Just picked up my 2nd Urth bag. I now have the Arkose 20l and the Norite 24l, both with the camera inserts.
I have just come back from a week away with the 20l and overall very impressed with it. I used it with a lighter weight insert I had to hand. The supplied ones are very good, but add a bit extra weight and bulk, but do have carry handles if you want to keep you kit to hand for a while.
The bags are very well made, I tried a few before these and I would say they are up there we the better ones build wise.
In the 20l the insert takes up about 1/2 the bag and in the 24l it takes up most of the bag. Both have Velcro dividers.
Plenty of other pockets and laptop section as well. These also don’t scream out camera bag.
The only negatives so far for me are no water bottle pockets on the outside and the way they suggest to carry a tripod leaves it swinging around on the side. But with the supplied straps, I have found that you you can carry a tri pod securely underneath the bags.
IIRC I paid £55 for the 20l and £50 for the 24l both new from EBay. From Urth they sell for £160 20l and £199 24l.
Both have quite good camera access with the inserts on the bag, slightly better on the 24l, you can unzip one or both sides of the insert and tuck the flap behind the insert and then access the insert from the bag side zips
