The Compagnon Backpack Gen III is the backpack that I feel slaps every corporately bought influencer in the face — and I love it. I remember a famous YouTuber once telling me that canvas bags aren’t worth their hassle because they’re too heavy. Yet I’ve consistently asked manufacturers to make canvas rolltop backpacks for photographers. But no one did — or at least noone made them very well. Just like body weight, it’s all about how you wear the weight on your body. I’m 5’6″ and range between 168 to 174lbs with only around 15% body fat. By many standards, I’m considered overweight — but I wear it well and am considered incredibly healthy. And with the Compagnon Backpack Gen III, we truly just have to get over the idea of the number fixation.
