Review on Waterproof CADeN Camera Bag Sling Backpack with Rain Cover, Tripod Holder - Compatible for Canon Nikon Sony Pentax DSLR/SLR Mirrorless Cameras and Accessories - Green by Wesley Holmes

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Well built, design just not for me

I have seen this product appear constantly in my Facebook feed, day after day. Eventually my brain decided I needed it. My previous DSLR shoulder bag was a bit worn. Of course I checked the Revain price first and I'm glad I did. About half saved. The strap is very comfortable. Very adjustable and fits my five foot female figure well without causing undue pain to the woman. It also rocks comfortably on the chassis at the rear. That's where love ended for me. I just felt uncomfortable storing and accessing my cameras and lenses. If the small straps that pulled the zippers were not threaded through the top closures of the bag, the zippers tended to open on their own, which could be disastrous. I just couldn't figure out how to use the included Velcro straps to separate and protect my gear and still have quick access to it. It also bothered me a lot that there wasn't a good way to carry a water bottle. The mesh on the side is too tight. The build quality seems good, the concept is good, feels comfortable but just not happy with it. I'm giving my grandnephew a used Olympus EM-5 for Christmas and this bag has room for a Micro 4/3 compact camera, lens, birding guide and anything a ten year old would take on a hike. the forest. I have to teach him how to zip up so the bag doesn't burst open. I think he will like it.
