A waxed canvas / oilskin camera bag in a well thought out rucksack format that works exceptionally well. This bag has to perform for me like a piece of hardened bushcraft gear, with a degree of water repellancy. So far it has done exactly that on mountain trails and coastline alike and it is a bag designed by someone who absolutely understands the demands of harsher outdoor weather for a photograper. The best features are: - A companion can unzip the bag while I wear it and select a lens without me needing to take it off. Essential for fast partner work. - The waxed water repellency is excellent in the rain - The hardwearing material, and the stitching is excellent - Modifiable internal structure - Back comfort and ventilation while carrying 7 lenses and a camera body My only niggles are: - The zips for a bag of this type should be YKK with water sealing. The current zip is durable, but not sealed. - The internal compartment is aimed at larger DSLR or crop sensor size medium format lenses. I shoot with exceptionally small M-Mount lenses which dislodge from the internal compartment from time-to-time and tend to travel in the bag. Something to be aware of for people shooting on rangefinder systems or other smaller, compact systems. I popped into Cotswold Hipster and met the owners for a great chat (and to buy more bags!). Mark even re-waxed my bag for me, which I greatly appreciated the next day at a very rainy Black Country Museum. I trust this bag to keep my lenses dry; not many bags can make that claim, be as versatile, be as durable or be so easy to use even in inclement weather and mud trails. My gear goes through an absolute battering, and I need the bag to be battered more than anything else - especially its contents. If you're an outdoor photographer you NEED this bag.
