I have 5 LowePro backpacks but none were suitable for long trips across the world to visit without trudge. This model is perfect! A Canon EOS 5D Mark III with a 28-300 L series mounted and a GPS module installed fit perfectly, easy access to the side to the top, space for a laptop (or tablet), a place for everything a bunch of accessories there-including other objectives, all well protected and not really messy! Best of all, when it rains, it deploys protective cover and hop! Frankly a very good compromise between the very small light bag but do not contain anything, and the big practical bags for hiking for example, but much too big for the visit in urban or semi-urban areas.
