Customer Review: Crazy protection for your camera
Summary: 4 Stars
This bag is built like a tank. If you're going to subject yourself, camera gear in tow, to a lot of water, mud, rocks, etc. then this bag might be a good choice. The traditional choice for those conditions would be a Pelican case, and I generally would still choose a Pelican case as getting into and out of this bag in fully sealed mode is a time-consuming chore. But it does carry easier than a Pelican case, so if you have a long walk between picture-taking stops this might be a good choice. In fact that's really the only use-case: hiking specifically to take pictures in wet/muddy conditions. The bag isn't really big enough to hold your lunch along with your camera gear, and you can't carry the bag and a knapsack, so you'd have to be on a photo-only hike.
The basic design is a padded outer bag accessed via a big flap with a huge patch of velcro. No way that's coming open accidentally, but on the flip side it is a heck of a tug and a lot of noise to open. Inside that is an orange dry bag. The design is very similar to dry bags used by boaters. The material is a bit lighter than my river dry bags, and is constructed in the "grocery bag" fashion with folded corners at the bottom. Both would be considered negatives in a river dry bag (the folded corners tend to wear out and leak faster than a circular bottom), but since the dry bag is always protected by the outer padded bag I suspect neither will be much of an issue in this case. Inside the dry bag is a padded series of compartments.
Although I sometimes venture into wet conditions, I didn't have any immediate plans to do so, so I pulled the compartment padding out of the dry bag and set the dry bag aside. In that configuration the bag is a bit more practical for running around (obviously without the waterproofing), but still not terribly convenient.
So, if you happen to fit the use-case for the bag go for it, there's nothing like it that I've seen and you'll be absolutely confident that your gear is safe. But if you're looking for a general-purpose camera bag I think you'd best look elsewhere. And if you're looking for a waterproof way to transport your camera gear that doesn't involve hiking, I'd get a Pelican case.
