Product description
The Backlight 18L Photo Dayback has room for your photo equipment and your own equipment. This backpack provides ideal protection in all weather conditions for travelling with your photo equipment.
The surface of the outer material has a water repellent DWR coating and the underside has been given a water resistant PU dry treatment. You can access your equipment through the back, so you don’t need to take off the backpack first. This also protects your photo equipment from dust and mud and keeps the whole backpack cleaner, which will make it easier to deal with later on.
The backpack has many different compartments that are intended for specific objects or accessories, such as a spacious front compartment that can hold around 5 litres. This front compartment is primarily intended for personal equipment for a day tour. The backpack also has an extra compartment for a laptop and even a separate tablet compartment.
There are loops and daisy chains for attaching objects to the backpack (e.g. an ice pick, walking pole or tripod). The backpack’s Air Mesh carry system is padded and breathable. The shoulder straps, sternum strap and hip belt are adjustable. Foam partition walls enable the inside of the backpack to be variably adjusted to suit your personal needs. The backpack’s zips are robust and durable. You can also attach a removable bicycle tail light to the back of the backpack. The rain cover protects the backpack and equipment against rain. If you are looking for a backpack that will hold everything you need for a day tour, then the Backlight 18L Photo Dayback is a reliable companion.

Reviews overview
Advantages
This is what other customers say:
Just recently aquired this. Extensive padding, waist strap and sternum strap help put load on hips and increases comfort when hiking. Very good quality materials and workmanship with many additional features that allow you to hang or attach a multitude of accesories. Storage in the camera section is plentiful and I have room for a Fuji XT2, 18-55mm, 10-24mm, 55-200mm lenses, a full Nisi filter set and pouch and a variety of accessories, with space left over. Front pocket is usefully expandable for waterproof jacket, snacks etc.
My only criticism is that within the camera section the lid only has 2 large flat mesh zipped pockets. Although these can be used for storage, they are tight and difficult to access and there are no small easily accessible pockets/slots for SD cards, lens pen, remote control - all item you readily want to hand when the pack is on the gound and the camera compartment open.
All in all, I am pleased with the pack and the keen pricing and service of Alipinetrek.
