3. Lowepro Vertex 200 AW
Editors' rating: 8.3
The good: The Vertex 200AW has a sophisticated harness system, room for plenty of pro-level gear, including a 15.4-inch laptop, and has weather-resistant features, such as rubberized zippers and a built-in rain cover.
The bad: It doesn't come with a cell phone pouch and weighs 6.5 pounds even when empty.
The bottom line: If you need a bag to haul lots of photo gear through rugged terrain, Lowepro's Vertex 200 AW can get the job done.
