I have the Nature Trekker A/W, which is a bigger version of the same
backpack, again purchased because of recommendation from the list.
I carried it all over Italy and Switzerland in December, and it has
been fabulous. Seems incredibly durable, as well as well thought
out. Was caught in an unexpected rainstorm at a soccer game a few
weeks ago, and the fold-out raincover was a nice feature (I think
that only the A/W series bags have this). The straps are really
well done, and it is set up to carry all day and remain comfortable.
It holds a LOT, maybe too much, as it is easy to overload. In
retrospect, maybe the Mini Trekker would have been large enough
for 900f my usage.

I made that choice based on OM group endorsements as well. My wife
bought me a black one for Christmas :) This past Sunday was the first
time I carried it all day at the race track (I had carried it for parts
of days before but not all day long). I manage to fit two bodies with
winders, a wide angle, two or three converters, an 80-200/2.8 and a
350/2.8. The extra pockets in the front and the tripod mounting system
are all well thought out. Fully loaded it is a dream to carry. Weight is
distributed well and is mostly on your hips via the waist belt. The
upper cross-strap is also handy to secure a carried camera strap from
slipping off your shoulder while walking between shooting locations. A
wonderful product for a very fair price. I really like it.
