 All Atlas Packs are engineered for comfort and flexibility, with an overbuilt harness system and a patent-pending Origami camera core.

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.

The Ultimate Photography Backpack - My Atlas Athlete Pack Review - Chris Eyre-Walker Photography

 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. I just want to talk about this real quick on the the back panel.

AER City Pack 14L: Watch at 10:15 mark for laptop fit: [URL REMOVED] X-CASE - 3-Way Brief Pack Watch this review at 2:00 mark for 17" laptop fit: [URL REMOVED] newest model (current year) Northface surge. Watch this review at 5:00 mark for laptop fit : [URL REMOVED] can tell the current model from the two large front pockets that look like the Mandalorian from Star Wars, or purchase from REI or North Face directly.

I need a work-approved backpack to fit a 17” laptop. For context, I’m a female nurse practitioner and the laptop given to me for work is making it difficult to find a bag suitable for my needs. I don’t want a tote because they kill my shoulders. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Budget is preferably &lt;$300. Thanks!

Backpack to fit 17” laptop

So for past thru-hikers, have you noticed this type of thing being an issue and would it be worth it to bring something like that mentioned extension to mitigate the situation? If so, any other lighter suggestions. If not, perhaps this is just an unwarranted concern. I just want to verify before I decide on a 30w power brick.

Thru-hike charging question - what is your experience with outlet availability and surge protectors on a thru hike (PCT but I'm sure it's similar on others). I'm trying to decide on a 30w charging setup for my powerbank and am wondering if it's worth the weight to carry something like [this]([URL REMOVED] -  an ungrounded 1ft 2 prong extension cord.

, But anything worth doing is going to be jam packed to the brim with other people and expensive as hell to boot.  Impossible to find parking, take an Uber and guess what?  Surge pricing - $150 to get you 5-6 miles, which also takes 45 minutes because traffic.  Try to walk and you're getting mugged.   Moved 600 miles away after marrying and having a child, and it was the best decision I've ever made

A couple days in San Francisco.

 Best laptop compartment I've ever had on a pack (false bottom, separate compartment). 

Another point deducted for comfort as well on the surge. Definitely meant for taller people (I'm 5'8")

Hello everybody, I'm looking for anew backpack that needs to have a certain amount of characteristic but I can't decide where to go, hope someone of you could help me out on this...

Coming right to it, main features I would love are:

* Lighter as possible, don't really care about toughness or protection
* Water bottle holders at both sides
* Dedicated laptop compartment (not necessarily big, 15-inch would be enough) + another compartment near that to put a tablet/ereader
* Main compartment separated from laptop. Just big without any organization
* Small multiple organization compartments at the front
* quick access compartment at the front

So ideally I would love a 3 compartments + a quick access backpack. A part for the laptop and main compartment, the more small organization pockets the best it is for me

The only thing that I found close the that is the North face Surge, which is simply awesome... it has everything I just listed but I read many reviews complaining about the build quality and also about the actual space inside, mainly saying that the main compartment is not that big

I'd like to ask if you have any suggestion similar to that (or if I should just reconsider the surge lol)

Thank you all!

Backpack suggestions/advice (similar to TNF surge)

I briefly had a Recon for a year or two after purchasing it with a specific task in mind in 2015. I figured I’d really like the front pouch and the valuables pocket, but I was wrong on both mainly due to size. Both were significantly smaller then I’d thought they’d be, especially compared to the valuables pocket on my Surge. So it got sold

I'm looking for the ideal travel/comuter/hiking daypack. 

Yes I know I could get multiple packs but I only have money in the budget for one. This pact would primarily be used for bike commuting to and from work with the occasional plane trip and fairly regular day hike. My aim is a solid pack that can kinda do it all. Ultimately this is going to end up as my daily tourism/travel day bag when I visit Australia for a month early next year so it'll be out and about holding my daily gear as well as a small camera then. 


Please note that I'm not looking for suggestions for other packs. I've settled mainly between these two for their capacity and features.

Trying to decide between the Borialis, the 2021 Recon and the Surge 2

 The Porter 46 is a carryon and the Black Hole counts as a personal bag. Bags are carried like a sandwich, one on the back, one on the front. More comfortable than you would think and also balances the weight. You look like a stereotypical backpacker from a mile away, but it's only when moving around

My non-minimal onebag(ish) packing list

The surge 2021 looks good too but the shoulder straps look like they will fall appart in 2 months.

The covrt18 2.0 had the “this the one” effect on me but it doesn’t seem that big and I am not sure if it can hold my laptop (Acer Helios 300 which is rather bulky)

5.11 Covrt18 2.0 or TNF Surge 2021?

, It sure, is a fucking relief. This game doesn't have responsiveness issues with those., Also the act of actually overloading them just requires you to stand still and hold down the use use key until they just sort of flaccidly fall. Apart

 There'S no rush.. As for everyone else, don't worry. There are only a few more events that are big enough to bother bringing up

 It'S been a minute., Well whatever., When I was talking about the way this game feels. I specifically talked about the way it controls

An Actual Review of The Surge

I don't know about any of you, but I find something about familiarity to be extremely comforting,

and I'm sure none of you will be surprised to hear that nothing gives me that good ol' familiar feeling

quite like being halfway done with a review and realizing that I'm pouring well over a month

of my life into talking about a game seventeen people cared about when it was released,

and maybe three still will by the time. I've actually finished writing about it.

No, Prey was released two whole weeks ago!

There's no way anyone would listen to a review of that by the time you'd finish working on it.

It's not like there's already a precedent that proves otherwise, right here on your own channel.

Bitterness aside, I'd like to take a second to congratulate The Surge,

because we haven't even started the actual review yet, and you've already managed to impress me.

After all, making me feel like spending a month reviewing ReCore

was a smart use of my time is no small feat.

It sure is a shame you seem to have decided to stop there.

Joke's on you, I was bitter the whole time.

The Surge is a pseudo open-world third-person sci-fi action RPG with a focus on grinding,

exploration, discovery, and combat developed by Deck13 Interactive.

A German studio best known for co-developing—

You got a warrant? Stop looking over there.

It's also a game that I found incredibly challenging to critique, beause in addition to being very difficult

to care about, its single most defining flaws the way that it feels to play.

And it's a bit hard to really nail down what makes a game feel bad,

particularly when your IQ is lower than your heightened yards.

I guess it would make the most sense to start with the way it controls, given that it's a bit of an undertaking

to make anything feel good when combat controls like you're just shouting suggestions

Now that I think about it the problems with the way this game controls rear their ugly heads

Which is actually somewhat impressive, considering the way this game unceremoniously dumps you

into the first combat arena before you have time to properly lower your expectations.

Movement in general is just kind of clunky and awkward, it almost feels like the player controller is somewhat

off-set, as if you aren't actually controlling the character himself, but rather the area surrounding him.

Which I guess could be the technical explanation for why random objects explode when you touch them

But hey, who knows? Maybe there's an in-universe explanation that I'm just missing here

buried under several layers of obscure Wiki pages and speculative blog posts that detail

the microscopic nanite quantum shockwaves given off by the electron module of your combat rig.

It's my fault for not looking into it really.

Actually, on the subject of obscure wordpress blogs and Wiki pages,

I'd like to take a minute to derail myself entirely and talk about the game's story.

More specifically, about the way that it's told.

The overarching "plot" of Warren fighting his way through the Creo facility in order to figure out

what happened is told fairly traditionally through scripted story events and interactions

with other survivors via branching dialogue trees.

Specifically the form of branching dialogue trees and quotes you could brain a mech with,

where the only meaningful choice you can possibly make is to skip them entirely.

Take it from me, I sat through every dialogue option and you're not really not missing much.

Essentially every single character can more or less be summed up by prefacing a noun with the word

The supporting characters are all forgettable, sub one-dimensional, and boring.

And as a result talking to them is time that could be better spent doing just about anything else.

Speaking of sudden segways, let's talk about the game's actual story for a minute,

because unlike the characters you encounter, there's actually a thing to say about it.

The game opens with you, Warren, riding on a tram to start your new job at a facility owned and operated

by a futuristic technology manufacturer by the name of Creo.

On the tram ride you're treated to a video assuring you that they definitely absolutely totally care about you

and your well-being, and are the last bastion of hope for humanity. So if it wasn't clear enough by the

overwhelmingly evil facility or the fact that a video game is going to happen at some point, you should probably

realize from this that Creo is evil and that shit is about to go haywire.

After the tram stops, you finally gain control of your character and it's revealed that you're actually

Which shook me to my carbon-enriched core because it was both a nice reveal

and an example of 'show don't tell' done well in a video game.

Sure, I sort of predicted it based on the weird first-person floating the camera the game stuck me in

but there are games sold entirely on their stories that don't understand how to do that sort of thing.

Hell, there are games where characters spend the majority of the runtime explaining their personalities

to one another who still come across as unclear and muddled. Meanwhile 'upper body strength' over here

hasn't opened his mouth a single time and I feel like I at least have some understanding of who he is, and why

he'd so willingly ignore all the glowing neon warning signs in order to pursue a job at this death factory.

There are even smaller mechanical details that play into it, like how the camera being so low to the ground

helps the player empathise with Warren feeling small and vulnerable.

And how he might look up at the security officer with in-built dishwasher sentry

that he too could one day leave wine glasses shining and spotless.

It's a great setup for a character-driven story about regret, loss, misplaced trust in the dangers of human desperation.

So it sure would be a shame if this entire segment had fuck all to do with the rest of the game, wouldn't it?

This segment is immediately followed by a brutal cutscene of Warren getting his exosuit

drilled unto his body while he's fully conscious until he blacks out from the pain,

and the game dumps you into the first combat arena and says "fuck you, fight these drones."

I'm not even exaggerating, you go from train station to character torture to player torture

in the space of two minutes and four seconds, I fucking timed it.

if you're going to have an introduction lead into an in-media res you should at the very least make

the introduction relevant if you don't want it to wind up being both jarring and pointless.

I mean, unless, you enjoy being obnoxiously condescended to by pictures of owls on the internet

who have never made a video game in their entire life, in which case, go hogwild.

From here on in this story has nothing to do with Warren outside of the fact that he's the dope running around

braining ex-employees the metal rod trying to figure out what's going on.

Which is good because the game only blew its storytelling load on making him emphatetic,

After the power surge that sent everything fuckside the remainder of the game shifts focus from Warren

to the current state of the planet and the company of Creo itself. And as we explore more and more

of the facility it's steadily revealed that even before everything broke down Creo were operating well

outside the law, morality, and ethics under the justification that it was in the interest of humanity's
