I'm now using the F-stop Satori EXP with the medium ICU. It's quite an impressive piece of kit, with a good capacity to store camera gear and more. Got it off at Macshop in Funan at a good price with a promise to promote it for them, so I might do up a review soon.

It fits the Source hydration bag that you can purchase with your E-mart credits very well. However, I need to mount my tripod at the side as there are no fasteners to clip it at the front, so it'll get heavy on one side. For that you need to get their Gatekeeper fasteners to clip your tripod on the front, or it may be quite taxing to your back.
Plus I quite like the Molle loops on the bag - you can mount pouches and stuff from them should you see a need to.
Of course, I don't bring so much gear out usually as seen from the photos, that's just to showcase the capabilities of the bag. Here is what I usually bring out for my landscape shoots:
- Torchlight (Fenix TK11, served me well during my army days too)
- Benro panoramic kit
- Manfrotto superclamp with ballhead base
- Filters - Lee 0.6 and 0.9 soft grads, Lee 0.6 hard grad, Hitech 1.2 soft grad, Hitech 0.9 reverse grad, Lee Big Stopper
- Wireless remote that now has become a wired remote (Phottix Aion)
- Cleaning kit (wet wipes, blower, lenspen, etc)
- Nikon D800E with Nikkor 17-35mm semi-permanently attached to it
- RRS TVC-33 tripod (yeah, I know I'm crazy)
- Arca-Swiss B1 ballhead
- Allen keys
