Looking for a backpack that holds camera gear not a camera backpack

Guys,
I am looking for a real backpack, that holds camera gear and has a large section for personal items, e.g. jumper/jacket, water bottle, food container, pens, wallet. It needs to be a bag for everyday use.

F-stop bags should fit what your looking for perfectly.

or find a backpack you like and get inserts for it.

I use day-hike sized hiking packs, with a LowePro TopLoader Pro 65 inside. The Toploader sits in the bottom of the bag which gives me room for other things on top of it. Works like a charm.

Specifically my bags are a CamelBak RimRunner, and an Osprey Manta 30 so you can get an idea of the size.

I'm going to try this:

Just looked through their website, really nice stuff. This is now at the top of my list for a larger camping/hiking bag...

I second that!

Or if you have a backpack you like get a padded case for your camera and toss it in there.

Have you heard of the Mindshift? I tell everyone about this. This backpack is absolutely amazing.
Plenty of storage. http://www.mindshiftge​ar.com/

I have the MindShift FilterHive, and I will vouge for their products. They have been quality for me.

I chose the Lowepro Rover 45L http://store.lowepro.c​om/rover-pro-45l-aw

The Rover 45 L backpack is 1/3 open space and 2/3 camera compartments.
The two camera/accessory compartments can be taken out.
The price is a shock!

The other option I have used is a regular backpack for my camera, lenses etc. with independent Lowepro carriers for each piece. This provides each piece exceptional protection, but is bulky, depending on how many cameras and accessories you wish to carry.
