This award-winning, convertible beltpack/backpack sets the standard for serious trekking photography. A regular on Mt. Everest, it can swing around for instant access to gear when worn as a beltpack. Designed for heavy professional use, it includes an All Weather Cover™ to protect against rough weather and dust, a tripod attachment system, a fully customizable interior, reverse-open lid for fast access, removable, padded, contoured shoulder strap, and a detachable daypack. A DryFlo™ mesh-covered lumbar pad and compression straps provide extra comfort for heavy loads.

This was my first camera bag. I selected it for the convenience of being able to separate the daypack from the beltpack and the convenience it can offer. In the end, I hardly ever used it as a belt pack and found it very inconvenient used as such. It made a decent backpack although the harness is not practical for serious trekking (the daypack is made of soft material without any kind of rigid back). I traded it for a Mini Trekker AW after having bought 2 medium/long lenses which did not fit in the bag on-body (70-200 f/4) or at all (300 f/4).

What works

LowePro quality, AW cover, roomy enough if you do not have to take long lenses, convertible bag can be convenient

Room for improvement

inconvenient to use as a belt bag and as a backpack for serious trekking photography (the daypack is made of soft material without any kind of harness); cannot hold long lenses on body
