[Green] Been using the small 20L version for my lightweight setup. The roll top allows me to even go for a weekend with clothes and cameras in a small package. The material has been durable for the 6 months or so I’ve had it, still looks new.

My only complaints are that the water bottle holder is pretty tight but that also allows for secure storage of any other small item you throw in that spot, so I make work. For a larger medium size bag I have the Tenba Axis and that is great as well.

[Yes] It is an awesome bag! It fits the 1DX vertically, just what I was looking for!

[Yes] I was looking for a backpack that was comfortable can withstand the elements and protect all the gear inside. I came across a YouTube video review of it and loved it almost immediately. I'm very picky and specific when it comes to tech and gear and this bag checks all the boxes except for one, but definitely not a deal-breaker. I only wish it had a dedicated tablet sleeve along with the laptop sleeve instead of the foam ground cover. I can fit both in the one sleeve but would prefer to not have them laying on top of each other. Aside from that the bag is perfect. The X PAC material is wonderful as I plan to be in many different weather environments. The sleek form factor is wonderful and the depth and side access are marvelous. I really like the expanded roll top space for whatever I need it to be. It's strangely lightweight despite all the gear and feels really nice.
It's hard to find the best backpack for one's needs and this backpack is the one for me. I plan to stick with this backpack for a long time as it covers my daily use and travel use. I will definitely keep an eye on Compagnon products as they fit my style. Great backpack

[Yes] The Compagnon WEEKENDER GEN-III is possibly the best designed and constructed leather camera bag available today. Its intelligently engineered and ruggedly constructed and should easily withstand years of heavy use. It's a quantum improvement over any of the half dozen technical nylon bags I've owned and to my eyes it looks so much better.

I was able to position the internal padded dividers to provide 13 compartments. I carry two R5 bodies, two 580EX-II speedlites and four to six medium to large lenses (easily holds my EF 70-200 f/2.8 with RF adapter). The vertical depth of this bag accommodates lenses up to 11 inches long positioned face-down. Also can hold a sturdy 18.5 inch travel tripod internally. The two outer zippered pockets are about 7 X 7 inches each, and can hold objects up to two inches thick. They easily hold all the spare batteries, filters, cables, chargers, back-up drives and memory cards one would ever need, and then some.

However, the available space in this bag can create the temptation to carry much more stuff than you really need for most shoots. It can also result in a bag so heavy that you would not want to carry it more than a few hundred steps. This bag weighs about 7.4 lbs empty (with shoulder strap) and it can easily carry another 25 to 35 lbs of gear. It takes some serious self-restraint to not want to include stuff that you might not use but want to have available just in case.

This is a deluxe camera bag worthy of transporting the best photographic gear and it will probably outlast any of that gear, as well as its original owner if its fine leather construction is given appropriate care. Clean and wax it at least once a year and it should last for many decades. It smells nice too!

[Universal] I am a very picky buyer and I have tried more than 20+ backpacks so far in the last 6 months. My search is over. I have finally found a bag that is designed really well and is made of top notch quality. While the price may be on the top end, you get what you pay for. This is a much better backpack than the new Shimoda Explore V2. Love this backpack.

[Green] First the quality of this bag is on a different level from most other camera bags I have owned. It feels lighter than the specs suggest and while it looks like a medium sized bag it swallowed up my gfx kit and had room to shove an AD400 in before I even started playing with the roll top. One point to note are the support strap clips in the rear opening, they do always get in the way of closing the zipper, small nit but it is there.

[Yes] I wanted a bag that could fit my Pentax 67 plus an extra lens, and my Nikonf2 plus an extra lens. This bag does a great job of carrying both and I still have plenty of space for my sx70 and other accessories.
