I have two LoewePro bags, a Stealth Reporter 200 AW and a little Nova 1. I use the Stealth with a lens case attached for the 10D with one or two normal or medium lenses plus a few accessories for short trips and shoots. It's too small to accomodate much, but otherwise a great little bag, good in bad weather. The lil Nova houses my F717 plus accessories only (when I don't want both cams along).
Most of the time (even around town), I carry all equipment in a LoewePro Photo Trekker Classic: two bodies, at least one long lens, wide angle zoom, a normal lens, filters, remote, card poch, cleaning equipment, manuals, everything. It's a large bag for what I have leaving enough space for chargers, cables, rain coat and whatnot. It lacks a built-in rain cover, which I depend on in these regions. I bought one separately for ten bucks at a mountain equipment store. I also purchased half a dozen straps to secure a heavy tripod in every conceivable position.
I like the Photo Trekker Classic, because it has great capacity without the bulk and extra weight of some packs I tried. It's also more comfortable to carry than the new and improved versions.
Another pack I tried and really liked was the CompuTrekker. A little shallow, perhaps (the computer compartment takes up an inch or so), but sufficiently roomy for most needs, light and soooo... comfortable.
I feel LoewePro makes decent equipment.
