Sac de marin N-PVD 40L

Overall, I really like this backpack. It's a solid backpack that offers a lot of different configurations depending on your needs. A couple points of criticism that may or may not affect your decision in purchasing one:

1) The backpack is very stiff, which is great for durability, but may be challenging if you need to compress it into a tight space (such as storing it on an airplane).

2) Continuing in that theme, the side pockets are EXTREMELY tight, which makes trying to store a water bottle or a tripod in one of the side pockets very challenging sometimes.

3) Also, the top access pocket is also very tight and is not the most usable.

4) Likely not unique to this backpack is the zippers on the back that open up the camera section can be annoying to undo as you have to maneuver around the waist strap. Not a big deal but can be a minor hassle when trying to quickly access your equipment.

Other than those complaints, which aren't that bad honestly, this is a solid backpack and I would highly recommend.

I actually purchased the bag for two reasons, Quality and Security!

N-PVD 30L

Field tested this bag over the last year in harsh winter climates to filthy woods and construction sites for professional documentary work. Originally reviewed 4/5 but wanted to update with a 5 star.

Build materials are fantastic, holds up and very durable. It's shocking how much you can fit in this bag from a camera body with 70-200 and a 100-400 and extra lenses on top of that. Very comfortable and quick to access gear. Pockets are well thought out and enjoy the tripod strap.

Would buy again!

I recently purchased the Nanuk N-PVD 35L camera backpack, and so far, it’s been an excellent choice. The pack is incredibly comfortable and easy to adjust, making it a breeze to carry around. It fits all my large film camera equipment with room to spare, which is a huge plus.

From the outside, the backpack looks very low-key and simple, which I appreciate. It has little accessory pockets exactly where I need them, making organization effortless. Setting it up with the adjustable inserts was straightforward and quick.

While I haven’t had the chance to fully test it out yet, I’m looking forward to putting it through its paces on my upcoming camping trip in a few weeks. I’m confident it will handle the late fall weather and rugged conditions well.

Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile camera backpack.

This is the best backpack I have and can carry 2 cameras, 70-200 and 3 more lenses for full day traveling shoot.

I’ve been using this camera bag for nearly a month now and have to say it’s quickly become my all time favourite. The sturdy outer means it keeps its shape, allowing your gear to fit the same way each time you grab a new lens or body. The customizable interior is so good and I can carry everything I could possibly need for a days shooting or a hike in the mountains. It’s ergonomic, comfortable fit makes it the perfect pack for photographers day in and day out, not to mention how good this thing looks! Highly recommend this to any professional or hobbyist photographer looking for their next camera bag.

It's a BIG boy! But it can safely store my Sony FX6 with top handle, shotgun mic holder, battery, and lens attached!
