I've been using this bag for about 18 months. It has held up very well and I continue to enjoy using it. It is the best-designed, most comfortable backpack I've worked with.
Hi John thanks for doing this review. And yes I'm listening :) the only thing I would say with regards to rear panel pockets is that hot shoe's tear in the pockets and also zipper heads like to scratch gear. For casual outing this has a lower risk but when getting more active with sports, the bag tends to have more movement and greater opportunity for friction with the rear panel and gear. Also, just to clarify for your viewers, the material is water-resistant, not waterproof... we still recommend packing a rain cover if your expecting rain or condensation. They are also handy for simply keeping mud or excessive dirt of the bag. Thanks again. Ian
Hi Ian, what's the smallest ICU I can fit into the x70? I need more room for my winter camping gear than for my camera gear when I'm out in winter. Does the small still fit into such a large pack?

Thanks for the comments and clarifications Ian! The more I use your bag the more I like it. It is very comfortable to wear and carry gear.

Thank you! Nice and informative video!
No problem--thanks for watching.
What is details on that tripod? It looks compact and I assume stable.
The tripod in this video is my Mefoto Globetrotter. It is a great little tripod if you want something lighter for back-packing and yet still stable.
