A snowy twist on the recurring "How do I carry an SLR while biking?"...
At the moment I am using a [url= http://products.lowepro.com/product/SlingShot-100-AW,2034,4.htm ]Lowepro SlingShot 100 AW[/url]:

This is pretty good. It can hold my camera (Nikon D80), 3 lenses (long, normal, wide) and some filters. It has a cover if the weather turns bad and it is easy to access quickly.
But ideally I'd like something that had compartments for other non-photographic kit like goggles, extra layer etc.
Is there anything similar, but bigger with separate "stuff" bits?
Dakine have a SLR biking bag.
Tamrac Expedition 5x probably fits the bill.
Carefully!! Heyhey, bdumtish 🙂
woody - I was thinking that...
DaKine do (or used to do) a camera bag for snowboarding etc). Built like the brick proverbial, but a bit OTT if you just want something to troll around with a camera.
Wrapped up in a jumper inside a normal snowboarding backpack?
MMM.. just been looking at the Dakine Sequence

Which has a removable camera pod inside it and is apparently a [url= http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AgTp0DhWqHs ]"super well thought out bag"[/url]. 🙂
Ive used a Burton Snowboards bag which is very similar to the DaKine one.
A work of warning however - these bags however well designed will never protect your camera 100% and insurance (that will actually pay out) is essential.
I went down hard on some off piste (and i mean hard - steep bowl, falling / rolling for a hundred meters plus vert + lots horizontally) resulted in a lens snapping off the mount.
Carefully!! Heyhey, bdumtish
Yeah, but hey, it's insured.
I often end up with it on a strap round my neck and just tucked into my jacket.
That way I can take action pics while I'm boarding along next to someone.
(what was it I was saying in that other thread about boarding sensibly...?)
2nd Vote for Tamrac.
Where would I put other stuff in the Tamrac?
It looks like it is all for camera stuff:

I have LowePro TLZ AW that I stick in a Camelbak menance. I'll let you know how well it works next week! I'm limited to one lens tho (70-200 F4L on a 30D most of the time I should think).
Tamrac products are built to a very high standard. Better than lowepro imho. Get your hands on one and you'll see what I mean.
Fair enough, but I'm after something that has separate compartments for other (possibly damp) gear.
That Tamrac looks like an excellent bag, but I'm not sure it has what I need for boarding.
They seem to have a lot of different bags. Check 'em out.. [url= http://www.tamrac.co.uk ]http://www.tamrac.co.uk/[/url]

Hmmm... the Tamrac Adventure bags have more potential...
