Comments about Nikon Field Recon Optics Backpack (Realtree):
Bought this pack as a day-pack for hunting and outdoor photography. Comfortable as all heck. To test it out I used it on a hunting trip and carried all my optics, spotting scope, binos, range-finder and DSLR w/ Multiple lenses and tri-pod. Also also carried extra gear. Good thing, nightfall, weather and a sprained ankle 5 miles back into Adirondak Park turned trip into an unexpected overnighter. Thanks to all the room in the pack I had all the comforts and spent a cozy and comfy night. Didn't give 5 stars because haven't had it long enough to rate it for durability. Nikon and BlackHawk did a great job.
