F stop backpacks1/29/2024 ![]() The shoulder straps, for example, aren’t thick and bulky, but they’re reasonably wide and have high-density padding. I attribute this to F-Stop’s choice of materials. I carried the F-Stop Kashmir UL 30L fully laden on several 4 and 5-mile walks and at the end, my shoulders felt as fresh as they did at the start. It takes a while to find the right configuration for your bag and if you’re the type of photographer who uses different kit for different shoots, you may find it a pain or want to invest in a second ICU. The Velcro holds the mess in place while the zip lets you access your kit. This is basically a strip of mesh with a zip down its centre and velcro along each edge. That’s fine with most cameras and lenses, but small optics and some accessories may fall to the bottom of the bag.į-Stop has a solution for this too, the ICU Gate. The solution is to fold the ICU flap down and tuck it out of the way. Initially, I kept the ICU zipped closed in the backpack because it seems the most secure, but I soon realised that this was awkward to open and close when it’s inside the bag. That means you need to take the pack off your back before you can get at your kit. You can access the main compartment via a zip at the top of the backpack, but the easiest way to reach your gear in the ICU is via the large zip around the back panel. It also sheds the odd raindrop but there’s an optional raincover available if you’re planning on walking in bad weather for an extended period. ![]() The fabric of the F-Stop Kashmir UL 30L is lightweight but it feels very tough and durable.
