After several crashes with my mountainbike I must conclude that these rucksack and also the pouch give enough protection. No damage to my cameras what so ever. I have no experience with LOWE's new Street and Field-system, which consists of a waistbelt and also a vestharness and several connectable pouches. Even with bottle bag for "biddons" wtih drinks. It looks like a good option for biking photographers. ><Snip> Fred Hess I'm heavy into this new S&W system of Lowepro having already gotten involved with the Mini Pro, Micro pro and you name it little pouches and waist pacs. They seem to be taking on Domke with this new system in it's styling but it goes more sophisticated than that. Also the waist belt and harness thing I've got and all kinds of pouches. If it doesn't work out I can always stock shelve in the supermarket! The most notable aspect of this system for me is the S&F Reporter 300 AV. which holds my whole Leica M system and the S&F Reporter 100 AV. which is smaller and holds a working-shooting smaller system, a body and 3 or 4 lenses. I love the reach through zipper and sophisticated features which are innovative and functional and stylish. Very Leicalike in my opinion I would recommend them first above all other companies now. Before I knew they were excellent for me, now with the S&F system I strongly feel they rule. Mark Rabiner This is not my opinion, this is real!
