I tried Lowepro FastPack 250 and found some of its lens 'rooms' are too narrow, therefore I bought FastPack 350 for my airplane (carry-on) and cruise trip. Like the 350 harness. The 350 seems a little bulky, a little hard to rotate from back to sling to pull out the camera. Wish 250 has larger lens rooms, or 350 is a little smaller. Will try this 350 on my airplane/cruise trip.

Another choice is Tamrac 3385 with rain resistant zippers, its size seems good, but I saw broken zipper on a store sample. :(
