Review on Endurax Backpack Photography Compartments Cameras by Bill Dooley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I really wanted to love this backpack.

I really wanted to love this backpack but "let me count the ways" I didn't! The pack was a bit wrinkled as a result. This, in turn, bent all the partitions, which, by the way, were not installed, but fell under the belts in the equipment compartment. Because of this and the crumpled bag, it was very difficult to install. Velcro attachment points are strips rather than the entire interior, which limits configuration options and also increases installation complexity. That aside, I was still looking forward to using it, but it has to be the most uncomfortable backpack I've ever carried. The straps aren't as heavily padded or as big as the others and the whole pack sits low on my back unless I tighten them and the cross strap is too tight where it digs into my sides and shoulder. The worst thing is the split cushion on the back, which makes the soft part feel like two built-in planks. Too bad they didn't make a sturdy pillow like the one in the Tarion bag I'm trying, which has its downsides. Pros: Nice bag - seems well made, has enough room for a camera, large top compartment, side camera opening, extra storage pockets. Cons: As above - very uncomfortable, magnetic closures I'm afraid of losing (I only wear them around the house, the strap was twisted), no rain cover (I don't mind much), the padding at the bottom of the bag is thin . I wish Endurax and Tarion could come together and have the perfect bag!

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
