Manfrotto or Nomatic? The Most Popular Camera Bag vs. My Camera Bag

My search for the "perfect camera bag" lead me to the Manfrotto Pro Light Backloader last summer, which is really fantastic– but there are a few areas where it’s not perfect. The Nomatic Peter McKinnon Everyday Camera Backpack is one of the most popular and well-reviewed bags around, so I decided to try it out and see if it outperforms the Manfrotto (spoiler: I ended up returning it).
