Q: 2. What does the 4.2 stand for? Besides size (dimensions), is there much difference between this Kinesis Safarisack and the 1.4 Safarisack?

A: The 4.2 is the volume of filler (in liters) for the large bag. The 1.4 bag has a volume of 1.4 liters. So, the 4.2 is about 2 1/2 times bigger than a 1.4. I have both and the 1.4 is a bit small for long lenses or folding in half over a car window or fence rail.tree branch but very handy for a flexible support with smaller lenses.
