I also purchased a Capture Clip from Peak Designs which allows you to fix the camera to the shoulder strap in place while hiking – a great addition to this pack. 

 A small hole developed in one of the side waterbottle pockets but I can take resposibility for that when I shoved the tip of my trekking pole in there. 

Important: Choose the Adventure or Athlete hip belt – otherwise you will have literally no padding on your hips. I don’t recommend using the bag without a hipbelt either. The Adventure belt is more comfortable as it provides two layers of foam padding and a wider webbing and buckle – it’s also bigger and bulkier.

Even with the camera compartment loaded the back pannel is comfy and I never feel any of the gear inside digging into my back.

 It goes all the way down in the front here, so you reach all the way down into the front of the bag. Right here, there's my hand going all the way in some more dry dry packs, so you can stuff clothes and things all the way down there. It'S got a little laptop sleeve right here in the front it might be hard to see, but you can slide your laptop in there and it sits against the cube, so it stays stays flat and it doesn't kind of jostle around and then here's the frame. So there's the steel frame i was talking about - and this is the large frame and you'll see it goes to here

 You can see that so there's the sizing for the large frame there's the sizing for the medium frame. Now it will fit under uh under an airline seat as it is in the large frame and will also fit in the overhead. You can just put the medium frame in if you want it to be even a little bit smaller [ Applause ] additional pouch on the inside. It goes to there additional molle webbing and then a nice little spot for your name here, more straps on the inside

 There are also spots here to put in a smaller frame a medium frame. I think this is the large frame you can retrofit this pack to be a medium frame, and the medium frame goes right right here. You can see that so there's the sizing for the large frame there's the sizing for the medium frame. Now it will fit under uh under an airline seat as it is in the large frame and will also fit in the overhead

 We'Ve got this nice mesh here, but then there's also some ribs. That kind of raise that you know to allow for some more airflow, which i think is really nice, these pockets, which you can pop out [ Applause ] and have extra little pockets here that you can put lenses in things like that. I mentioned lens pouches earlier. In fact, let me grab one of these, so i own several of these pouches, which are the think tank pouches

Best Camera Backpack for 2022 - Atlas Packs Athlete Backpack

 Is this bag just cinches down into a much smaller footprint, because there's a lot of bags out there? It'S a 40 60 liter pack, whatever it is, you might only have 15 or 20 liters in the bag or maybe only you're, only using a quarter of its carry capacity, but the footprint of the bag or main is the same so that be able to have A pack that can really kind of switch squish down into a smaller footprint to me is everything, that's a very, very good quality, so just to jump right into it. Of course, this is the the yellow version. This is the also the tall version it comes in a regular size and I'm 6 foot 2, so that the tall version works perfect for me and just right on the outside, you have these straps up here, so you can strap really any additional items. You would like to it there's also a pocket whoops right here on the front

 Alice is a great job with the the comfortable comfort ability of their harness system and their waist belt, and you might be noticing something no words the waist belt with this. What'S what is fantastic Atlas gives you the option that you can take it on or off. It'S up to you and they make great West waist belts very meaty. There'S a lot of material here, a lot of a lot of substance and durability, so they're very good at the waist belts

 I just want to talk about this real quick on the the back panel. It'S kind of got like a rib design and it is very comfortable and it's got like kind of exaggerated lumbar area right here, which makes carrying this bag very comfortable and in the waist belt, actually tucks right back in here. Let me actually show you on the other bag, so they sent me to. This is a athlete pack and black, but what's different is this one is the regular version

 You have another little stretchy area. Here goes all the way to the bottom: a couple zipper pockets here you could put SD cards or batteries or remote shutters or whatever you like there and that's the the camera compartment.

 (It’s the only pack here without a hipbelt, but you can buy one for $8 and 1.1 more ounces.) The narrow pack shape keeps loads from shifting, though one tester did report some barreling with a large bear can. The Curve Fast-Track-Pack also boasts more pockets than most packs in its weight class: two mesh side pockets, a unique, easy-access trash pocket along the pack’s base, two shoulder-strap pockets, and a mesh shove-it pouch add another 10 liters to the 35-liter main packbag

Model: 35L Curve Fast-Track-Pack     What’s in a name? With LiteAF, everything you need to know. The brand’s frameless Curve Fast-Track-Pack is the lightest pack we tested, but its cushy shoulder straps still serve up all-day comfort for loads up to 20 pounds.

 He said that he has not regretted the LiteAF bag he purchased which has the best shoulder straps of any pack he has tried. He said a lot of other packs the straps dig into his shoulders and the width and generous padding of LiteAF make them superior to all others. He replaced his HMG with it. I have not tried a LiteAF pack myself though so take all this with a grain of salt as it is a completely second-hand anecdotal experience

I'm not tall or beefy-bodied. So I'm going to just relay what my tall, lankier friend with relatively wide shoulders recommended. He said that he has not regretted the LiteAF bag he purchased which has the best shoulder straps of any pack he has tried. He said a lot of other packs the straps dig into his shoulders and the width and generous padding of LiteAF make them superior to all others

I’m planning to switch to a frameless pack this summer and wanted to ask the general consensus of which packs have the most robust shoulder straps that work for those of us with broad shoulders and a little meat on their bones. For reference, I’m 6’2” and 230. 

The Zerk keeps coming up in searches as having nice shoulder straps. Any others I should look at?

Beefy shoulder straps for beefy bodies

 My BW will be right around 10 pounds and I imagine that’s light enough for good comfort. Any comments on the pack and especially the newer one with Ultra 200 would be greatly appreciated! I’m also comparing it against the Palante Desert Pack.

I’m trying to get my gear into UL territory and need a new pack. I’m strongly considering the LiteAF 35L curve/Fast Track and was hoping someone on here can give feedback on it? I haven’t been able to find many reviews on it. My BW will be right around 10 pounds and I imagine that’s light enough for good comfort.

 Hopefully this comes out. You can see that the thickness of the waymark strap is less than a half an inch, and then you come over to the light af. You have three quarters three quarters of an inch, so it's thicker slightly wider. This one is going on two and three quarters on the light af and two and a half two and a half on the way mark just trying to get some precise measurements here

[, Music ] - all right, i'm really going out on a limb here about to cross over to the point of no return on the far left side is a curve by light af, it's a atex ghost camo dyneema and in the middle is dyneema black and on The far right side we have a waymark mile, the mile pack and here's my dilemma. I grabbed the mile to test out its x-pac material and i really like many of the features on it and when it arrived, and i compared the straps from the waymark to the light. Af is a clear difference in these packs and this obviously showcased still the superiority of light af's. Shoulder harness

 I will remove this seam. These two pin points and take the way mark, strap out and then the light af harness will go right down in there. So i think, there's actually less damage happen on the way mark in the ldf, and that kills me that i'm doing this, it's uh kind of a devastating moment. I'M set here and i've debated it, debated it and debated it

 I will actually remove this seam. Take this out on this side. I will remove this seam. These two pin points and take the way mark, strap out and then the light af harness will go right down in there

Here’s why I took a machete to my LiteAF curve backpack.

 They fixed it and they shipped it back out to me on the very same day, that's kind of incredible now i'll tell you that i have a pack from zpax and i think that they also have excellent customer service where a mouse chewed through my front pocket Uh, almost two years later, i shipped it back to them. They replaced the front pocket for free and they shipped it back to me. However, the difference is one day, z packs a month and a half so excellent customer service. Very quick as well

 If you order from light af uh you put in the discount code hunter 10, you can get 10 percent off your order from light af. So my pack came in before shipping with the fanny pack and all the other items on here for about 340, and you know it was a little bit more for the shippy. So if you want a little bit cheaper enter that 110 discount code. Okay enough with the features let's get on to it, do you like the pack or do i not like the pack, i'm going to tell you the pros of the pack, one of the pros you may think, i'm crazy but 382 or with the code down to 344 is actually a pretty good deal for a dyneema ultra lightweight custom backpack, my backpack before this was from zpax and if you geared out with all the options, a similar pack which actually isn't even dyneema, it comes in at about four hundred and forty dollars, which Is about a hundred dollars more than you get this pack with that discount code, so 382 dollars a lot of money, but it's still a good deal when you order this pack you're ordering it from a small cottage vendor it's made in the united states, new jersey, Specifically and the company is run by a guy named chris and chris used to make all of the backpacks himself, i'm not sure if he still does that, but he has a tremendous amount of pride in the quality of the craftsmanship in these backpacks and i'm sure, If somebody else is helping him make the backpacks he's looking over them like a hawk and you're gon na get a excellent piece of work, if you're still nervous about spending three or four hundred dollars on a backpack one of the things that may help you relax A little bit is knowing that light

 Okay around on the back side of the pack inside of the pack, there are two removable uh curved aluminum stays. This is the frame, so you can take those out if you want a frameless pack or you want it a little bit lighter the thing that i like about these stays is i'm coming from uh a zpax ark hall and that our call has the uh little Poles that you have to arc every time you put on your packer after you fill it up and is a pain in the butt. So i like having something that is less fuss and a lot easier to use now. Also inside of the pack here to soften things on your back, there's a quarter inch thick closed foam pad here so that helps soften it

 On your back, let's talk about the hip belt and the shoulder straps. The hip belt is a four inch wide padded hip belt on the front. It actually has two straps uh by the buckle and that allows you to adjust the angles a little bit better, so it rides on your hips better and is more comfortable. The shoulder straps are a three inch wide padded s-shaped shoulder strap a lot of backpacks are in a j shape, i'm not going to go into the details
