Pros:	Very large - Holds most of my equipment - Easy to carry - Wastebelt as extra option. - Will never open and drop equipment whilest carrying
Cons:	Very Bulky - One must be carefull whilest carrying in thight places.

I am very pleased with my Brians Hot Tub. I can haul it around filled to the brink with equipment and still not tire out.
It is very nice, with top notch zippers and well thought through details.
It swallows a 500/4,0 or a 400/2,8 and a lot of extra gear, too.
I especially like the idea, that the pack opens inwards to your back. Thievery is in possible whilest wearing the pack, and there is absolutely no stress on the ziplocks at all. The risk of dropping expensive equipment from your backpack is a thing of the past.
Only improvement I could think of is a kind of plastic wrap to put around the front, so it won't get dirty, when your accessing your stuff in the bagpack.
A plastic wrap or cover would be easy to wipe clean.
