and a lot of lenses. If I can cut it down to just one big zoom and one flash and three lenses I use a Lowepro Reflex.
    The DaKine is ‘better’ in terms of ancillary storage but leads to me taking too much stuff.
    The Lowepro is a fine bag but is weird as the access is in the part of the bag that goes against your back. Also no storm cover. Not a problem really as the zips are against your back.
    I’ll fire off a pic if you want.

    John – take a look at the Evoc Photo Scout. I’ve binned myself at full speed with two bodies and several lenses and they’ve been fine. Bag and owner had a hole, but the cameras we’re fine :)

    I got my 200AW from China via eBay for under £40.

    Couldn’t tell the difference

    I was looking at a mindshift 180 like the idea.

    Thanks for this one, found a supply for it from in the UK (just a bit more that £40) but with free postage and another bit of kit I need.
