This bag just oozes quality. It is exceptionally well made, with lots of nice touches that show the quality, like the way the zippers work, and the high quality pull tabs they use rather than standard metal or canvas ones. The airflow back and shoulder straps are very comfortable and the weight distribution makes it comfortable to wear even when it is fully loaded. It is very rugged. The material, while hard-wearing, is not waterproof but there is a waterproof cover in a compartment under the bottom of the bag.
When I got this bag I was surprised at how large it is for a 20L capacity: I have a couple of regular Berghaus backpacks and it is larger than the 24L one. The reason for this is the thickness of the padding of the actual bag shell, and then the additional padding of the insert case. The insert takes up the entire inside of the bag and has 12 compartments to hold your gear (one for the camera and 11 others for lenses/ flashes etc). For an amateur like myself the bag looks woefully empty with only one camera body, 2 lenses, one flash, lens filters and spare battery and memory cards. The internal casing however is well designed with the compartments being reconfigurable by removing and changing the position of the dividers. Unfortunately if you shoot with a smaller DX camera and short lens then you end up with a fair amount of unused space due to the size of the dividers and where they can be attached. The two long dividers that run down the middle of the bad are just a bit too long to run widthways instead, and the velcro doesn't go all the way up to the top, so you can't make it exactly fit a smaller DSLR. I also found it awkward to use the backpack to also carry supplies for hiking (which is what the bag seems ideally suited for) because of the narrowness of the compartments left down the two sides of the camera: they were too small to store anything bulky like a fleece, though did easily hold phone, wallet and so on. I've used the bag on a few rambles and found it very comfortable even over long (3+ hours) hikes. However, if I was going hillwalking I would prefer something like the Lowepro Rover 35L which has a separate space for your non-photographic gear.
The water bottle compartment is useful and unlike some other bags it is secure. The tripod mount on the other side did not work well for me. The bag obviously distributes the weight well because it felt much lighter and more comfortable than carrying my tripod in its usual carry case. However, the tripod was slightly too large to fit into the loops, and slid progressively downwards, not being securely fastened. However, I am still using an old, bulky tripod, and assume most normal-sized tripods would fit securely.
The camera compartment is removable and leaves you with an excellent rucksack that is carry-on compliant. I used this bag as my main luggage for a city break and it was excellent for the purpose. It was very comfortable, and the access via the back of the bag made it feel much more secure than a normal backpack.
All in all, this is a high quality and comfortable piece of kit for serious photographers who have a lot of kit and don't like feeling weighed down. For those who don't carry a lot of gear it may be overkill, and hikers may be better getting the Rover 35L.
This was purchased for a holiday to Hawaii in which much photography was anticipated, my priority for bag choice was compliance with airline carry-on baggage size limits, whilst having capacity for an SLR with 3 lenses, filters, and other accessories (the tripod had to be transported in hold baggage during the flights). This bag was just a tiny bit deeper than the official limit but squeezed down easily and gave me no problems.
It is a bright and modern design and in use I loved the ability to drop the shoulder straps and get fast and easy access to contents by rotating the bag around on the waist strap, meaning I was less prone to pushing a fitted lens to it's limits instead of swapping for the perfect item in the bag. This easy access also meant that I was less likely to remove the bag, and possibly take my eye off it when being drawn into a session of snapping. The closed main compartment access provided a flat surface on which items could be rested during lens or filter changes etc. The arrangement of having the main access against the body when being carried also provided protection from possible dipping etc.
My holiday included walks up mountains and across lava flows, the option of adding a hydration bladder to one of the side pouches made water easily available without stopping, this however, only had sufficient capacity for 1- Ltr, meaning that when additional water was needed, it took up one of the lens storage divisions or was attached to shoulder strap hardware with a small carabiner.
The other side pouch provided well designed, stable and convenient tripod carriage to and from sites of interest. Once again, the convenience meant that a tripod was always taken and frequently used.
Negative points and other concerns-
Very few, My equipment is Canon and I always carried the lens hoods for the 3 lenses, these are large in diameter and the compact dimensions of the bag meant that if stored reversed on the lens, they caused a little distortion of the internal divisions, meaning that a some thought had to go into their arrangement, or an additional division could be used to store these off lens.
The useful feature of access to the contents with the bag rotated downwards on the waist strap applies a kind of downwards tearing force to the upper points where the waist strap is stitched to the bag and I wonder if continued, frequent use of this feature while carrying heavy lenses etc would lead to eventual fraying. Two weeks of almost daily use hasn't revealed any damage but maybe some additional reinforcement could be included at the main stress points.
