I like and really need backpacks with daypack, ideal for day hikes or preferably on long bike rides.
Yes good, workmanship and material is nichst extraordinary and Tamrac like, just stand today's technology, I let the whole list of features and trivialities just to get away and concentrate on the essentials.
The Evolution 9 is big, very big, really big. And therefore fits well as a whole lot of pure. No problem him well and liked to loaded with equipment far more than 10 kg, which is barely enough if one wants to use even stand, daypack and laptop compartment, quick to get time beyond 20 kg. And that's the problem, because he's just so big and so much fit in, it is hard, really hard. But why should I want to otherwise establish such a big backpack to me if I would not take advantage of him. But then you have the makings yes haul yet. And by then you realize the extremely poor wearing comfort, a day trip is a pain ... nothing ergonomically that support few back cushion in any way, the padding of the strap are then also not optimal. It expresses, it drags, it really hurts. So extreme I've never experienced. You could schedule one month back rehab after three hours with full equipment already quasi.
The laptop is inserted into the pocket provided at the back of the pack from the top, so is also the top of the zipper. The straps are not attached to the backpack body, but at the laptop lid. The whole weight of the backpack is thus held solely by the zipper of the laptop compartment. Closes to the compartment accidentally not complete, the zipper opens by running movements after some time alone and the whole "construction" tilts to the rear. The shock sits one then once belonging to the bone. In my opinion, the plastic zipper and longer term by a high weight load here the weakest point of the entire evolution series are.
This breath of holding bag wrinkles for the tripod is too small. To me it's already happening, that's slipped out through the running motion the tripod. The position of the tripod should be fitted to the side for better weight distribution, but was moved to the rear, because of side access to the equipment. With a good heavy tripod but it is the center of gravity is still further back, so it pulls more.
Hiking backpack = = = sweating thirst ... it lacks a way to accommodate a water bottle ... and although the outside, for a day hike the daypack is already occupied with a slight change of clothes and food.
The backpack can be used as Sling variant. This painful experience with full weight only once does it per se. Of course, this wearing styles is intended for quick access to the lateral removal of the camera, but at the volume and possibly rather heavy weight suboptimal. With attached tripod SlingStream variants is überhautp not recommended.
Variable division of compartments with Velcro pads's standard. The equipment bay is so large that you have good design ability, but it has by inserting partitions also completed subjects on which the side openings can no longer be accessed. The backpack must be removed and the rear door are geöffent. At least here you will be annoyed by the unfavorable mounting position of a scheduled tripod.
My Conclusion.
So I can not really Postitives abgewinnen this backpack. It seems somehow to be a pure design study of the development office without the bigger picture and the actual specific needs! The real world. An attempt was made to construct a jack of all trades, with large volumes, daypack, many small compartments, laptop sleeve, side access, Sling variant pageview and tripod mount and that's gone here belong in the pants, definitely at the expense of good ergonomics and comfortable to wear ,
Really not thought through. Somehow Developed to reality. This must without sufficient customer testing simply can not leave the design studio.
