A very nicely designed backpack that would have been perfect if the main flap, or at least the lower half, was padded to protect the camera or scope inside. The snap buckles are a bit thin, and time will tell whether they are strong enough not to break, especially in cold weather. Delivery was exceptionally fast and secure. The backpack was shipped in a large box, and I received my order the next day. As a first time customer, I would definitely order from Photogear/Shopper+ again.

The overall design is very good for a backpack. I don't use it to carry a spotting scope but I do carry a large 300mm lens with my other camera stuff and works well.
