The large Haven Camera Pouch from Crumpler is a well-padded and very portable way to carry around your photo gear. This pouch is designed to fit a DSLR twin lens kit and flash or full frame body and lens. This unique approach to a bag combines the benefits of a traditional shoulder bag with the benefits of a high-quality camera pouch.
Contained within the relatively small frame of the Haven, is a quick opening water-resistant housing that includes movable touch fastened dividers and draw string closure. The main compartment can be configured to suit whatever gear you are carrying. The exterior has five mesh pockets that will hold batteries, filters, memory cards or other small items such as a cable or lens cap. When closed, the top folds inward and locks via its draw string closure providing excellent protection for the contents. Backed by its lifetime guarantee, The Crumpler Haven is well-named since it offers maximum portability and the smallest footprint required to hold your gear.
Note! The exterior mesh pockets are not water-resistant

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Large, Gray/Green):
This camera pouch serves as an organizer & protector from other gear that I put in my backpack. I find it more versatile than having a dedicated camera bag because I can just move it to a new activity bag and know my camera is still protected. It would have been nice if there was a clip for a strap to attach because I would feel fine using it as a bag on its own in a pinch or when I'm not going very far.

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Large, Gray/Green):
This bag has effectively turned my run-of the mill, unnoticeable backpack into a safe place to put my DSLR, extra lens, and flash.
For me the dedicated camera bag is never a good idea, as I always then have 2 bags to carry instead of just one.
The compartments have velcro-attached dividers that you can move around as required, very handy. The cinch top closes well - the outside pockets are of limited value imho.
Overall Highly recommended.

Stylish insert used inside a backpack.
Not nearly as well padded as lead to believe.

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Large, Gray/Green):
Fits my Rebel t3i with 50mm lens plus hood and 70-300mm telephoto, with room for a flash. the top doesn't close completely so it's only water resistant if water comes at it from the sides or bottom, which should be fine if you have it inside a backpack like I did. Front pockets (which are uncovered) are good for battery pack, a cord extra memory. good overall, easy enough to access, and great if you have a bag you want to use and just want to slip this puppy in.

I love that I can put this into a large purse, a messenger bag, or a backpack. It's got plenty of cushions, and is well made. Fits my Nikon D7000 with 50mm lens, a 90mm lens, and there's room for a flash (when I finally buy it).

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Large, Gray/Green):
I put the pouch inside a regular school backpack to protect my camera unobtrusively when I in urban environments. It seems well made and works as advertised but I would want an even larger size. When I walk around with my D3s and 28/300 zoom mounted, it all fits, but too snug to easily remove and replace my gear. I can do it, but if a larger size comes out, I will trade up.

Comments about Crumpler Haven Camera Pouch (Large, Gray/Green):
It fits tightly in my Timbuk2 messenger bag in the wide open central compartment, and is surprisingly stiff and sturdy so I know my camera is safe in there. A warning: this large size will make you want to carry more stuff with your messenger bag than is comfortable (ow... back pain).
As a Micro 4/3rds owner it allows me to stuff my GH2 with an attached lens and 2 extra lens with room to spare, so it should accomodate most DSLRs and a lens + flash with no problem. However because it's tight in my bag, the side pockets where they suggest you place extra batteries / SD cards becomes nigh impossible to access. It might've been better if the pockets had been on the sides instead of on the front. I would've preferred the discontinued orange color, but the green / gray combo is easy enough on the eyes.
The drawstring is not going to keep water or dust out as it doesn't close the top completely, and is a hassle to open and close, so I just leave it open most of the time and leave my messenger bag flap to provide the actual weather-resistance.
