The only thing that could be better is the shoulder straps are on the small side and one strap came undone other than that it's a great product . I use it mostly for riding my motorcycle and at 120 mils per hour it holds on nice and tight

I purchased this product for use as a hiking, camping and all around camera backpack, that doesn't LOOK like a camera backpack. It "looks" like what it is, a 30 dollar knockoff tactical backpack from Amazon. That is exactly what I wanted for my DSLR gear to at least minutely leverage against the interest of thieves who immediately target "camera backpacks".

But then I ran into a problem with finding an insert suitable for my SL3 because the large compartment isn't particularly deep, then I found another product, this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EA5MUM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Which easily holds my DSLR safely along with room for essentials in case you want to leave the backpack behind and take only the camera and essentials without additional gear, and fits perfectly within the largest compartment of the backpack.

Of great importance is that this backpack is VERY WELL laid out, with MANY compartments and pockets, making it a great choice for stowing a variety of camera gear, plus some hiking or camping essentials or other EDC items. I've been taking this bag with me to the lake, the river, campgrounds, in my car, throwing it around (Well, not THROWING, but being relatively casual with it and not treating it like a snowflake, and it has held up well so far. No stitching, zipper or any other problems in the two months I've been using it, and I've been using it quite a bit.

Am about to buy a second one to stow ONLY camping gear, because I can fit a LOT of essential gear into this pack and can use it without worry that being used for something other than urban usage will tear it up immediately. I have no doubt it will wear out eventually as it's not made of any sort of really expensive material, but the material it IS made out of is durable enough that I doubt you'll find another product that isn't basically the exact same, with this kind of durability, for the same price.

Even those cheap backpacks for carrying books are in this price range. If you want something better, you'll pay a lot more for it. Recommended.

this bag is a good one. i use it every day ... i carry a good bit of stuff around with me. its comfortable to wear the zippers have held up very well. like i said before i use this bag every day ... the zippers have been used a lot ... i don't baby this bag either ... i toss it around and i suspect if i had to sling it around to hit someone with it ... it would handle that well. buy an extra one for a buddy ... cause when they see it they'll want one ... i am still happy with it and i bet i'll get tired of it before i have any troubles from it ...

I've bought this style backpack a few times and am never disappointed.

Each backpack before this has failed due to zipper problems, but to be fair, that is mainly due to user error causes by overstuffing the backpack with stuff or lifting the full pack by the zipper strings.

Important to this review is to note that this particular size is more of a medium or one-day pack vs the size up which is easily a week-ender/ 3-day pack.

Inexpensive and gets the job done.

Well made backpack with many usable compartments. Versatile with MOLLE system.
