I am looking for a photo backpack with a few MOLLE compatible attachments so I can configure the backpack for what I am doing on a specific day; pouches, flashlight, water bottle holsters, 2-way radio, phone, even pistol magazines on occasion, etc. All the stuff you do not want packed in your photo backpack all the time, and want easy access to on long day hikes.
Many non-photo backpacks use the MOLLE system, a non-proprietary attachment system, originally developed for the military, but I have found few photo backpacks that have MOLLE compatible webbing sewn into the exterior sides (a feature which would cost next to nothing to provide on a backpack).
The F-Stop Loka has a few MOLLE attachments and the Dakine Reload looks to have a few. Any others?
The F-Stop Loka is reportedly of excellent quality but is a bit larger (37L) than I want for a general use backpack that is used on day-hikes and looks more like what I would want on multi-day hikes.
The Dakine Reload is a bit of a mystery, as I have never seen Dakine photo backpacks not have I heard of anyone using them.
Anybody have experience with these bags or know of other options? Thanks.
