Lowepro Photo Trekker Classic Views
I've owned the Photo Trekker (Classic) for over 7 years and it's stood up to wear very well. No sign of any stitching problems and all the zippers and belts are still in good shape. The only part starting to show some wear is the padded back. I tend to store and carry it in the car with the back faced down, so that's probably the cause of the wear. Overall it's a very well made item. The current price (07/2000) is in the $150 region
The Lowepro Photo Trekker Classic met that requirement and more. I really liked its colors of Forest Green and Black, great for blending in with nature. Its shoulder straps are comfortable seeing how the bag when loaded with my equipment is over 35lbs. They are padded, also the waistbelt and back is padded (which really helps). It has a handle on top for just grabbing and throwing in the car (ok, I don't throw it). There is a shoulder strap also so this bag can be carried in a number of ways. It has straps on the bottom to mount other things like my tripod, which comes in real handy. The inside is customizable, in that all the support and separating walls can be moved to accommodate the way you want it.
