Backpack With Clear Front

[Glass] Very well built... Solid.. Always stays clear. I have accidentally touched the front of this filter but nothing was left on the filter. Must have a coating on it that repels water, fingerprints, etc. It is absolutely clear with no color affect. You can add filters to it such as UV or CPL if you wish to it's threaded front. Highly recommended.

[Yes] This is my favorite camera backpack for family vacations. It is not large but fits what I need perfectly. On one side I have the Camera (Canon R6 II + 70-200mmL). On the other side the strap and another small lens (50mm or 24-100mm). Front small pocket - rain cover (used it, it is great, has the logo on it, and protects the bag very well) and small things I need. Middle larger pocket - sunglasses, wallet, gloves, wool hat, etc. Rear pocket - passports and other documents, one or two small umbrellas. If you need a tablet and/or small laptop it will fit there as well (but then no umbrellas). The black sleeves (front and two sides) are also useful. You can easily insert water bottles on both sides and a book or documents in the front sleeve. The straps and back support systems are very well-made and very comfortable.

[Yes] I have the older version of this backpack, without the extra zippered pocket on the front. I have had it for almost four years now, and it has been with me everywhere. There are minimal signs of wear, and even those are in unproblematic places. I manage to fit my Nalgene in the side pocket, and carry a lot of things in this small bag. The pockets are great, it is simple, and extremely durable. I highly recommend.

[Aluminum] Great bag and works well over the shoulder or slung over both to the front in addition to my backpack filled with field audio gear.

[Yes] It's a great backpack. Very comfortable and well built. I really like the accessory tabs on the front. I use two 18 velcro cable ties around them. Then, I attach various belt system cases to the velcro straps.

I have had this backpack for almost a year and have brought it on trips to Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala, and all over the US so far. The backpack has held up great through visits to the beach, walks in the drizzle, bumpy bus rides, long walks around cities and everything in between. I love the safe computer case for bringing my laptop with me and the hip and shoulder straps make it easy to adjust the carrying style to the weight and length of the walk. Before buying I had read some concerns about the zipper durability but have experienced no issues on this front, and the main zippers still glide as smooth as they did when brand new. I did lose the two very handy external carry-straps at the airport, and wish there was a more secure way to hold these to the bag, but it was easy to replace them through the PeakDesign website. Sometimes the location of the main opening vs the front pouch can make it a little awkward to access items without flipping the bag over, but I believe this would happen with any suitcase style opening backpack. Size-wise, the backpack is excellent. I have more than enough space inside for what I need, and plenty of options to ties onto the outside if needed (fishing rod, ukelele, jackets, wet clothes, dirty soccer cleats, etc.). All in all, very happy with the backpack. I recommend it to each of my friends looking for a single travel bag

[0.19 lb] I purchased one of these covers several years ago (2013), put it in a backpack and never used it. I recently found another excellent use for it. This (medium) cover is large enough and being water resistant works extremely well as a winch cover on the front of a Jeep Wrangler JL. The factory bumper provides little clearance with the grill so a rigid cover will not fit. This cover can be installed by tucking it around the sides (ends) and the front of the winch and with two 32 bungee cords, one over the top and one on the front of the winch hold it in place. It beads water and after two years has not faded. Highly recommended as a winch (and backpack) cover for the price.

[Stainless Steel] Love these. I use them with their reporter straps th carry my holster camera bag on the front my backpacks. I also get a cheap web belt to secure the camera bag to my body so it doesn't flop when I'm hiking. These hook onto the shoulder straps on the backpack to remove weight from on the neck and onto the backpack. The clips make it quick and easy to remove camera bag from backpack.

[Yes] I have been wishing for something like this for years. The Chestvest allows one to carry extra things on an airplane without taking up the under seat space or the overhead bin. For a recent trip, it was home to 2 sets of Rode Lavalier microphones, an extra lens, spare batteries, an ND filter, two camera lights, business cards, passport, a fold-up white balance disc, memory cares, a 1 Tbyte solid disk drive, and more. This gave me more room in my backpack for other equipment. As importantly, when out in the field, all these things were easily accessible. No hunting through my backpack as they were right in front of me. And going through customs was a dream, as my passport and ticket were in my front pocket. Heck, I even had my sunglasses in a pocket. It appears like it is made to last. It is adjustable. I am 5'10 and 160 pounds and it fit well. When bending over, the straps would occasionally fall but I attribute that more to my slim build and that I didn't have them tightened as tight as they could be. Even when the straps fell, the pack remained around my waist. My raincoat fit around it, which provided extra protection (although it is well protected from the elements). This is a must-have for my kit and I highly recommend it to anyone who travels and needs to carry a lot of stuff and doesn't want to check it with the airlines. Finally, it provides a nice resting spot for one's hands when sitting on a long flight.

[Yes] This adapter allows me to install my pd Capture Clip, which is attached to the bottom of my Sony A7III camera, to my Manfrotto befree GT Carbon Tripod. When I’m not using the tripod I can attach my camera via this clip to the front of my backpack for easy hiking. When I see a landscape shot I want to take, now I can easily remove my camera from the front of my backpack, and attach it to my tripod. When I'm done, it's an easy transfer back. Installation was a breeze. I just unscrewed a screw, took off old adapter, put on this new adapter, and screwed it in with same screw.
