I am currently using Peak Design's everyday backpack 30L. In it (or strapped to it) I can carry the following: A1 with Tamron 50-40mounted, A7 IV with Sony 24-105 mounted, 2-3 spare lenses of varying sizes like 24mm, 135mm, and a 70-200. Spare batteries, strap/PD Clip/wrist strap, spare caps, spare cards, lens cleaning materials like wet wipes, lens tissue, and a microfiber cloth, ear protection, business cards, tripod or small folding chair, water bottle, spare socks/T shirt, hoodie, etc. One of these days I should take a photo of the bag with everything unpacked. It isn't light. For smaller outings I use a Tenba Solstice 10L sling which allows me to carry a camera with a couple of lenses, the ancillary items, and a small tripod or monopod I also have a Vanguard Alta Sky 53, which is big enough but not laid out as well, and the bag itself weighs 6 lbs. empty. The Peak Design is half that. You will want a bag with a sternum strap and waist strap, but you will also want it to carry high on your back to reduce fatigue. Try to put most of the weight near the top and lighter articles toward the bottom. -

Thank you. I only wish I had camera store near me so I could look at them -
While I cannot help you with specific models and the amount of stuff that I carry with me is much lower, I have been buying camera bags since the '80s and I have been experiencing with several brands. I had horrible experiences with some, such as a shoulder strap failure while walking on a mountain trail or backpack zippers that broke while walking in a city, leaving all my gear exposed to people behind my back. The brand that I never regretted buying is Lowepro, I still use a backpack that I bought in 1996 and that I love because it does not scream "camera inside" but looks like a business one. I still have all the Lowepro equipment that I bought and the one that I gave away, it was because I did no longer need it, not because of failure. Therefore my advice is to take a look at their product range if there is something that fits your needs.
