*>A backpack works best when it fits.  Not fits the stuff inside, but rather
*>fits your body.  The Lowepro bags are excellent.  I have the Lowepro
*>PhotoTrekker AW myself.  It does not fit me ( I am 5'6"): it is too short.
*>Why as I happy with a bag that does not fit me?  Because it fits the 
Airline
*>reglulations for carry on.  It is the biggest thing that meets spec.
*>Therefore it is the "perfect" airline carry on for photo equipment.  I use
*>it for my Hasselblad outfit.

You ought to have a look at the crumpler backpacks. I have a seriously
grumpy back and I just cant carry a shoulderbag anymore and the crumpler
bag is possibly the most comfortable thing I've ever worn.
