Domke RuggedWear reviews

F-5XZ RuggedWear Shoulder Bag is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 47.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from A Few Things Not Mentioned I am using mine for an Olympus OM-D. Plenty of room for the camera and a few lenses. Most comments are positive about the F-5XZ and I mostly agree. The F-5XZ is made of RuggedWear where the very similar F-5XC is made of classic Domke canvas. There is a feature on one that is not on the other that I missed before ordering. The 5XC employs a zippered compartment under the flap whereas the RuggedWear 5XZ does not. I am not sure why. I kept the bag but would have liked the compartment. As mentioned in other reviews, the velcro lid is indeed very loud so I quieted with a product sold by Timbuk 2. It is a velcro silencer strip and works perfectly with this bag. Quiets but still closes securely.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JMil from Great bag This bag holds my 60D with 18-135 lens mounted, 50mm prime, and a flash perfectly. There's not much room for anything else, but that keeps the bag nice and compact so it's great for using as a daily walk around bag. The strap is quite comfortable and since it's so light weight I can carry it all day no problem. Wax wear finish is very nice, I was skeptical of it at first but really like it. Like other reviewers, I just wish the front inside pockets were a little more useful and the velcro wasn't as loud. I attached a separate piece of velcro to the flap side to halfway cover the strip, so it's a lot more quiet now.
Rated 4 out of 5 by PhillFlash from A Little Short On Pockets I actually expected a bit more from this bag. Main shortcoming I find being the two front pockets are only 3-1/2 inches deep. They seem quite spill-out-able in that their width is one-half inch wider than the pocket is deep. I'd really have liked the bag much more if the pockets were a full six or seven inches deep. Otherwise, a great Domke bag. Fits a DSLR w/300mm (hood reversed). With the extra depth to the bag, I like to put a flash (straightened out) under an extra piece of surplus camera-bag-spacer-material for padding in the bottom. And ... hey, Jim! While I'm on a pocket-thing here, you could have at least put one in the flap (that'd been a nice touch).
Rated 3 out of 5 by James from Okay but not what I expected I was looking for a small bag to carry a range finder camera, a couple of small lenses and a few other accessories. I like the Domke concept but I found this item too tall for easy access. The huge flap gets in the way when open, and opening it makes so much noise because of the ample Velcro that candid shooting would be impossible. The small pockets under the flap are small and open (no closures at all), making them pretty impractical. I returned th bag with ease, thanks to B&H's excellent service. And I continue to search for that perfect bag.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ducati Dave from Camera bag that looks cool! In my search for a day bag I came across this little gem. It doesn't really look like a camera bag but functions really well for my DRF and alternately my DSLR. I can get just enough in it for wandering the city and it looks just big enough to look right as well. I try and limit how much gear I take with me so it works well for me as a light photography bag. May not be so suitable with big DSLR's and zooms however. But, my D700 and a couple of primes are tight but fine. Give it a go its a great price and product!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dudermort from Just what I wanted! This bag is exactly as described and what I needed to carry a few lenses for day trips. Not too small, not too big. Just hangs off my shoulder perfectly with no slippage. It handles two lens (80-400 & 35-75) for my D700 plus a few filters. Very well constructed.
Rated 5 out of 5 by edward from great bag for young photographers awesome bag for young and new photographers because it is lightweight, has enough room for body and some lenses, and is water water-resistant I use this bag for long walking trips and everyday photography
Rated 4 out of 5 by SEANSay from Domke does it almost again This bag is nondescript and offers a very low profile, perfect for working in crowds. The instant-vintage look waxwear finish, coupled with the padded, fully lined interior and a rain flap over a zip closure means gear stays dry in just about any conditions short of total immersion. Inside, an SLR (no vertical grip) with lens attached fits in vertical quick draw position, with space for 2 additional zooms, a zoom and a flash, or 3-4 primes (though the primes will have to sit on top of each other in cases or wraps). There's also a pair of small pockets under the rain flap, sized for filters or CF cards, and a large flat pocket on the back for maps, tickets, guide books, etc. Like other F-5Xs, the shoulder strap attaches with sturdy metal snap-hooks, making replacement or exchange with a super handle convenient. Also like the other F-5Xs, unfortunately, the bag eschews the typical Domke flap (with adjustable snap hook closure) for the aforementioned rain flap, which lacks the inverted pocket and is closed by a massive, self-sealing VELCRO strip that makes quick and/or silent access impossible. If it weren't for that rain flap closure, it would be a 5 star item.
