Backpack woes...

Bought a Dakine Sequence Photo Backpack Early this Year. http://www.dakine.com/sport-packs/photo/sequence/ Because, well because I'm sick of Lowepro really... Not that they've ever done me any harm but they always seem heavy for what they are. Unfortunately it has a Flaw with the Harness arrangement which means it rubs and almost caused me to lose my kit! I have both a bad back and arthritis in most of my joints so the bag weight is pretty important to me as it allows me to maximise on the gear side. So I tried a Kata Bumblebee today but it would not let me fit all my gear in nor let me fit in my 300mm DA* stood up. So I'm getting a Kata Owl in instead to try out, if this un is no good I'll be after carrying suggestions... Gear Lst K5 with 21mm Ltd Attached 15mm/40mm/70mm Ltd's DA*50mm-135mm (current) or maybe a DA* 60-250 in the future? DA* 300mm Newly aquired 10-17mm Fisheye Manfrotto 190 Carbon Fibre four sction Tripod I like a bit of room to stuff a Jacket and Sarnies etc this seems to be where some Backpacks fall down in my opinion, loads of gear room but nowt for anything else... Given all this, any fairly lightweight Pack options out there? Read most reviews but I want to stick with gear thats easily gettable in good old Blighty. So no go, on Click Elite or F stop packs...etc Any good Info gratefully recieved:D All the Gear and no Bag to put it in!

Glad to hear you like it, it's also very light isn't it?
Hopefully it will indeed last out for a while, that's my only concern with the bag but only time will tell that.
