It's been my first "real" photo backpack. It serves me well for almost 3 years now. So far I've been able to squeeze every little bit of my equipment there and everytime I buy something new, I'm surprised that I manage to throw in YET another thing ;-). The layout shown on the photo is more like "storage config" than a real-life usage example, but still everything fits perfectly well.
What works
CAPACITY!, quality, flexibility, enormous confiuration options, AW cover, good tripod holder (I use 190Pro+460Mg head). It's virtually indestructible - I've had it in the mud, in the thunderstorm, never any single problem with the stuff inside.
Room for improvement
The waist belt could be a bit lower. I've been told that the Photo Trekker is better in this area, because it's longer. The main zipper could be more rigid, like the one in the Mini Trekker AW - it's not like the one here is bad, but it just feels less solid. The external pocket could be deeper, currently one can barely put some A4 documents there - once again, Mini Trekker is much better in this area.
