Score: 80/100
Tarion 27L
Score: 87/100Rankings
The Tarion 27L Large Waterproof Backpack provides extensive storage, a dedicated laptop sleeve and robust weather protection for professional photographers. Its weight and lack of internal tripod space make it less ideal for ultralight users. Best for creators who need to carry multiple bodies, lenses, a laptop and accessories on demanding trips.
The Pelican 1510 case provides FAA-approved, waterproof, crush-proof protection with integrated wheels and a lifetime warranty, making it a robust travel solution. Its bulk and weight can be cumbersome for some users. Best suited for field technicians and photographers requiring buoyancy and heavy-duty durability.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the Tarion PB01 for its massive 27L capacity, fully customizable dividers, and rugged, water-resistant build that suits demanding travel and outdoor shoots. They also note its ergonomic comfort and all-weather readiness, while flagging its substantial weight, lack of internal tripod storage, and slightly inconvenient laptop access as trade-offs for the extensive functionality.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the bag's organizational depth-especially the dedicated pockets for accessories and the easy camera/laptop placement-while also highlighting the rain cover as a valuable addition. The most common complaints revolve around the bag's overall heaviness, the inability to store a tripod internally, and the awkwardness of reaching the laptop compartment.
