Very well built product. I can tell this will hold up. It's like a tank. I bought "refurbished" but I can't find any imperfections.
Great Camera/Laptop Backpack April 29, 2008

I've been an avid Lowepro fan for years (and still am). In fact, I've never purchased a bag that wasn't made by Lowepro before this one. That said, I am extremely satisfied with my Tamrac Adventure 9.
This bag is not the type of pack you want to use for "everyday" shooting, especially if you do editorial-type photography where you constantly pull your camera in and out of a bag, but as far as travel or day-hikes, this might be one of the best options on the market. Aside from the ample interior space for multiple lenses, bodies and accessories, this is the ideal backpack for airline travel. It's small enough to fit under the seat (even when packed to its breaking point), but large enough to carry all your gear and have some room left over for non-camera amenities/accessories in the top compartment. The laptop sleeve holds a 15 in. comfortably and even had enough space for a folder with paperwork and a thin book or two.
This pack is durable, and comfortable to wear, and displaces the weight of your gear very nicely. If this pack had a weather cover it might seriously give Lowepro a scare. That said, I got caught in a downpour in London recently, made it back to the hotel and found my gear dry as a bone inside. I took out my gear to let the pack dry and it was ready for use a couple of hours later.
If you're looking for a sturdy, comfortable backpack to either travel with or take a day trip, the Tamrac Adventure 9 won't let you down.
 Good bag but limited versitility March 29, 2008

I take several trips a month for work and find many opportunities to take photos. Until recently I would carry two bags onto the plane (one with laptop and papers, plus my camera bag)which was very cumbersome. I was glad to find several backpacks that could do both for me. I purchased it after reading several reviews and finding the price fairly reasonable.
It's a good back pack, very comfortable, and definitely padded well enough to protect both my laptop and camera equipment. I did, however, find several draw backs that caused me to modify this bag almost as soon as I got it.
For work travel I need a little more storage room up top and could do with less in the camera compartment below. My DSLR is not the pro style models that take up all that room. Immediately I found that there was only one place to attach the removable inner divider. The Velcro pieces on the walls of the backpack are only large enough for the tabs on the divider. With a little extra velcro and and cloth I lowered the divider. It does run into the lower flap but that was fine with me.
The other major annoyance I had were the waist and chest straps. The waist straps are a dangling annoyance when not used. They are not removable and the only place to stow them is by stuffing them into the side drink pouches. I had to cut the straps and attach a connector to the pack so I could add them when needed.
This bag also very sturdy meaning it doesn't collapse, which is good, but it is too big to slide fully under an airplane seat. Don't be the last on a plane or you may have some discussions with the flight attendant about why you don't feel comfortable checking the bag plane side and that it is fine with you that the pack gets stepped on during an emergency.

 A good backpack January 2, 2008

I got this for Christmas, and I am impressed with it. The front pocket holds an incredible amount of photography gear. It is a very large compartment and could easily fit two camera bodies, six lenses (if you place them standing up) or in my case I use the other sections for filters, film, and manuals. The front flap of the compartment has places for memory cards and other little things, but I don't use those yet.
The laptop compartment in the back holds my monster of an HP laptop (15.4 inch screen). There is also a small zip bag that attaches into the small compartment to allow for cables. I managed to put my power cord in there, even though it took up the whole case.
The only complaint I do have is that the middle compartment isn't really a full section. I had hoped it was for books. It is just a separate section above the camera stuff. The padding is Velcro at the ends so this divider can be removed if need be. I just have to make a choice between carrying my laptop or my books to class, not a big deal.
I plan on using this for school and I put all my stuff in there, and it fits with no problem.
- Everything seals up well for water protection, especially the laptop compartment!
- Weight is displaced well with the straps
- The whole bag is very well padded
