Backpack for photoequipment and hiking
xps:
I´m looking for an alternative for my Tamrac adventure 10. I need an backpack that is able to contain 1 Camera body and 4 lenses (wideangle, 70-200 L or 100-400 L, 28-70L, 60mm macro), e.g. 1 light tripod, AND where I can put all the things inside I need to go hiking (meal, drinking, clothes,...)
The Adventure 10 ist nice, but often (if your family joins) a little bit to small. And I´m not pleased that this backpack has no climating system on it´s back. My other backpack from tamrac (expedition 8) has an small cooling system on its back.
Does anyone knew one thats like an goldenegglayingwoolmilksaw (large, with big room for hiking supplies and an climating system against to muck sweat?

F-stop packs are great, but pricey.

I'll second the F-Stop packs. I've been using a Loka for about a year and a half and love it. I've taken it on day and overnight trips, used it to take two bodies, lenses, a tripod etc to Subway in Zion, and other decent length hikes. One key thing for me that may not be obvious is that it's designed to fit in airplane overhead bins.
I was just hiking in Canyonlands and was stopped by two photogs wearing Tamron packs. They asked about my pack and I gave them a brief demo, opening it up and everything...they told me they were sold and were going to each get one. Not that the F-Stop fits everyone's needs of course, but it's done well by me.
xps:
F-Stop seems to be a good choice. Looks good.
I´m interested in the Satori Exp. If you take a smaller ICU inlay, thats smaller than the opening on the carrying side, does it cover the things you carry within the bag? Or is it open, so that the things outside of the ICU can be seen?
And how is the air circulation on the back and the carrying comfort?
Much thanks

As usual, I am recommending the LowePro ProTrekker 400AW. Took it to Nepal for some hiking in the Himalaya last month, managed to fit water (in a camelbak), some food and clothes inside in addition to my photo gear.
