Great holster bag
Great solution for hiking when used as a chest pack for instant accessibility while still be stable and resisting side-to-side motion. This solution leaves my back free to carry a small hydration pack with trail snacks. AW cover a plus should I encounter wet weather. Carries my Canon 7D body with EF 70-200 zoom mounted, no problem.
