Manufacturer Description
This modern backpack was designed for the SLR photographer with a large digital or film SLR (such as Canon's EOS 1D series or Nikon's D2 series) with a grip and lens attached, several lenses, a flash, and accessories. The Adventure 7 features a youthful, modern, and sleek design that, for security, does not look like a camera bag. In this uniquely designed backpack, the lower section is a completely foam-padded camera bag compartment, while the upper section functions like a traditional backpack to hold a light jacket, lunch, or other personal items needed on your next photo adventure. The front pocket features Tamrac's patented Memory and Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify which memory cards and batteries are available. The foam-padded camera compartment has a weather flap and quick-release buckle for security and weather protection. Two mesh pockets on the sides provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. Two lash tabs on the bottom of the backpack can accommodate a compact tripod (requires accessory straps). This pack is equipped with an adjustable waist belt and an expandable sternum strap. The Adventure 6 also features Tamrac's Strap Accessory System attachment points for customizing with optional S.A.S. products.

Memory and Battery Management System
Many of our camera bags feature the patented Memory and Battery Management System, which provides quick access to memory cards, batteries, and accessories. This unique system uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up.

Strap Accessory System (S.A.S.)
Tamrac's Strap Accessory System has components that attach to the shoulder straps of most of our camera bags and backpacks to allow photographers to personalize and customize their carrying systems.

Adventure 75
Great Backpack! It is well made, padded straps and back. I have a Canon 20D with grip and about four smaller lenses in the bottom. I do have to keep my Canon 70-200 2.8L in the top section with a lens wrap around it.

perfect camera bag5
This camera bag is just the right size and weight for protecting your camera and having everything organized and accessible.

Discrete, Comfortable, Protective5
I received this bag several days ago along with my Canon EOS 40D. Yesterday, I packed my camera, a kit zoom lens, a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens, two Rice Krispy treats, a large book and a water bottle into the bag for a trip into Washington DC. When I first shouldered the bag I was surprised by how light it felt and how comfortable it was on my shoulders.
The backpack worked just fine throughout the day, but when I was caught in a horrendous thunderstorm for 20 minutes I was afraid for my camera's safety. When I finally found shelter I checked on each bag compartment and found that each of them was perfectly dry!
The only issue I have found with the bag is that when holding a water bottle in one of the side pockets, it is difficult to fully unzip the camera compartment. This is obviously not a big issue and only proved a mild inconvenience.

In summary:

Pros:
- Comfortable
- Discrete (It doesn't scream "I'm carrying a big expensive camera!")
- Roomy (I fit the "Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography" and a
few snacks in the extra compartment)
- Protective (The foam walls are thick and sturdy)
Cons:
- Difficult to unzip camera compartment when carrying bottle
- Must unsling bag from shoulder to access camera or lenses
* I'm planning to use this bag for longer trips and I have a
smaller 'holster' style bag for fast camera access.
