Tarion 27L
Score: 87/100
f-stop Navin Expandable Camera Carry Holster
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Navin Expandable Camera Carry Holster is a lightweight, waterproof pouch offering rapid top-loading access and versatile attachment options. Its tight fit for larger lenses and inability to carry multiple cameras are notable trade-offs. Best suited for adventure shooters using a single DSLR or mirrorless body with a medium-range lens.
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.

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.
“Very good quality, functional, easy to attach to backpacks/belts; solid protection for camera/lens during adventures; fits well (e.g., Canon 5D Mark III + 100-400mm).”
“Cannot effectively shorten for shorter lenses (tight due to full-frame diameter); needs extra length/diameter for better versatility.”
Professional reviewers and editors consider the Navin holster an excellent solution for run-and-gun photography, emphasizing its rapid top-loading zipper, robust waterproof construction, and versatile MOLLE/Gatekeeper mounting.
Everyday users consistently praise the holster's durable build, easy attachment to backpacks or belts, and reliable protection for a single ready-to-shoot camera setup.
