[QUOTE="ajsorrell, post: 257875, member: 11626"] I'm looking for: Camera bag for 1 FULL day hike in rough terrain. Needs to support a water bladder, carry a tripod, some food, and plenty of gear (D600 w battery grip, 70-200 f2.8, and a few other lenses). A laptop sleeve would be a bonus because then it could replace my international travel bag. I'm not a big guy (5'8" 160 lbs) so ergonomics, balance, and weight are important to me. Suggestions??? I've looked at the Lowepro Trekker 400AW and the reviews are good but I want to see more options. Only downside for me was no quick side pocket to get the camera out. I've also looked at some of the Clik bags but get overwhelmed with their website. More about my situation: I have come to realize, I can't live with just 1 (or 2) camera bags because my use for them varies too much. I primarily shoot around town and for that my Slingshot 302AW works great. I can easily access my gear and it will work with my BlackRapid Strap. Only complaint is that after a full day, my shoulder starts to tire and its even worse if you carry a tripod because the load is off balance. I have taken it on full day hikes on the Great Wall or through some mountains and I end up hand carrying it after a while to take the strain off my shoulder and back. Its also more difficult to carry enough water in the pack for a full day hike. [/QUOTE]
