Tamrac launches rugged-looking photo messenger bags

Outwardly, they look a lot like a schoolbag I had in the early nineties 😉

I’m sure these are well made and perfectly good if you’re after such a bag. Personally though, when I go into rugged terrain, I take my Lowepro Rover Pro 45L AW, which is half photo backpack – half trecking backpack, together with a holster type bag. This setup is much more practical I find than carrying a bag like the ones above (too annoying for serious hiking) + a normal backpack, or just a dedicated photography backpack (no room for trecking material).
