The reviewer reported that attaching the optional GearUp PRO Box was fiddly and that smaller items lacked enough separate storage compartments. Exterior straps and webbing secure sporting equipment, while the side pouch accommodates a compact tripod or a water bottle. When rain becomes heavier, the reviewer could retrieve an integrated weather wrap and fit it over the entire backpack.
The reviewer noted that much of the backpack uses recycled material, supporting Lowepro’s stated sustainability approach. Padding, flexible mesh-covered shoulder straps, and a padded waist belt made the backpack comfortable while helping distribute the load.
Reported strengths
- The reviewer found the PhotoSport X comfortable to carry and able to keep equipment safe and dry during outdoor adventures.
- Without the optional camera box, the capacious main compartment is better suited to carrying sporting equipment than organizing photography gear.
- Exterior straps and webbing secure sporting equipment, while the side pouch accommodates a compact tripod or a water bottle.
Reported trade-offs
- The backpack includes weather protection, smartphone storage, exterior shock-cord attachment points, and a pouch for a tripod or water bottle.
- The reviewer reported that attaching the optional GearUp PRO Box was fiddly and that smaller items lacked enough separate storage compartments.
- When the backpack was opened flat for access, the main carrying straps sometimes flopped over the opening and obstructed the contents.
