Brilliant construction and fits so well to your body. tight fit that the protects the camera, padding that doesn't protrude onto your body as you walk for hours and opens up quickly to capture the image of that fawn. i used this on a full day hike in yosemite. it was raining, but light enough that it didn't seep into the case or through the waterproof zippers.
be wary though that the first image is for the case and the backpack and that is not fair to the product which you are buying (which is the camera case only)

The Access is a great camera bag for hiking, biking, skiing, and probably any other activity that you need both hands for and don't want a camera or another bag swinging around your neck or shoulder. The Access keeps everything in place and very easily accessible. The "tensiflex" system is an elastic spandex type of material that does a great job of holding the camera in place without applying too much pressure. The pack is very comfortable to wear. It distributes weight well and doesn't make me hot while wearing it. It probably isn't the best pack for everyday camera carrying or urban tourism. It is going to look a little odd because it is so unique. However, there is an interchangeable shoulder strap that allows you to carry the pack like a normal camera bag. My only complaint is that I was unable to tighten the waist strap enough to keep the bag from bouncing around a little when I ran. It is secure enough that it isn't smacking me in the chest every stride, but it does wobble around quite a bit. I'm only 5'7" and have a 30 inch waist, so this may not be a problem for everyone. I think this pack will be with me for a long time and go on many hikes and rides. I would certainly buy another if I lost this one. I do not have the Clik Elite backpack that this pack is able to clip onto, so I have no idea how the whole system works together.Best Deals for Clik Elite CE615BU Access - Blue
I am an avid hiker/climber who needs quick access to my camera when I hike. That's why I bought this Clik Elite pouch.Overall, it is not bad but there are better and cheaper alternatives.
1. The shoulder harness is made of comfortable mesh, but the way it is designed interrupts when wearing a backpack. It is not comfortable wearing this then a backpack over it. It does provide Velcro attachments to attach to your existing backpack, but it is far from practice which leads to my second point.
2. If you use the Velcro attachments to attach the pouch to your backpack, this works but makes removing the backpack very complicated. You have to unclick all buckles, put aside your camera, then remove the backpack. The Velcro attachment points, especially the lower ones don't stay put (if you don't have Clik Elite's proprietary backpack).
3. Even when worn properly, it is not as secured to the body especially if I am leaning forward (such as when climbing/scrambling steep rocks). There is significant side-to-side and front-to-back movements.
4. You still need a neck strap to prevent the camera from flying out and falling when you are in a hurry.
The bottom line is, I haven't found a perfect solution to my need, and this product in my opinion is too complicated. I found that a simple neoprene pouch from OP Tech combined with a good shoulder/neck strap works better and more flexible (you still have to remove the camera before taking off the backpack, but it is quicker than unclick four things and having to deal with the chest harness).
Honest reviews on Clik Elite CE615BU Access - Blue
Took the strain off my neck and protected the camera from swinging and bumping into things. It tended to ride up I'm 6' 2" but the straps were generally long enough to adjust. The one sided zipper made pulling the camera out hard sometimes and a two sided zipper might be better. I will order the telephoto model since much of the time I did need that lens and it fit poorly in this pack ( not the fault of this product I misjudged my needs.)Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Clik Elite CE615BU Access - Blue
