Editorial Reviews:
The Expedition 7 is a large pack that accommodates a full complement of equipment. A large front pocket with a water-resistant zipper holds a light jacket or extra gear. The main compartment is completely foam padded with numerous adjustable, foam-padded dividers to protect multiple pro-size digital or film SLRs, a full range of lenses, and flashes. The camera with a long zoom attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers that are internally reinforced with rigid plastic. Restraint straps hold the lens firmly in place. Three Windowpane-Mesh pockets inside the front flap visibly organize filters, film and other accessories. A plastic, foam-padded platform in the bottom provides shock protection while a LockDown rain flap protects the zipper from the elements.

Summary: Very good Backpak
Comment: This back pack is very good, solid with excellent craftsmanship. It is design (to my opinion) for long expeditions with a lot of photo equipment that needs to be very well guarded. All the straps are heavy duty comfortable with a lot's of padding. There's enough space inside to load all the equipment you can possible have even as a pro. I would not be afraid to put in photo gear worth thousands of dollars. I can bet that if the bag is loaded and then accidently dropped on the rock nothing inside would get damaged. That's how good it is built. The down side of it is that it is too big, too bulky. I put it on my back (I'm 6'2) and it feels great but I looked like an Astronaut with an oxygen generated unit on the back ready for space walk. It's just to big.
It is not a problem of the product but it's just too big for my needs and I'm selling it and getting slingshot.

Summary: Comfort and Ease-of-Use
Comment: The Tamrac 5577, even though you may read of other reviews of this backpack being a bit heavy or large, is an excellent companion to any photographer! My professional digital SLR fits perfectly with its 50mm lens along with the 70-200mm lens, flash, accessories, and even room for my pocket digital! The backpack fits comfortable and weighs about 20 pounds when filled without causing back or shoulder strain by utilizing the waist and chest straps. In addition the Tamrac 5577 is weather-resistant with an outstanding design on the seal around the zippers!

Summary: Excellent bag-very happy with purchase
Comment: I purchased the expedition 7 bag for a trip to the 3 national parks. This bag protects the gear very well. It is well made and the strap system is very comfortable. I was able to carry this on the plane, and though large, it fit easily into the overhead compartments.
The strap system adjusts in so many ways, I would imagine anyone could get a good fit. (I'm 6' tall and 290 lbs - so no small guy)
I was able to fit my 40d with tele lens, 2 other tele lenses, a 50mm prime, a 70-200 sigma ex zoom, a bogen grip head, filters, hoods for all lenses, a battery charger, 420 flash, remote shutter release, 8 flash cards, lens cloth, dust-off, 16 AA batteries, and attached my manfrotto 055x tripod. I also attached 2 Tamrac water bottle holders and 2 medium accessory pouches (for lunches). Plenty of room for this and more.
The accessory mounting system is excellent with this bag.
The only "con" was that the flap that protects the zipper from rain would often get caught in the zipper when opening and closing.
I would recommend this bag to anyone.

Summary: It does say EXPEDITION
Comment: Finally, I have a pack that I can take all my gear to the mountains in! I needed a pack to carry photo equipment as well as necessities for long hikes and climbing trips - comfortably. This bag does the trick. I'm 5'8" and used to hiking with a lot of climbing and photo gear. This bag makes the job much easier. A few things I wish it had are mesh pockets, slightly larger outer storage pocket, and a water-resistant bottom (e.g. a rubberized bottom) for the occasional stream crossing.

Summary: Tamrac Expedition 7
Comment: First, I love Tamrac!!! I have a small bag that I have had for years and love! The Expedition 7 is HUGE and I know I looked at it and it said it was large but it is really big and when you fill it up, it is heavy. I like it a lot and will use it to store and keep all of my equipment safe and all in one place. It won't be as handy as I was expecting, but it is a really nice bag with lots of storage space which was what I needed. If and when I need to take all of my equipment, I will be able to now and I couldn't before. The size is just a little overwhelming at first but a super nice bag.
