Bag for photo gear and stuff for hiking/travel, choices seem limited, any thoughts?

I've outgrown my Domke and am looking for a bigger bag.

I was hoping to find a bag that would fit all my gear and also have a separate compartment for other stuff like mp3 player, sweatshirt, overnight bag, etc etc.

I've read the reviews on the Tamrac Adventure 7 and 9, but the bags seem to hold a minimal amount of gear. Both it seems only hold one body w/ lens attached, 2 lenses and a flash.

Are there any other dual use bags that I'm missing?

I bought an Adventure 9 last week as I wanted a bag with a laptop compartment.

I carry my 20D with EF 38-135mm fitted, a 70-300 Canon lense, 10-20mm Sigma lense, Sony HD camcorder and cleaning kit in the kit compartment. A 60GB firewire hardisk in the upper pouch and then the rest of it filled with poncho/hat etc.

The one disappointing aspect of the bag is there is no attachment facility for tripod/monopod.

Other than that a great bag IMO

I havent got one yet, but check out the super and pro trekker from LOWEPRO, I have been thinking about these

The have an attachable day bag to carry other stuff, and a tripod holder also

After looking over all the dual purpose backpacks I could find (including those mentioned above), I recently got a Naneu Pro K3. It holds all the items in my signature plus a flash and other smaller items (memory cards, batteries, chargers, ect...). The top is very roomy and can carry at least a change of clothes, a pair of shoes, rain gear and some food/snacks. I use it as carry on when I fly. It's nicely made and not too expensive, has a rain cover and the best part is the chest straps and back design. It actually has a spring like padded back that keeps it away from your body and keeps you cooler than one that sits directly on you. It's very comfortable even fully loaded.

I don't have a grip, but there is definately enough room for one.

What about the Lowepro CompuRover AW? seems a bit similair to tamrac adventure 9 (bit more expensive) and can carry a tripod!
