Hey guys, so my two favorite things to do is ski and take pictures or make videos. I've been looking for a while now at getting a backpack for my camera (i have a canon 60D with a 50mm and 28-135mm), and i am trying to decide which to get? I was looking at the f-stop kenti, its is a camera bag with a bunch of features i want (like being able to stap my skis to the side for hikes). I was also looking at getting the evoc FR Pro, since it is a freeride bag(its light and has straps for a shovel and skis and all those goodies), and then i could maybe just toss my camera inside when i need it. They are around the same price, Which one should i get/ how often will i actuall be skiing with my camera on me?

Thanks Dudes/Dudettes!

The Kenti will likely be a little too small. I would recommend either Loka models. The quality of the f-stop bags is well worth the price tag, too. I have used mine several times a week for skiing, biking, and backpacking for over a year now and still have yet to see any damage or wear, they are VERY well built.

I just got a FStop Guru, it seems like it is going to be PERFECT for me.
In a small shallow ICU I can fit my 5d2 body (ungripped), canon 15 fish, canon 17-40, and canon 70-200 f4 non is
That leaves plenty of room for my avy gear, extra layer, lunch, and skins.

you could get a drop in case that just sits in your normal ski pack

If anything I'm worried about the kenti being too big. I want something that I can bring my camera along, but can still rip around if i have it on.

The dakine trail is about as small as you can go
