Introduction
Described by Think Tank as "Designed for use in urban and crowded environments, this slim, lightweight backpack also holds a 15†laptop, as well as a Pro-size DSLR and a 70-200 2.8 with hood attached." It is the largest Streetwalker among the 3 sizes.
Freebies (Items that came together with it)
Comes with a removable seam-sealed rain cover.
Build Quality
Comparable to Lowepro bags. The fabric areas seem to attract dust quickly and will probably leave white patches if you get it wet after awhile. Features YKK zippers which is the best around. The padding in mine doesn't really fit very well though.
Interior
The interior is decent. Can fit almost all my gear inside without any problems.
Loads of compartments here and there to put in the bits and pieces.
Exterior
Simple and practical. Pockets are conveniently located.
Configuration
Very similar to Lowepro bags. Suspect that TT wants to penetrate the Lowepro market and the SW is their first salvo into that area to poach existing Lowepro users.
Conclusion
Very well designed harness with air channel. Does not leave the back of your shirt wet. Works well to channel air through to cool you off. Material wicks away moisture as well. Harness relieves alot of weight from the equipment.
Likes about the bag:
Harness is really comfortable, air channel works well in cooling down, well made
Dislikes about the bag: Bulky.
