Any opinions on the Helikon Foxtrot ?

[Keith_Beef]

I've been looking at a few options for a smaller alternative to a daysack, especially for carrying photography gear. The Helikon Foxtrot popped up in my searches. It looks interesting, especially if I can easily add a couple of long pouches to the front for big and/or heavy lenses (e.g. 300mm f/4 L IS USM at 1.19 kg, 17 - 55mm f/2.8 IS at 645g).

I've not seen much chatter on here about this pack, other than one for sale a while ago.

Anybody got any experience, opinions?

I have one and love it. There are molle packs that can be attached to shoulder straps to carry a hydration bag and more sundries. For me, it is comfortable and practical for day hikes, etc.

I made the same mod seen here (not my post): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1835005976546722/posts/25730593643227954/

I've got one, I've taken it to the Moot the last couple of years, I'm a big fan.
The Helicon-Tex E&E Pouch fits very nicely on the hip belt MOLLE, I have one on one side and a CSL Canteen Pouch on the other.
It holds everything I need for a bimble around the woods, without needing an additional pack.
I'll be at the Moot this year, if you're going and want a look.
