I currently have a LowePro Protactic 450AW II, which is quite nice and transports a decent amount of gear plus things to eat and drink. Their strap system where you can attach additional thingies on the outside is also quite nice. Works for example great to carry of playground toys around as well when i go there with the kid ;-)

All in all it works well for anything up to maybe 2-3h walks, but would not be good for longer hikes. Also it’s look might definitely not be for everyone.

So i was wondering what other people have, like and dislike about that.

    I personally have an Ulanzi BP09 (I think, the letters might be slightly different. I got it because Mark Bennett’s Camera Crisis suggested it)

    Personally, I like the size of it, it can fit my camera, and a bunch of lenses (I only have one, so I put jackets and such in the extra space). I also like that it’s somewhat weatherproof with the sealed zippers and tough fabric. Being able to open its back is also cool, and the quick side access flap to get out the camera is neat.

    However, if I were to go back in time, I would personally just get a camera sling and a regular backpack. A regular backpack is more versatile, and getting a camera from a sling would be far easier (the side access flap is a bit hard to reach sometimes)
