ThinkTank StreetWalker (normal) Vs Lowepro Flipside 300

[sci80899]

I need a new bag and after 'extensive' research, have narrowed down to these 2 bags, which are very similar in size and is probably more suitable for my equipment.

Could any CSer advise on which is better, pros and cons. The ThinkTank is also $30 more expensive, why is that, is it due to the fact that it allows better 'Airflow' through the back?

Sorry for my Noob questions. And Thanks in advance.

Personally, I dislike how the flipside opens from the back side.

I have the ThinkTank StreetWalker Pro. It is slightly larger than the non-pro version. I found it to be very comfortable and provides good back support especially fully loaded. Recommend the ThinkTank definitely.

Think tank for its durability and quality

Thanks guys for all your advice.

Looks like I'm gearing towards the ThinkTank. Any other/alternative views will be appreciated.

You should try visiting shops that sell both. But for me i recommend Lowepro flipside. I love the zip at the back for travelling.

The padding on Think Thank is also much thinner.

Just a quick question for ThinkTank users. I noticed the bags come with a separate rain coat. Does it mean the bag is not 'rain proof', will it do ok if there's a slight drizzle or say maybe dew drops dropping from tree leaves

Thanks once again
