Five things to look out for
1
If you’re out for long periods, you’ll want to ensure the shoulder straps are well padded and comfortable.
2
Ensure your gear is well protected, with tough exteriors and padded interiors. Consider weatherproofing too.
3
How customizable is the interior space? Moveable dividers will open up a world of storage configurations.
4
Rear-access is a great way to thief-proof bags, but can be fiddly if you need to get to your gear quickly.
5
If you want to carry more than lenses and camera bodies, look for a bag with separate storage compartments
