QWSTION Daypack Review: Drive By

QWSTION started in Zurich in 2008, with a bunch of industrial designers coming together to ques…
What’s In My Bug Out Bag Backpack?
…roduced astonishingly light and packable blankets, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, and travel pillows. You’ll want to stay off the bare ground, so at the very least, you should aim for a mat and a blanket, although a sleeping bag would be better.

Another route is to take a packable hammock; they’re light, will keep y…

Until Kip Thorne and a carry brand collaborate to create a bag with a black hole in it, legally sized carry-on is man’s best traveling friend. Now I’ll save the details in inches or centimeters until the end but I’ll say this: the Sparrow has a deceptively large amount of room for a bag so filled with features. Thanks to multiple compa…
Drive By :: Tom Bihn Daylight Backpack
…no solid structure, it’s really driven by what you pack. For this trip the bag bulged out beyond 5.1″ but had I left the jackets at home this bag would have been well under 3″ thin. Regardless, no matter how dense the crowds were at the stadium, the Daylight stayed unobtrusive. I could turn sideways and squeeze past pretty much any group of people without smashing the bag into their hot dogs or beer. Lowlights To be honest, there really isn’t much…

PolarPro Boreal 50L Backpack Review
…ll the gear I need for my work. With a bit of support for the frame of the bag, this could easily be one of my top bags, but that issue with the main compartment needing to hold shape and pulling the dividers away was something that I found frustrating.

I wish, for my body shape, the straps curved in a bit more so it would put less pressure on the edge of my armpit…

Most of us ended up just using non-camera bags with various covers and cases for our cameras and lenses to protect them.
