 Too big and too small Feb 27, 2008
I ordered the Kata HB-207 GDC Hiker Backpack because my laptop would not fit in the R-103.
Unfortunately, it doesn't fit in this bag, either. My Dell Inspiron is 14" x 10-1/4" x 1-1/2". If the laptop section was just a tad deeper, my computer would fit, but it doesn't. Given how immense this bag is, it seems poorly thought-out to make the laptop compartment so thin.
It would be really helpful if they would give the maximum laptop size that would fit in the item description - all three dimensions.
Speaking of dimensions, the Amazon description of this bag is incorrect. It says it's 20". It's actually 25". I measured it myself, and the Kata specs say 25", too. (I should have checked with Kata before I ordered.) That makes this a really huge bag. Bigger than airline carry-on rules allow. While carry-on rules usually aren't strictly enforced, I wouldn't want to take the chance. Especially since airlines seem to be cracking down on everything these days. Plus, I just don't want to lug around a bag this large.
I returned it, and bought the Lowepro Rolling CompuTrekker Plus AW Camera Bag instead. So far, I am very happy with it.

 very well built but giant Feb 13, 2008
Kata products are unbelievably well thought through and the build quality is fantanstic. Be aware that they are made for a very large males, and are heavy. I'm 5'5" and had to return the HB-207 because it was huge, and wouldn't fit my frame.
There are tons of pockets, straps, interior accesories like mesh bags with velcro that come with the pack that I didn't expect. If the size will work for you, the "systems" kata offers are like nothing else available.

 HB-207, just to large for normal use Jan 26, 2008
This backpack is great. It secures everything you'll put in perfectly. It is convenient it is comfortable, etc. The only thing I somehow missed it is so BIG, LARGE, HUGE!!!!!
It is like carrying truck on your back.
It is really perfect... I guess for a profi holding several bodies and lenses and tripod and flash and laptop and... and.... and...
And it seems to be just to large for us normal humans............

Roomy enough for my 17" Dell wide screen, Nikon D70 with lenses and other accessories. Harness system will adjust to your comfort easily. Construction is to quality. It will likely hold more than you would like to tote around all day, but if the need arises, it will ease the pain.

A well crafted bag that is near perfect Jul 02, 2007
After searching through reviews online, I decided to purchase the HB-207. Users had lauded its comfort, ease of use, and versatility. The bag is very sturdy, comfortably designed, and has the capability of holding a ton of equipment. In fact, there are times when I have loaded down the bag to the point that it didn't meet airline carry-on weight expectations. Nevertheless, because it is a backpack, I've never been asked to weigh it or check it at the airline counter.
The bag is a bit large for casual use. I would not recommended it as a day pack due to its bulky girth. The bag is also not as convenient as a traditional shoulder bag when it comes to accessing your gear. Despite its size, however, it still comfortably fits in an airline luggage compartment.
The rear laptop compartment fits a bit snug. If you are using a Mac or a small, slim computer, you should be fine. But if your computer measures greater than 15 1/2" x 11" x 2", you'll be shoving and prodding just to get it to fit.
In conclusion, the bag's pros consist of sturdy, well-crafted design, comfort, space, versatility, and, to a degree, inconspicuousness. The cons might be it's lack of easy access on the field and its girth, rendering it useless for day trips. But the bags pros far outweigh the cons.
