Lowepro - Lowepro 350 Fastpack Black Camera Backpack Review

I love this bag.  I'm not just fond of it, I truly love it.  I travel for business and pleasure quite a bit, and I've been looking for a bag to suit my special needs for quite a while, then comes the Lowepro 350 Fastpack.  It holds my laptop, my camera and equipment, and all my personal stuff I don't feel particularly good about entrusting to the airlines.

Not only will it accommodate my 40D with grip, but with my 28-135 attached with lens hood.  It has room for my 70-200 4L, and any extra equipment I drag along, (wide angle, filters, chargers, etc.), and this is only in the camera compartment!  It has a security flap that covers the side access area of the camera compartment for extra protection.  Speaking of the side access area, when backpacking in rural or urban areas it provides quick easy access to  your camera and lens in short order when you want your camera in a hurry. 

The 350 model accommodates a 17" widescreen laptop providing a zippered slot towards the rear, or shoulder strapped area, with ample padded protection.  The upper portion of the bag provides ample space for your personal items with several additional securable pouches, and one large removable pouch. 

Did I mention that with all of this it will also fit under your seat on an airplane as well?!  It's size and mobility offers the option of also taking an additional carry on bag for the overhead so you don't have to even offer the chance to the airlines to lose your stuff. 

The bag compartments and camera area are very well protected and customizable for your camera needs.  It comes in three colors, black, black with red highlights, and black with blue highlights.  This bag is pure nectar, and the price is extremely reasonable for the quality it provides.
