Camera-specific backpack recommendations for hiking?

[Kermit power]

Hi all,

I have backpacks for hiking which are excellent, and have a "frame and mesh" back, which means that when wearing it, loads of air passes between the wearer and the pack, avoiding a sweaty back on a hike.

I also have a number of camera backpacks which have plenty of padding to protect the camera, and all the configurable dividers inside to keep lenses, bodies & flashes nice and snug and secure.

What I'm struggling to find is a combination of the two, as the former isn't designed for camera storage, and the latter gives me a horrible sweaty back after a while!

Does anyone have any recommendations? It doesn't need to be massive - just has to hold a mirrorless body plus 3-4 DSLR lenses and a flashgun.

Otherwise an insert in to your favourite bag? https://www.carryology.com/utility/the-best-camera...

I like FStop Gear for this sort of thing, although there are a few brands doing it now. The main problem I find is that most are set up for full size DSLRs, rather than smaller mirrorless set ups.

That's OK so long as the padded partitions are movable. I'll still often enough have my EF lenses with me.

That's what I've decided to do. Just ordered a Vanguard Divider 37 for £34 on Amazon to fit inside my Osprey Stratos 26. Best of both worlds!
