Great review mate. What are your thoughts taking it for an overnight trip with a body and maybe 2 lenses? Do you think it'd be possible to include food, a small tent and a sleeping bag?
It would be difficult, but likely possible. I don’t think you’d be able to pack that much with the camera cube (as it takes up a lot of space). But maybe if you pack clothes into the other divider compartments, and are really strategic with the top compartment packing, I could see it done.
I was also thinking about your question more in a winter camping point of view (with lots of heavy clothing and safety gear). Summer camping would be much more feasible with this backpack.
Hi Tava, very nice review of the Powder Backpack. I would use this for landscape and wildlife photography. Would a Sony 200-600mm lens (34cm / 13,4inch long) fit in the camera compartment ?? Thanks in advance !!!!
It wont fit under the seat. But i have this bag and i had it in the overhead compartment and it does fit. Just make. Sure that when you are boarding try to compress it as much as you can. Because if you expand it it would be noticeably taller and some crews might not allow it. With it compressed the dimensions are exactly on most airline carriers standard. If it goes beyond 7kgs, you can remove the internal camera compartment and tell them its your personal bag and you are good to go.
@@beyootv1333 it does have a laptop compartment inside. In my case i put my laptop on an eva case and remove the front velcro divider for the 50/50 compartment so my thick. Laptop could fit. The cube will be adusted nearer to your back and its fine. My eva case with an asus gaming laptop is 4.5cm with the eva case thick and it's fine there. You csn also put it on the front.
Seems a bit heavy though.. Wondering if it would be better off just getting a lighter mountaineering bag that has the same features and design (just lighter), and adding a camera unit. Maybe not the most practical, but must lighter
@@tavakessler a whole inch of padding is pretty excessive. The material is also very durable, but I find its too much, which makes it too heavy. Comparing that bag to other bags, its on the heavier end. The design of the bag is pretty good. Its a good bag, wish it was more narrow than wide, but its good overall. Just the weight is the killer
I’m not able to find any video which shows the laptop compartment in this bag. Can you please give me an idea where can i fit my laptop in this bag. I use 15 inch macbook pro. Thanku
Dawg. Your gonna review a touring pack but decide to take the camera gear out on your test? I'm curious as to how it feels when you have camera gear along with all the others that go on tour.
Great drinking game, have a shot every-time mate says "backpack" !
Really useful review, thanks.
Great Review. Very Comprehensive. I enjoyed the the field testing bit.
Great review. Thanks 👍👍

@@tavakessler Thanks mate! It looks like a great pack either way!
AWESOME!!!!
Thanks! :)
Thank you!
Very good review thank you! One question: can you attach stuff at the exterior bottom? A tent, sleeping bag or something.
Unfortunately not really… you probably could figure something out but it’s not meant for it
great review man thanks ;)

Hi there! I would say yes, because you can rearrange the compartment a ton. But it might have to be removed from the body.
Hi, I have a question. how tall and how many kilograms are you? Thanks 🙂
1.8m and 70kg!
and is the back of the bag long enough for your height?@@tavakessler
You still have this bag? Still liking it long-term?
I still do have it and use it quite frequently. There have been a few minor issues, but overall the backpack is still in good working condition.
does those fits in the plane cabine with you ??
Probably not under the seat

@@sanghuloom6943 very nice thanks but no laptop compartment

I’ve never had a weight issue, but there are definitely better built packs out there

Can I fit laptop in this bag?
Yes, definitely!
I’m not able to find any video which shows the laptop compartment in this bag. Can you please give me an idea where can i fit my laptop in this bag. I use 15 inch macbook pro. Thanku
@@kevinvala1 it fits right inside of the top compartment, in between the front on the bag and the camera cube
Thanku so much for your help.
its a good video but no link to the backpack … come on?!?
