Legit "live/work out of this bag" capable. The multiple access points are excellent, the harness is comfortable enough for all-day shoots, and the build quality is instantly trustable. Wildly functional and one of the toughest, most capable camera backpacks in the category.

Beefy, perfect materials for structure and shape, handmade in the USA. Two external zipped compartments plus a spacious main capacity. Accessory clips, molle attachments, Cobra strap buckle.

Intense and feature rich for a sling this size. The only one in the lineup that expands and contracts for extra capacity. Pockets literally everywhere and accessory straps for external carry.

Seriously rugged camera backpack. 35L is huge and really well built. Tasty tactical aesthetic, but it's literally as tough as it looks. Great access, excellent harness.
View Bag
An amazing balance of rugged and sleek. Solid structure holds the capacity wonderfully. The 9L and 12L versions especially killer for larger EDC loads. Slick custom quick release on the strap.

Excellent materials. Two main compartments (middle one is expandable) and a front "grip it and rip it" pocket. Stowable backpack straps.

Sleek and very weather resistant with great organization inside.

Converts from backpack to briefcase with external access and style for days.

Another one of my personal favs. A little bigger (though they have a small size as well).
Burly and tactical in design. Solid external access. Customizable segmentation of main compartment with padded hook and loop shelves and side access. 16" laptop fits tightly in protective compartment.
Rugged builds with lots of organization and access. Organization inserts available. Lots of capacity. Multiple sizes.
Maximum carry-on size backpack with burly materials, a tight (and long) front pocket, a very protective laptop pocket and a massive main compartment. GoRuck shoulder straps are a personal favorite.
Burly, tactical looks with protection enough to satisfy just about all of us. Built in rain fly. Huge #10 zipper all around. Very solid option for intense camera carry.
Easily one of my favorite bags for serious urban and outdoor daily carry. The Alpha 31 from Remote Equipment is a delight to use and will remain durable for years and years.
The Axiom pack from Triple Aught Design is a stealthy, rugged, super thoughtful daily carry that can handle heavy duty organization and bad weather.
Expensive, but it's got an amazing warranty. A simple, understated, powerful bag that will gladly see you through anything in life.
