'GOOD BAG, NICELY PADDED'
Strengths:
All weather cover keeps light rain off the bag.
Enough room for camera, spare batteries and a spare CF card.
Nice strong velcro belt loop.
Weaknesses:
Rain can still get at the back of the bag.
Supplied strap is a bit on the short side.
Overall:
I bought this because it matched my LA daysack (I know, so shallow...) but once I found the fold out raincover I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. Compared to other camera cases in this price range it has a fearsome amount of padding and my camera has escaped unscathed after days of walking and scrambling in the Peak. My only gripe is that the strap is only long enough to hang around the neck not slung across the body and the velcro belt loop makes no provision for attaching vertically, for attaching to the shoulder straps on a daysack.

Overall, I like it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

'A LOT FOR THE MONEY'
Strengths:
Tough material, padding, rain cover, good choice of sizes in range.
Weaknesses:
None
Overall:
I use the 25 for my camcorder, which fits nicely, along with the original battery as a spare. There's plenty of padding to protect the contents and the 2-way zips are a nice touch. It can fit on to your waist belt for easy access, to save you diving into your rucksack for that quick picture, although I've not put it there yet. The rain cover is a bonus.

Compared to anything else I've seen, and I've looked at everything possible, I believe that this range of pouches is excellent quality, excellent design and excellent value. Compare this to the rubbish flogged in chain store electronics shops at twice the price and you'll see what I mean.

I also have the D-Res 20AW which I use for my GPS, as it fits the Garmin 72/76 series perfectly. Compare this to the ultra-basic Garmin pouch and you'll see just how much better it is. I do however keep this one on my waistbelt as I like to check my altitude and distance to next waypoint pretty frequently.
