    Camera Backpack

    Hey everyone. I'm looking to get a backpack to hold a Digitial Rebel XT and 18-55mm, 50mm, and 70-200mm lenses. I would also like a little extra room to hold other things, but I need something small enough to ski with all day comfortably. I'm going to use it skiing and riding motocross, so I need something that's durable and waterproof. Right now I'm looking at the Kata R-102 rucksack , does anyone have experience with this bag or any other suggestions?

    I've already seen the Dakine and Burton packs, but I've heard that neither of them are very good. I also searched about the kata bag, but no one here has used it apparently. So, back to my original question, has anyone ever used this kata bag skiing or riding?

    Manoove backpacks carry air...

    The unique Airprotect system contains an inflatable bladder. It protects your camcorder, iPod, camera or whatever baggage you have. Pressurize the air at a desired volume and your goods will be stable and protected.

    Manoove backpacks are made of high quality 600D waterproof polyester fabric. Skiers and snowboarders will approve the slender design on their back. All feautures you may expect from a nice daypack are in, including the new protective skirts. So check it out.

    Squaw really, really really , really sucks! Stay away

    Get one of these http://www.kinesisgear.com/p/V092.html and stuff it into whatever pack you choose. Works better than a camera backpack for a couple of lenses and body.

    Looking at the manoove pack description brings one thing to mind. If you fill with air in the chalet (or your car) then head out to the hill does it lose pressure due to the temp change? If so this is not a great ski (or any winter)application.



    And again this looks strangely like a cut and paste
    Move along nothing to see here.
