There's no padding in there, though, so the camera would get bumped around a lot. @D — yes, it should fit a DSLR (with a fairly big lens) with no problem.

I've been searching for a good bag to take my camera with me on road bike training rides. Saw this for 55 on sale. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Particularly, the waistbelt must be tight. You will still get a bit of a sweaty back on the worst days, but overall I was impressed with the performance of the bag in terms of air cooling. Brian,

My main reason for searching for a new backpack is to eliminate the "sweaty back" I have when I get to work. Does the suspended pack give your back enough room to breathe? Thank You for the review.

A lot of mountainbikers are using them instead of a Camelbak backpack. Jesmond, the above pack serves quite well for the needs you describe.

I had to replace the original fork with a carbon model (Kinesis bladed carbon with an alloy steerer). The frame was one of Trek's early forays into foreign production...a few models, including this one, were manufactured in Japan. The Japanese makers were true craftsmen...the brazing is so clean and perfect! no_ vice,

Camelbak bladder. It just didn't fit very well in that pocket. The new generation of Camelbak bladders is tapered toward the foot, and they appear like they'd fit better in that contoured pocket. In any case, I'll try out a couple and see what happens. Thanks again for your input!! What I meant by squared-off is a rectangular 70 oz. Camelbak bladder.
