The material of this backpack is nice. It has a nice feeling and feels soft. As in, it should be enough cushion to keep your camera gear safe.The bottom section has enough room for your SLR and 2 lenses. There might be room for more stuff but I did have a hard time figuring out how I should stick the padding on to support my SLR properly. I'm not sure if I did it properly. I think the padding should be longer. Or maybe include more of the smaller padding. I took off 1 star because there wasn't enough of those velcro padding. I think maybe 2 or 3 small of the smaller ones would be great.My Canon 6D felt safe inside of the backpack. I didn't like how the backpack opens up. To get to the laptop sleeve or to your extra lenses, you have to unzip the large section of the backpack. This will open up the entire backpack and expose everything. The part your camera gear is in will fall forward and my camera will be upside down. I would prefer lay the backpack down (straps down on the ground), unzip a smaller area where the tripod hangs on, and only expose the camera gear. I hope that made sense. It would make more sense when you look at the photos and video of the backpack.The top storage section is not as big as I expected it to be. It's not that tall. It's about the same size as my small backpack that I currently have. The bottom part is actually held on using velcro. It feels safe but I don't know what it's using velcro. It's not like I can make the storage section taller. You can make it shorter if you want but I don't know why you would want to do this.There is a rain cover included for the backpack. I didn't know what it was at first. It's just a thin water proof material. It's like a windbreaker jacket.I can recommend this backpack but I really didn't like how the backpack opens up to the camera gear. This is a personal preference.
