The material makes a good quality impression. The exterior and interior materials and even the zippers see stable and also the processing, both the backpack and the camera bag is, well - it's nowhere to be seen loose threads or the like. The material is durable, raindrops just roll off. For heavy rain you have a raincoat for the backpack as well as one for the camera bag, both of which are easy to coat.
The outdoor backpack:
The special feature of this bag is the quick access to the camera bag by laterally mounted tray. Another special feature is that you can separate the interior by a zipper. So is the camera bag in the lower part and the upper one can be a jacket, food or otherwise accommodate. If you want to leave the camera bag even at home, you can open the zipper and thus has more space in your backpack.
Next Special features of the backpack:
- Is located on the back of a bag in which to store a laptop or the like.
- On the waist belt are on each side two pretty small bags in which one gets more than a small cell phone.
- At the bottom is the case for the rain cape, which is closed with a zipper.
- At the bottom you will find also two belts to which you can attach a tripod.
- Oh to a cup holder on one side is intended.
- Also on two loops for trekking poles was intended.
- On the front is a large open pocket for example, a hiking map.
- The backpack is closed at the top by a drawstring and about then the lid of the pack, which is fixed with snap fasteners.
- The cover of the backpack is a bag to the one approaches comes from the outside. In it you can store small items such as wallet, keys or mobile phone.
- Inside the top is a small pocket for example, is a purse.
The Camera Bag:
You can see the camera bag over his shoulder, hanging with the supplied strap, fasten with two belt loops on the belt or Simply enter the strap. The camera bag is well padded and has enough space for a small DSLR or system camera with two lenses. The interior can be personalized with the help of two padded divider strips that are attached with Velcro on the inner lining. Also in the interior you will find two small pockets for memory cards and a slightly larger for example cleaning accessories. On the front of the camera bag is still a pocket with a zipper, an open side.
The shoulder straps and hip belt are well padded. Adjusting the shoulder and hip belt requires some trying out - who are not sure how this is going exactly who can search the Internet to help. Everything is there: adjustable shoulder, hip and chest strap. The back is well ventilated because the backpack, thanks to the padding, not the back rests.
The outdoor backpack with associated camera bag looks thoughtful but does not make me very happy. Me missing, two subjects on the backpack in which you can accommodate small items. The large open pocket on the backpack I do not like - I do not know for what to use it. Better they would have liked, if they could at least close with Velcro, you could possibly also behind can attach a few small compartments. The two pockets on the hip belt would calm can be somewhat larger. Well, I like the side pocket for quick access to the camera, and that you can separate the interior of the backpack. So you can take out the camera bag without the risk of other items with pull.
Also not covered are the mounts of rain caps. They are secured to me the backpack or camera bag. If they are wet, you can not settle this and hang up.
The backpack is very versatile. You can also use good camera bag without him. I would, however, have liked a few more little pockets and a better solution for the rain caps. By and large, however, a well thought Duo with many benefits that do not offer a normal backpack and a single camera bag so.
UPDATE 07/06/2015:
After still less than a year two seams are already risen with each of which a belt was sewn to the backpack. A seam is on a strap, the other on the flap of the backpack. The backpack was not more than 1-2 times per week in use, because something may not even actually happen. With needle and thread - something else I did not, unfortunately - can not sew the strap or back up again, because I just can not get through the fabric and the belt. I have tried to harness the edge "to secure" I hope that keeps so for a while.
