Thoughts on my next backpack (feddit.nu)

I am looking for a new backpack for every day carry where I always want my camera gear with me (a DSLR, a filter and a couple of extra lenses).

I am looking at the Ramverk Pro Backpack (26L) with their small camera insert.

I like:

The simplicity
The design
The large main compartment
Being able to simply add or remove all camera gear by adding or removing the camera insert

I don't like:

No water bottle holder
No quick access to camera
To few images showcasing the insert in the bag

Do any of you have this setup? Do you like it?

Would you recommend something else?

A lot of photographers seem to like the Peak Design bags, that’s what led me to them. They don’t really have a water bottle solution but the quick access is definitely there and I like the organization setup a lot - very easy to customize. There wasn’t a price listed on the link you shared but I think the Peak Everday bag is about $260 USD.

The peak design straps a horrible, they cut into you and are really uncomfortable when the bag gets heavy.

I like a lot of Peak Design stuff, but their backpacks are designed for small people and are pretty heavy at the same time. I'm 6'4" and a bit barrel-chested, and the padded part of the straps stops right at my armpits, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Really? I'm 6'5" and I have the large one (I think 30L vs the smaller 20L?) and I don't have any problems with it. Fits very well.

I did use the 20L. I have a similar issue with the 5L cross-body bag. I dunno, maybe it's not just my height, but my shoulders, arms, and chest. It's not a problem I have with the other backpacks I use from Timbuk2, Osprey, or Arc'teryx.
