Been looking for a rugged camera bag for my new rig. Colossus fits the bill perfectly. The bag seems designed for the outdoor photographer. Lid opens away from your body when wearing it. The main body is amply padded compared to other maxped bags.

How's the weather sealing on that? I have tried dozens of bags and have found myself going back to the same two. A billingham Hadley and a bailey bike works small with a domke insert. I find these two to be truly rainproof.
 
Nice set up, thanks for sharing. I have been looking for a bag to replace the one I have now. Liking the look of the Khaki/foliage one.
 
I used my Colossus (foliage) as an optics bag when we went to Alaska this year. I added a Janus pouch to hold a compact camera, a padded 6x9 pouch to hold a compact spotting scope and strapped a carbon fiber monopod to side. My tablet fit in the back concealed carry pouch. I used a small backpack rain cover to protect the gear, which wasn't ideal, but did the job. Before the Colossus I used a Jumbo as an optics bag, but the Colossus is much better suited for that application.
