man bags

It might be known that Im a gear geek. Im always looking for the best gear for the job and attempting to be as minimal and multi-purpose with each bit as possible. But when it comes to camera bags this is quite difficult. I get laughed at when people see how many camera bags, backpacks, and shoulder bags I have. But, they all have a specific use. For backpacking recently to tote my Canon 5dmkii I've been going a very minimal route.
Inside my Moutainsmith Crosscountry II internal frame backpack I drop my 5dmkii body in a lens wrap and my 24-70mm f2.8 in the canon lens case that came with my 70-200mm f2.8 and Im on my way. This setup isn't ideal it is clunky and time consuming to whip out the camera. Lowepro just released what might be able to replace a few of my backs and seems great for day hiking or an overnight backpacking trip.






The PhotoSport AW series is styled like most daypacks/outdoor backpacks with hydration pocket but these pack a compartment for a body/lens. Now if I can just get Lowepro to send over the larger black model I should be good to go. This post wasn't sponsored by Lowepro or Canon (though either can sponsor me anytime they please). Im just a fan and enjoy the potential of these new bags.
