Hey guys, i'm looking for a camera case/bag

i have a t2i setup that is currently growing, i have body, grip, 3 lenses, getting a tripod and new lens soon, hopefully some lighting gear sometime

Would a f stop ICU fit in my dakine blade pack, 1800 cubic inches, http://www.backcountry.com/dakine-blade-backpack-1800cu-in-dak1325
with room for some stuff? like could i fit the ICU and enough stuff for a backcountry day trip?

I was also sort of looking at the dakine mission photo

i'm not really sure what my other options are, so im pretty open to suggestions on ^^that stuff, or anything else
thanks

For backcountry, F-Stop is the only way to go. For non-backcountry, Tamrac. Dakine bags are mediocre.

i have the mission photo, its a decent bag, f-stop for sure makes a better product but if you're not looking to drop a ton of cash dakine is a good way to go.

Get a medium; the large is bigger than you need. Then you'll have room to spare for other stuff. Dan Carr posts photos all the time of the different sizes loaded up.

Save up for an F-Stop bag when you can afford it too, they really are worth the cash.
