Customer reviews

You get what you pay for...
Fist off, this isn't a horrible bag...it's just not a great one. I bought it because I wanted a cheap backpack for my D80. It's a small bag, so things are cramped inside. But it's lightweight and fairly comfortable. Overall, I'd probably recommend this backpack to someone like me who just wanted something inexpensive.

Pros: Cheap, lightweight, small, seems well made, looks pretty good, CHEAP.

Cons: Cramped quarters, frustrating zippers

Great for short hikes or just storage
I've used this pack for about 2 months. I've taken it on a long hike (not so good..read below), a short hike (worth it), and a car trip (good). Good: Great price! The comparments are good size and easily adjustable based on your needs. Cons: It really doesn't work for hiking because of the stiffness and the backpack doesn't breath well. I wouldn't recommend it if you want to get the camera out quickly because the zippers sometimes get stuck on the flaps. However, if you want something for just a quick trip to the beach or a car ride, this is great.
