I bought one of the overboard classic 25L backpacks About 6 years ago when they had them cheap at a well known membership store... And over the years, I wished I bought more. I used that backpack for years shooting in crazy downpours and blizzards and even on a river rafting event. Never had water in the bag once. My only gripe for he old bag had been the straps where not comfortable, it was just a tad too small, and there where no convenient pockets outside. Well this new 40L covers 2 of those concerns. It's considerably roomier than my old bag and the backpack straps are much more comfortable. However, there is NO pocket on the inside like there is on my old bag- not a deal breaker, but I loved the pocket on my 25L since it allows me to keep Wallet, phone, keys, or anything else need to access easily since the pocket was toward the top. Well, the 40L has no internal pocket and only the 2 small pockets on the side on the outside... Which are not really usable for much since here is no way to turkey secure anything you might put in there. But they're there. I have not had the new 40L in any kind of crazy weather like my old one, but I can see it's made every bit as good as the old one and I LOVE my old one, so I'm sure this one will serve me well for years. Also, overboard has excellent customer service in my experience- I lost one of the side clips to my old bag and contacted them to see if I could purchase a replacement and they sent me a new one for free and even covered shipping. I would not hesitate to buy any of their bags. I put an Fstop ICU pro XL or one of my top loading inserts in the new 40L making it a waterproof camera backpack. Highly recommend if you Will be in bad weather and need to be sure to keep stuff dry!
