Okay, so...
I have a big bulky Burton Focus camera backpack that can fit all of my gear other than my strobe (plus hard drives computer and whatnot).
It's fin for shooting inbounds, events and traveling.

But now, I'm looking for a smaller backpack for inbounds pow days, touring day trips and days when i just need less stuff.


What it needs to fit:
Canon 5d2 body (gripped or ungripped, not a big deal)
Sigma 15mm fish
Canon 17-40
Canon 70-200
Avy shovel
Avy probe
Skins
Lunch
Extra layer
Small first aid kit

Thats all
Does this pack exist?


I've used a friend's Dakine Sequence for this, and it worked okay. I think Fstop Guru might work, but IDK. I could also look into other packs+ICU, but I love the quick access of camera bags and don't want to sacrifice that.

Check out the f-stop Tilopa BC. About the same size as the Loka, it just expands more if you need the extra width. A lot smaller than you think it is. I've fallen in love with mine and it can easily fit everything you just listed. I have a medium shallow ICU, so you'd probably want the straight up medium one.

too big, i want smaller, not bigger.

Pretty much, I'm looking for a photo backpack instead of sticking my camera with the 17-40 in a holster bag inside of my daypack.
I want it to fit just that stuff, no more, and be low profile/manageable.

Agreed! The UL isn't any smaller, it just shaves a bit of weight.

^ here's another company to consider.

their photo bag is 30L (in between the 37l loka and the 25l kenti) and the bags are completely waterproof. they're made for biking, but you could strap skis on w/ the compression straps in an a-frame style.
