Aren't those bags Slingshots not Vertex's? ^^^^^

Heh, yes my mistake doing quick lunchtime replies, I'll get it out the way.

Reviews like this, with detailed description and photos, are very helpful. Thanks for posting this. If it's not too much to ask can you post a photo of the bag actually strapped on someone's back just so I could tell the proportion of the bag?

thank you for the comment, I will work on getting a photo for you

No I'm speaking of Vertex.

AW stands for all weather which is available for the Slingshots as well as Vertex.

So yes, one should be more clear and say Vertex 200AW versus Slingshot 200AW as opposed to 200AW or 300AW. However, the topic should clear any confusion.

Looking at the top of this page, Lester had made a post with a picture of some Slingshot bags (since removed by the looks of it), which is what I was referring to. Wasn't commenting on your post at all.

Gotcha!

Here is a good review from the digital picture.com

This is a super bag, bought one today, the only disappiontment is, nowhere to store a flask of coffee,( quite handy when waiting for the shot on a cold winters day ), anyone found a place for one?

200AW doesn't have the waist belt strap where you can tie the waist belt together if you are not using it.

That's funny because my Vertex 200AW does have the waist belt strap. I normally keep the waist belt tied together around the shoulder straps which I keep tightened against the bag. For most purposes, I use the carrying handle at the top of the bag.

Picture please, I want to see this.

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but can some of you post what your current thoughts are on this bag? Anyone go a different route after some time with the bag? I'm currently looking at this pack and the Tamrac Expedition 7X.

Thanks

I have mine over a year. I still love it and I can't say more to this because it's just an amazing bag all around.

Granted don't think that this will be your only bag. I have used this for travel, used it for hiking but not for daily use.

OK, I broke down and just ordered the Vertex 200..

Actually the bag is terrible! I wouldn't touch it with a 10000 foot pole! It's like what were they thinking making something like this?

I finally received my Vertex 200 AW in the mail.. I usually don't carry my PW's and the Nikon Speed-lights, so I have room for some more lenses.

Congrats on the bag, it will treat you well
