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.

 The fabric and its waterproof texture is amazing, also zippers quality are strong. Very very happy with this.

This is the best backpack I've ever had

6" laptop from work. The only issue I have with it so far is that the side zipper on the very front pocket is more catered to a person who wears the bag over his/her left shoulder. I put my work badge in that pocket and I shoulder the bag over to my right, so when I try to swing the bag over the front the zipper is pointed to the bottom, which makes it hard for me to pull out my badge without other things in that pocket falling out. Just wanted to point this out to people who shoulder the bag on the right

Great bag with one minor flaw for right handed folks

I'm 5'9" and 170lbs. I wear a 40R jacket. The padded part of the straps are far too short. The plastic buckles at the end of the padded part of the straps sits right in between my bicep and my chest

 I walked around my living room and had red scratch marks on both biceps, so this bag is getting returned.  Apart from the issue with the straps, it seems like a solid bag.

Straps way too short

 The water bottle holder also doesn't fit water bottles comfortably. Overall, this is a well made, sturdy bag, but didn't impress me much when it came to comfort or size. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

 I'm right handed and am used to swinging my bags around my right side to reach my keys, but because this pocket is on the left, it made it less convenient. Not a big thing, but still annoying when it came to my personal habits. The water bottle holder also doesn't fit water bottles comfortably.

Not My Favorite Bag

First things first, let’s take a look at this pack’s external pockets, starting with the large pocket on the front. We’ve been keeping the essentials like our keys, wallet, and a pair of headphones inside for easy grabbing-and-going while we’re on the move, and its bright liner makes everything inside easy to spot. We do wish the zipper for this pocket were on the opposite side, as we’re typically slinging bags around our right side when reaching inside, but your mileage may vary. 

The zippers on this pack have altogether been working smoothly during our testing. They have large, easy-to-grab pulls that help them zip and unzip with ease. This comes as no surprise, as they’re from YKK, which is a brand we have mostly positive experiences with (and a lot of them). We do have one small nitpick with the zippers around the main and laptop compartments that we’ll cover later in the review

At the very top of the bag is a thick handle with lots of padding that’s comfortable to grab and convenient for picking up the pack when you need to move it or get something out. It also features that same seat belt-like material you’ll find on the shoulder straps that’s nice and smooth in hand.

Now, we’re going to move into this pack’s front compartment. It opens up horseshoe-style and has some gusseted fabric on the sides, which allows you to get some nice visibility and access inside that you wouldn’t normally get with this kind of opening. 

Timbuk2 Authority Laptop Backpack (Deluxe) Review | Pack Hacker

Spontaneously bought this as a replacement for my daily wear, the Timbuk2 Showdown backpack. Absolutely love it, no buyer's remorse here! It has enough pockets for everything I need for both school and work. It's very comfortable to wear, and I like how you can secure the adjustable straps so the extra strap parts aren't flapping or dragging around.

Sooo in love

 This is going to be a fantastic option to check out and so to wrap up. It'S been a great experience, testing out the timbuk2 authority pack deluxe over the past month. The bag has been very comfortable to wear. It has a great build quality

 No sort of internal organization, but again just a great spot to kind of keep everything easy to find and then the last area that we're going to take a look at is the main compartment, and so this is a top loading bag. So it has the zipper here that opens up very nicely. It would have been nice to maybe have this zipper go all the way down similar to the quick access pocket that we saw a second ago. It was nice how this had a little bit of a wider opening, so you get a nice view

 Currently, what i have in here is my 13 inch macbook pro, but you can see how much space there's left over at the top, and i like that. The compartment is suspended off the bottom of the ground. So it feels like my device is going to be well protected if i happen to place my bag down a little bit harder so pulling my laptop out now with the compartment empty, you can get a better look at the inside, and so it comes up a Decent amount, so you should be able to fit a laptop, that's a little bit thicker, but i would worry about how tight the laptop would start to feel if you fill up the main area quite a bit, so not as spacious as some other laptop pockets and It would have been nice to have more of a fleece lining to help protect against scratching, but regardless with the amount of padding that you have here and the fact that it's suspended, it really feels like my device is going to be very well protected. While i'm running around throughout the day up next, we have a slightly larger admin pocket that has some nice internal organizational options

 So far, the bag has been really comfortable to wear. This is one of the biggest updates to the bag. Is this new system of strap that they have here? It has plenty of padding it's really thick and comfortable right out of the box and then on the inside. You can see it has these kind of ridges here that just provide a lot of extra padding and the material isn't quite as breathable as i would normally like to see

Timbuk2 Authority Laptop Backpack Deluxe Review - Comfortable 28L Work / EDC Backpack

 So about halfway down the bag, what i have inside of here is i've, got just my laptop a little keyboard and roost stand, so i'm able to fit all those uh kind of electronics. I'M just going to set them behind me here. All those electronics can fit into this compartment quite easily. Now this pocket is very padded, as you can see, it's kind of got the stitched reinforcement - and this is you know - pretty dense foam like it's very thick thick from here to here

 All those electronics can fit into this compartment quite easily. Now this pocket is very padded, as you can see, it's kind of got the stitched reinforcement - and this is you know - pretty dense foam like it's very thick thick from here to here. So there's a lot of padding, but one thing this laptop compartment, um isn't doing. The best on is a false bottom, there's a little bit of suspension here at the bottom, but not a ton

 Just checking real quick, it's very tight with another laptop in there in the back, but yeah pretty much just a big main compartment there, and then this back part is great because it holds up to a 17-inch laptop. So those durable ykk zippers opens up like horseshoe. So about halfway down the bag, what i have inside of here is i've, got just my laptop a little keyboard and roost stand, so i'm able to fit all those uh kind of electronics. I'M just going to set them behind me here

 So, if you're going to be riding your bike or something like that at night, it gives you a little bit of extra visibility. I like on this bag. It has more of a professional vibe, and you can see here that we have the compression straps down here at the bottom. So that's going to make the bag smaller, make it a little skinnier and give it a more professional look and i've got it pretty fully packed out just to show you how much we can get inside, but it really helps to thin it down if you'd, like So yeah just compression buckles here, just some duraflex hardware, if you like that uh you have elastic keepers here to manage the straps, which is really important for a bag
