Hi Tim, I have the Photo Trekker and a heap of Underwater Kinetics and Pelican case to house my gear, the hard cases aren't real good to trek with however they'll take a gargantuan spill in a canoe :-) Lowepro do have a hard case that fits into a back pack (Omni Trekker) but its huge and heavy. I fit a pair of LX with 3 short lenses and a long lens (100 macro), folding finder plus my Mamiya 7 with two lenses, finder and Gossen meter apart from film and other goodies (I have a pic if you'd like to see how they squash in). The DryZone 200 looks to be only a bit smaller than the PhotoTrekker. > Apparently, the Dryzone bag hasn't hit the street yet.

For my money the Lowepro gear is worth the cash, the back pack seem to fit pretty well and they're tough, I've ended up on my butt a few times and scraped it pretty badly and it's come through well. Also I always clean my gear after a grubby excursion and the first thing is a good swamping under the hose, if the zips are down up I can give it a drenching before it's wet inside and mine isn't even an AW, so I'd expect that they'd perform as advertised.
