Clik Elite Compact Sport Backpack (Gray)
The gray Compact Sport Backpack from Clik Elite with its streamlined design makes hiking, mountain biking, skiing and fast packing a breeze. This is a rugged pack designed for those who like to travel fast and light. For the avid outdoor photographer, you'll find it holds a DSLR and a couple of lenses as well as a flash plus a small tripod that is secured with tuck-away attachments that store out of sight when not needed. Aside from being manufactured from high-quality Cordura nylon, included with the pack is a convenient rain fly that can be rapidly deployed in foul weather for even more protection from the elements.
The unique feature of the Compact Sport Backpack is that it can be used as a handy sling bag. The bag is configured for rapid access to the contents either from the top or from a side access pocket when you swing it around to the front. More than that, the inside is fully modular with padded dividers that permit you to arrange the guts in whatever format you need depending on what gear you're taking along. The convenient internal organizer panel is used to store all your batteries and memory cards.
Since traveling light usually means building up a real thirst, the pack will hold an optional 3 liter hydration bladder that will keep you refreshed while you're hitting the trail. The waist belt is wide, padded and comfortable and secures via a quick-release buckle. The shoulder straps are also padded and fully adjustable and supported by a narrow chest strap that will help steady the pack when navigating steep pitches. The back pad is also contoured, padded and comfortable and will help ease the stresses on your back while outside. The zippers all have pull tabs that are easy to use when wearing gloves. For a reasonably-priced, lightweight backpack, the Compact Sport 706 offers you flexibility, functionality and ease of use.

Comments about Clik Elite Compact Sport Backpack (Gray):
I bought this as an improvement on forcing a backpack or camelback to act as a camera bag.
Short review: Great protected bag which accepts a camelback bladder. Would be nice if the camera was easier to get at, but the protection is great. Excellent bag.
Longer story: I use a Billingham Hadley pro for my daily bag. I tried using the insert with a backpack while skiing and found it less than satisfactory as I had to be careful still with what else went into the bag. I picked up this Clik bag and it is a great size. The camera compartment just holds a Nikon D7000 w/ 17-55 f/2.8 lens without a hood. The adjustable 'walls' of the camera section make the bag very adaptable to lens arrangements and extra lenses. I wouldn't try to pack more than a spare prime or maybe two in with your body on a trip. For me this is perfect for biking or skiing as I don't intend to be changing lenses much on-the-go anyway.
The external tripod strap seems workable but I haven't tried taking the pack and tripod out for a spin yet. I was able to fit a 100oz camelbak bladder into the isolated bladder compartment and had just enough room for a lunch and shirt in the upper compartment. Also, there is a small zipper pocket for keys, ipods, or small bits which is useful.
All in all, this bag is not huge, but it does exactly what I wanted. It seems well constructed with nice details (water resistant zippers). The bag is roughly the camera version of a Camelbak M.U.L.E.

Comments about Clik Elite Compact Sport Backpack (Gray):
I bought this for my Olympus E-510 with 70-300mm, 50mm macro and 14-42mm kit lens. They all fit at the bottom compartment where the camera resides but it is a bit too tight. The top compartment is not that big--keep that in mind when you but this. The rain-fly is tucked underneath at the bottom of back. Rain-fly is very handy and have already used it.
I also bought this is in the hope that I could take my gear for Mountain Biking. It is compact and small enough for that purpose. It looks like I could also use this for skiing as well.

Comments about Clik Elite Compact Sport Backpack (Gray):
the spec says that it can hold a Nikon 24-70 but it did not say that it can only hold it when it's not on the camera! I could not fit my D90 attached to the 24-70.

The pack is super comfortable. Has specialized compartments to store extra memory cards and batteries.
Has plenty of room to carry everything you will need for a day hike!
Found that it can be slightly awkward to remove camera from bag at first.
