Lowepro Fastpack, which one?

Okay, so I'm looking at getting a new rucksack to hold all my gear while I'm out an about on my bike! I'm pretty set on getting a Fastpack (I think). I'm just wondering if anyone can give me an recommendation on what size to get? 150/250/350? has anyone used any of these, my reason for asking is that I can't seem to find anywhere local to me that stock them! So I'm not sure which size I'll need.

I'm also open to other ideas as well! So please feel free to recommend.

My gear is:

650D + Grip
24 - 105mm L
10 - 22mm
40mm Pancake
55 - 250mm

Hopefully a 100mm macro at some point too.

Manfrotto 190xprob + 804RC head
Macbook pro 13"


Plus I'll probably be carrying some Dr. Dre Studio beats, some lunch and a drink or two.

Any ideas on what size I'll need or any other rucksacks I should consider?

Thanks guys!

Unless they've changed the fastpack since I bought my 350, there is no tripod attachment.

On the website it shows a tripod being attached? :\

Ah, the new video fastpack apparently has a hideaway tripod mount, the original (still available too) does not. I actually got so annoyed with slinging my tripod over my shoulder I bought a Vertex 300Aw. If the new video 350 is like the old 350 + a tripod mount it would be a fine bag for the money. I'm normally able to put two bodies, 4 lenses and a flash in the main camera compartment; the lens hoods, memory cards, filters, wallet, phone, etc in the top, a drink on the side and my flashbender kit in the laptop compartment. Plenty of gear to get you through most occasions.

I'd love to have that much gear for so many occasions
Sounds like it's about right though, I suppose at least if I do get any extra gear I'll have room! Are your bodies gripped may I ask?

i have the old 350 bag. nice bag and can carry a gripped body easily

This is my main camera compartment with a typical "day out shooting" kit:

The T2i isn't gripped, but I can add the grip if I want, but then I can't fit a full sized lens next to it; instead I'd carry the 2xTC, the 15mmFE, or my HoodLoupe. It's important to notice that the only lens with a hood is the one on the camera. I keep the other hoods in the top, otherwise you really can't fit much gear in the bag and everything is getting crammed in way too tight.

Oh that makes me confident in buying it then! Gives me room to expand on the gear I'm getting then when I want to! And also room for an extra body if/when I need one. Thanks for that, much appreciated it!

Once your done with a 350, upgrade to a fstop loka

C'mon, everyone knows you don't upgrade bags........you just add new bags to the family.
