In reply to Barry King.

You’re right, Barry – that was a con from another bag that we put there in error. I’ve owned two Hadleys – one canvas one from over 10 years ago and one more recent one with the FibreNyte material, and you’re right in saying that they do resist the occasional downpour very well. Thanks for the comment.

You stated that the Billingham Hadley is not waterproof, this is not the case, unless it is dunked underwater, it IS very much waterproof I can say this after years of experience with Billingham bags.

Just have a look at their website which explains how and why their bags are waterproof

Great list — I actually own the ONA Brixton bag and it’s super overrated. It’s VERY bulky and the stitching is quite poor.

I’m a fan of Sunny XVI’s The Gogh leather messenger bag. It’s just as stylish as ONA’s bags, but WAY more affordable and higher quality.

In reply to Mark Condon. Hi Mark I've actually read that whole article as well but I'm still conflicted on which bag to buy. What would be your personal recommendation on the best photography backpack that can also be used for everyday use (for a college student)?

Hi Mark!

First of all, I just want to say this is a solid review of camera backpacks. I’ve been doing research on camera backpacks for days now, and I can confidently say this is one of the most comprehensive reviews I have seen. I am currently a college student that has been doing photography for the last 4 years as my main hobby. I need a backpack that both serves as a solid camera backpack and a good everyday backpack that I can use for school. Please note I am willing to pay a premium as long as the price is justifiable for the quality so as long as you believe they are worth the price, feel free to give some slightly pricey recommendations. I’m currently leaning toward the Peak Design Everyday backpack but what are your recommendations? Here are some other bags currently on my list: Lowepro ProTactic BP 350 or 450, Lowepro Freeline, F-Stop Dalston, F-Stop Loka, Boundary Supply Prima, Boundary Supply Errant, WANDRD PRVKE, WANDRD Duo. Thanks for your time.
