A mesh side pocket keeps your water bottle or other items handy, or can hold a tripod or light stand using the side compression straps. The pack is carried by a high-tech harness system that consists of; padded shoulder straps that cushion against heavy photo gear, with additional support from load lifter straps and adjustable sternum strap. A split-contour waist belt with a bi-directional buckle cradles and comfortably transfers weight to your hips. It also has a comfort molded back panel that sheds snow and dirt while venting heat and moisture. A tuck-away rain fly offers protection against water.

Comments about Clik Elite Contrejour 35 Backpack (Blue):
I just used this pack to travel around Europe! It's a great pack, and organizes my gear well. I fit 4 lenses, two canon mark 3 bodies and two speedlights in there along with two sets of 4 cards, batteries etc. And then had a whole other compartment for my random stuff like a jacket, and other bags etc. It's great for travel and has great comfortable straps for walking around. It's also got a secure pocket for the gear so you don't have to worry about anyone unzipping the bag and stealing your gear while you're in a big crowd.

Comments about Clik Elite Contrejour 35 Backpack (Blue):
I bought this bag a couple months ago and feel that I have used it enough to give a fair review. I bought this pack specifically for a ski assignment that i was assisting with. I was following around the photographer on skis all day for week and a half, skiing some of the craziest lines in BC, and the bag stayed properly adjusted and felt comfortable the whole trip. The best thing about this bag is that it fits the body amazingly, it gave me the confidence to ski the same lines as the athletes. This bag offers superior protection to any other bag in its class that I have used without giving up a lot of weight. I have found that this bag is not limited to just ski photography, but can also be used as a hiking/trekking bag. If you are just going for a day trip and don't need to much equipment, this bag will do the job fine. the large compartment is plenty big enough for extra clothes, food, ETC... Conclusion: If you want a bag that fits the body well and gives you the ultimate protection for your hard earned gear, get this bag. Especially if your into ski/climbing photography ( i personally wouldn't consider anything else).

Comments about Clik Elite Contrejour 35 Backpack (Blue):
I have been a professional Landscape Nature Photographer since 1981 and have had to climb, ski, hike, snowshoe etc to get to my photo destinations. Till now, I have not found a pack thought out well to handle serious weight comfortably with easy access to my camera gear as well as ample room for my other gear such as clothing raingear hydration systems and other essential gear. I am really pleased with this system and wish I had it several years ago.

Comments about Clik Elite Contrejour 35 Backpack (Blue):
I am only giving this a four for now because I have not put the pack through it's paces.
That said, initial impressions are good. Solid construction and a good size without being bulky. I had questions on the size of the storage compartment, for other than camera equipment, and there is certainly enough room for a change of clothes.
The camera compartment is good size. I have three lenses, a 40D, flash and some odds and ends with plenty of room to go.
This backpack will hold a lot of camera gear and a decent amount of personal stuff. A small lap-top would fit in the storage area (it is not designed for that and there is no padding for a lap top).
This was a solid buy and the outdoor, non-bulky, camera backpack that I had been looking for.
