| Review Detail |
So, after reading numerous reviews, and even watching a youtube vid or two about this pack, I plumped for it and ordered one from the States - I looked all over here in Sydney but couldn't find one in stock.
I've not actually taken this on the slopes (or on a trek as I've actually bought this for on this occasion), however I figured I would write a few things to fill in the blanks that I found whilst I was researching buying this bag. |

| Strengths |
| Good size, Good style, Functional fit with pockets a plenty and water-proofing well thought out. |
|
| Weaknesses |
Where are all the lens divider inserts?! There's all this space, and my lenses are falling about the place cos I can only split the two side bays once! I'll have to now either make some myself, or source some elsewhere, but I bet they won't be matching red... a very poor oversight in my opinion for a pretty expensive pack. The only person that this would be suitable for would be carrying a body, 1x 70-200 f2.8 (fixed to cam), and 4x 24-70's f2.8s.
The other thing I couldn't work out from the reviews/pics/vids was how much actual space you had left for stuff after photog equipment... answer; not too much. Probs about 7litres (using my 15litre daypack as reference).

| None designed as a snowboarders pack, but this replaced a Lowe Pro Flipside 300. |
