Lowepro, ThinkTank, Kata - they all know how to make these for next to nothing and charge an arm and a leg. I cut up a damaged Lowepro Fastpack 350 make a custom bag. Cheap foam, nylon stiffeners, clips, zips, cordura - there's nothing to these bags.
My bag right now is a freaking turtle shell I hope I can save up for this one. I don't mind that you can't switch lenses very quickly, most of the time you set aside time before events to set up your equipment anyway and being able to shrink the empty bag down will be very nice. I almost got heat stroke carrying around my clunker tamrac backpack
Been looking hard at this bag due to it's thin profile and ability to expand when needed. Thought about using the skin component lens pouches or modular pouches on the pro speed belt in lieu of the hip straps for quick lens change out. It's more comfortable and you can quickly remove the backpack and keep the pro belt with pouches on for better mobility. Outstanding design!
Nice looking bag, Jared! Do you know if it's waterproof? My trusty lowepro is and it came in handy many times. It would be a good travel bag but Im not sure about hiking etc...which is why it may or maynot be waterproof
Jared, you've got a monkey on your back! Good review. I have been looking to buy a bag like that. As for laughing and smiling more. I'm more of a "serious grinner" so I actually like your style.
@JaredPolin i like your videos so much. it's just a feeling about all videos i saw so far. i don't want you to laugh all the time. just thought you're taking it too serious.

When I went to Israel there were loads of bombs. When I came back my bag smelt of humous and was covered in phlegm.

@onemorelick I will double check when I get home but every bag I have from think tank comes with an emergency rain
cover, so Id think this one would as well.
