Can you please post some images of someone wearing the Micro Trekker 200, to give an idea of how large/small it is on one's back?

Also, what do you folks do for rain protection? Is there a suitable cover for it that can be bought separately?

I do not have any models that can pose with my Micro Trekker 200 but for rain protection I carry a couple of green garbage bags in one of the side pockets. I've only had to use this protection once in a blowing steady rain and it worked well.

Can you fit a 1L water bottle in the outer pocket? Do you find it rides too high on your back? It looks like the "waist" belt may actually be a "upper tummy" belt.

I found this bag not to be too ergonomic when worn. It just wasn't comfy. I switched to the slingshot and have been happy ever since.

A 500cc water bottle fits into the pocket but the pocket will not close. I removed the "upper tummy" belt and only use the chest strap.

I'm 5'8" and this pack is comfortable for me. I've worn it for 4-5 hours while out and about taking pictures at various outdoor events and did not notice any discomfort. I've not used it for hiking in the bush or mountains or such.

My Mini Trekker AW holds much more gear, fits well and the waist strap goes around my waist. I've used it on domestic flights as a carry-on.

This bag is not uncomfortable at all. I wore it for 5-6 hrs a few times, felt heavy after a while and tired but not really uncomfortable.

Like pturton said, a smaller bottle water will fit in the side pocket, maybe 16-20oz.

Here's a pic of it sitting next to the Domke f-1x and one I'm wearing the Domke so you can see the size. I'm about 5-6

Thanks for the comments, and thank 4x4rock for the photos. Will definitely help me make a decision. I need to carry a 16-35 II, 70-200 f/4 IS a 100 mm macro, a 5D and a 580 EX, and this bag looks like it will do it in the most economical (in terms of space) way possible.
