Mountainsmith Reflex II M

Date Published: 3/28/06

The Mountainsmith Reflex II M bag is the medium-size model of this style from this firm and it now has a considerably improved weatherproof zipper, which is less prone to jam.

It's suitable for photography or video equipment storage and protection. Adjustable internal dividers make it easy to customize inside to accommodate various sized items inside the well padded and fleece lined interior. A padded top also has an extension flap that covers the front when closed using a dual-pull zipper plus a push button, quick-release buckle.

Inside, the entire top is a zippered mesh storage area. A long zippered front flap is subdivided with pockets plus a zippered mesh storage area. On each end are large mesh storage pockets with a rubberized top closure. A nicely padded, permanently attached carrying handle is on the top and there is a removable padded shoulder carrying strap.

The medium model of the The Mountainsmith Reflex II M we received to review will easily accommodate an SLR body with lens attached, several extra mid-sized lenses, a hot shoe flash, and lots of film, media cards, and other needed accessories.

The Mountainsmith Reflex II M is very handsome in appearance and seems to be well made with easy working zippers and nice detailing.

Pros: improved weatherproof zipper, easy to customize
Cons: not as many features as some other bags
