 Lowepro DryZone Rover Backpack November 30, 2008
I gave this as a gift and was a little worried after reading some of the reviews. The recipient was very very excited! We tested out the water bladder and it holds water very well, he had a back up plan in case...there are other companies out there that make smaller water bladders, it's not a big deal to replace it. The zipper on the waterproof camera case on the bottom is crazy hard to open and close, but they kindly include zipper grease with the backpack, so we put it on and the more you open and close the zipper, the easier it gets. I really think he will get a ton of use out of the backpack seeing as we hike a lot...and are in a hot climate (yay for the water bladder!) and we are also planning on hiking around lots of water as well (yay for waterproof covering) The price at Amazon is also outstanding if you visit Lowepro's website and inspect what's going on over there...
 Some Problems with Waterproof Zipper System November 4, 2008
The overall quality of both Lowepro packs that I have is good to excellent. This bag has been out with me in rain and snow and other typically wet Southeast Alaska weather. My only issue with this bag has been that the waterproof zipper on the lower case is a little sensitive and if you are not paying close attention and making sure the two halves of the zipper are lined up, it will separate. This is happening more as the bag gets into its second year of use. If you decide to get one, just make sure that you are watching the length of the rubberized zipper and that it is fitted together well before you actually try and zip it up.
Good Pack For Whatever Nature Throws At You! November 23, 2007
Having purchased this bag for my Pentax K10D SLR camera about six months ago, I felt it prudent to remark upon it. This camera pack performs beautifully through any sort of weathering task.
The waterproof comportment easily holds my camera, three lenses, two extra batteries, the charger, a few filters, and several memory cards. Above that there is another compartment that is excellent for misc. items like a water bottle or raincoat; however this area is not waterproof.
The inner dividers are totally customizable so one can put any shape lens or camera in the spot they want. Plus, the whole inside compartment is removable but not waterproof by itself.
The unique zipper, to keep water out, is a little tricky and stiff at times and at first when you get it, the zipper needs to be lubricated. (This grease is provided)
The straps on the backpack are very comfortable. There is padding on the back as well as the straps making it ideal for hiking or just mundane walks. In addition, the pack has waist and chest straps to tighten the shoulder straps together and add to the comfort and support.
Overall, this pack performs great! The size is fairly large resembling a backpacking daypack. The zipper can be tricky if cold which may hinder quick removal of a camera, but to have a waterproof bag to protect one's sizable investments is well worth the delay.
This bag is definitely a must for wilderness and nature photographers or someone just dealing with the harsh elements trying to capture a moment in time.

I purchased this bag for hiking in Alaska. It is a Rainforest so I wanted to make sure my equipment stayed dry. The backpack worked great, held plenty of stuff in the top compartment. Very comfortable to wear.
A good field pack February 24, 2007

This pack gets the job done around water. I live in Alaska and need a pack that is easy to use and carry while keeping my digital safe and dry. Pelican cases are great but you can't carry them so I was forced to find and alternative. I like this pack because it is fully adjustable and has a compartment for all my other stuff.
The camera compartment isn't really a fast opening compartment but for day to day use I just snap the strap and don't bother with the zipper. The camera compartment is a little small if you need lots of gear or multiple cameras but for a few lenses and a camera body it works.
I think the water bladder, although a fairly decent one as far as they go, is fairly worthless. It's hard to drink from and every once in a while it leaks.
The upper compartment works great, I carry school books in there on a day to day basis and light day gear the rest of the time.
The tripod system is convenient and the extra straps make it easy to modify your load.
I'm a tall guy and the pack could stand to be a little longer but it still distributes weight better than most packs. I would say if you want to be sure your camera will be dry and have a back pack at the same time this is the way to go. It's padding and water proofing will keep your stuff safe and it's convenient and easy to carry design will make it a good choice for outdoors enthusiasts.
