Reddit mentions of Transit BP 350 AW Camera Backpack from Lowepro – Protect and Carry All Your Gear Plus Personal Essentials

If i'm out and about this bag

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0039NLS3I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

will take my 7dmk2, big 50mm and 24mm pancake easily along with sunglasses, phone battery pack, umbrella etc etc. I love the sling aspect making it easy to bring infront of you to quickly get the camera out, and if you have it at a concert or something you can have it to your side or front and not worry about pickpockets etc.

There are newer version of the bag but various reviews said this one was the best version and it was a lot cheaper than the newer ones.

As an aside, i have this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lowepro-Transit-Backpack-Mirrorless-Cameras/dp/B00D93QR9I/ref=sr_1_43?srs=1651580031&ie=UTF8&qid=1474207577&sr=8-43&keywords=dslr for when i'm travelling or specifically going to take photos and want to bring a lot more kit, and it's amazing.

I recently bought the Lowepro Transit 350 and am loving it. I love the little "shelf" on top that can easily separate your camera gear from your everyday items. Plus the side zipper to easily access your camera is nice too.

Looking to get a new backpack, currently the messenger bag I have doesn't cut it anymore due to new gear that I have...

Budget: ~$150, willing to go up to $200 if it's a really good backpack

This backpack should be able to fit:

• Nikon D600 (I'll be upgrading to a D750 soon though)
  
• 70-200 f4
  
• 24-70 f2.8
  
• 50mm f1.8
  
• 2 Yongnuo Flashes
  
• Tripod (Manfrotto 293c4 + Induro BHD3 ballhead)
  
• Decent for short hikes, so hopefully light
  
• Random small accessories (headlamp, rocketblower, etc)
  
• Fast side opening
  
• Has a decently large pocket for non-photography equipment (this goes into the random small accessories above, aka not a backpack that has the random compartments that only holds photography equipment)
  
  What I've tried so far:
  
  
• Lowepro Photo Sport 200AW - seems perfect on paper, but doesn't fit Nikon D600 + 70-200 f4 + 24-70 f2.8
  
• Lowepro Transit 350AW - seems fine, doesn't seem to have a lot of room for additional accessories though, I do like how it looks somewhat discreet though
  
• Tamrac Evolution 8 - probably the best fit for me, but I've heard some smaller issues with it such as the straps are not ideal for wearing it for a long time, especially since it's the priciest one that I've tried... this is the one I'll probably end up going for, but I'm wondering if there are any other options.

Started with the Lowepro 350 Transit AW
Then upgraded to the Lowepro Fastpack BP 250 AW only upgraded because I had a laptop. Solid outdoor bags, stylish too for everyday use. The rain cover that's built in is really neat.
