The black 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 (Black):
Overall I'm happy with the Clik Elite Compact. It is comfortable and has a good balance between camera space and general space for misc items. Also, it is small enough for it to be carried around all day without it being a pain.
The camera compartment is a bit smaller than I expected however. It came with 3 dividers, however I can only use 1 in order to fit all my gear. (Sony A33 with 16-80mm + 70-300mm) Still a little bit of space left, so it's not a squeeze... but I'd recommend maybe the ProBody backpack if you have a larger camera/more gear.
Oh, and the rain cover is a bit awkward. It's at the very bottom of the backpack and you have to really try and stuff it in the provided space.

i purchased this backpack after buying the gray one from REI. the gray one looked slightly green so i decided to order the black one instead. i love this backpack. it fits my SLR and 2 lens. the best feature about this is the rain cover.
the only issue i have with it is the lack of security.

To school and back with my Canon camera and enough room in the pack for all my daily needs. Light weight and durable and it doesn't hurt that it looks good. Add a camel bag for the hot days and you have a great pack.
Wish it had a few more outside pockets that zip.
