Ruggard FotoTrek Overview

The 23L FotoTrek Hiking Photo Backpack from Ruggard is lightweight, comfortable, and made for hiking while photographing the environment in challenging locations. This large pack can be worn all day while shooting nature or city life. It accommodates a DSLR or large mirrorless camera, a tripod, accessories, and even a full day's change of clothing. The pack has moisture-wicking back and shoulder padding for all-day comfort, plus a chest strap. The removable interior camera case splits the pack into separate upper and lower compartments. Use the exterior straps to compress the pack to optimize weight distribution and attach gear, including tripods, monopods, and walking poles. Plenty of pockets, compartments, and accessory straps store essentials and allow you to add extra carabiners and pouches. The pack has a weather-resistant ripstop nylon exterior, making it safe for venturing out in damp environments. For extra protection in wet weather, the rain cover can be quickly deployed from its bottom-zippered pocket. The interior can be accessed using the easy-grip zipper pulls. The large zipper pulls make it easy to open the pack quickly, even if you're wearing gloves.

The zippered side-access panel makes it easy to get to your gear. Sling the backpack over your shoulder and quickly unzip it for access to your camera. The removable camera case can be used as a standalone bag or as an insert for organization in the pack. It will accommodate your camera, lenses, and memory cards. It can be attached to your belt for hip access, carried over your shoulder, or across your body.

A padded compartment protects your 17" laptop, allowing you to bring it along for editing and uploading photos wherever you go. The compartment can alternately be used to store a 3L hydration reservoir. The reservoir can be secured with the touch-fastener strap at the top of the compartment, ensuring the liquid pouch won't slump down in the bag and will always be upright and ready to drink. The drinking hose can be conveniently extended through the compartment's partially opened zipper.

Feel secure using this backpack with its brightly colored fabric and emergency whistle. The highly visible blue color stands out in a crowd or amongst the trees, and the whistle can be a lifesaver if you need to alert people to your location or if you require emergency help.

Great Backpack does not handle long lenses

Only drawback is that it does not handle long lens..great overall backpack

The best hiking camera backpack

This bag is great, the insert has enough room for me to fit my Sigma 18-35, Canon 7D2, Filter pouch, and a bunch of other accessories. Or I can put in it only my 7D2, 18-35, and a Sigma 100-400. It has a large front pocket perfect for a hydration bladder. I love that it can hold trekking poles. Very handy. Keep in mind only the 30L version has a waist belt, but for me I don't need it so the 23L is fine. You still have plenty of space for a lunch, snacks, and raincoat in the top area. Try this bag out! You will not be dissapointed.
