Atlas Packs Athlete vs lowepro flipside 400 aw iii

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 mig...

I think the measurement may not be as much to blame as is the rigidity of the material it is made compared to that of the Slingshot material. The material is very durable and high quality, but doesn't give much which leads me to believe that it may just need some time to break in. Lastly, my final concern is regarding the tripod holder. The tripod holder is too small to hold a professional tripod comfortably

1-2 Days - sort of between bags right now waiting for things to come in but was using a MR x Carryology Unicorn or GR1 26L.

The bag carries a lot but still feels compact on your back and is not bulky like the AW Rover that bangs every seat down an airplane aisle even when you've cinched up the waist belt and maneuver around to avoid banging into seats. This one is compact enough that it stays in the aisle even when wearing it on one shoulder. The waist belt and harness are very comfortable for not having cinch straps at the top and it pulls the bag to your back nice and tight when you have the chest strap on. Btw, they use a rail that the chest strap slides up and down for adjustment instead of gliding on the shoulder strap

If you want stuff that needs to stay absolutely dry, this is a well protected area for your important documents and things like that. This bag has bee...

Bought theLowepro DMC-Z accessory wallet as it had the ability to readily attach to the backpack's shoulder straps via their SlipLock system, and it worked. There's a hand grab handle on the top, quite useful if one is unloading it from a car, or traveling by air or train. The waist belt is highly adjustable, and all of the nylon plastic fastening hardware is of reasonably good quality, and in use weight seems to be distributed quite well. It's a comfortable and stable pack while in use

They both feature this top flap drawstring top system and then they both have space down in front of the box that actually holds the camera gear and s...

The issue came when I went to zip the compartment back up, it didn't want to work. I had to lift the pack almost full vertical before the zippers would work. Not sure how Lowepro would get around this issue. The front of the pack has a storage compartment that could use some attention
