If your looking at hiking with a backpack, you can take a look at F-stop gear. I just ordered their Tilopa series pack for hiking/travelling. From the personal reviews that I read on POTN the bag is quality made bag.

The Tilopa is more like a day pack, and the Satori an expedition pack. You can also order different size ICU to utilize space more. smaller ICU for less camera gear, and more hiking/camping gear. The pack is also weather resistant, with waterproof zippers. There is also a hidden compartment at the bottom for to store a rain cover.

I haven't received the bag yet, but looking forward to it. I just ordered it on Friday. I wouldn't want to lug a pelican case around while hiking.

I made the decision to buy the bag after looking at the Dakine Sequence, Lowerpro bags, and Tamrac. I found the F-stop gear is more suited for my needs, and the customization options, along with their Molle strap system benefited in the long run.
