Best All Weather Camera Backpack

2/3 of a stop is a good value for my needs. the full stop was too much and 1/3 not enough at all.

I bought this about a month and a half ago now. It's a great backpack overall and held up extremely well in the weather. It kept all my gear dry, especially my camera. I really enjoy the amount of flexible access I have to the internals of the bag and having a number of small pockets to put smaller items into.

This case is very well built and you can't go wrong with this one.Best thing I did to get away from backpack camera bag and into case

Best backpack I have ever bought. If you commute you have to have this.

We got 2 of these to transport our video gear around and they're holding up perfectly! Best upgrade from our old camera backpack.

Best designed backpack I have ever had. Absolutely love it.

Best bag I’ve owned (and like many of you, I’ve had more camera bags than I can count). Tried quite a few messenger bags before (included latest and expensive PD), was never happy. Settled with Retrospective 7 now and took the opportunity of giving away and/or selling my other bags. I’m just keeping my also awesome Lowepro Pro Tactic backpack for occasions that backpack is more suitable. But most cases the Retrospective 7 is my go-to bag for a combination (not always at the same time) of 5D3 (with RRS L bracket always installed), 24L, 85L f/1.4, 135L, 70-200L f/4 II, 580EX II flash, filter case, TC-80N3 shutter release controller, extra battery, cards, etc. I can even wrap my RRS TFC-14 & BH-30 rig on top of it (although not ideal) with some make-shift straps I did just so I can be hands-free for a while…I highly recommend this bag for the look, quality, design, attention to detail & functionality.

This backpack is very spacious and useful and the modularity is the best! I also really love the weather cover that is included

Best case ever, my back thanks for removing the weight of a backpack

Best I've found for my backpack rig. Sturdy & lightweight.
