I just measured mine: it's about 13" - 14" thick at the bottom and about 9" thick at the top (meaning it would stick out 13" to 14" from your lower back). If you had a big frame/build, it may be a great backpacking bag. I just don't want to give you misleading information. But it's solid and extremely well built! I hope this helps.

Well I was intending to go hiking with it, something like a 2d-trip in the mountains. The major problem with my previous backpack (Lowepro CompuTrekker AW) is that it's just too small for me (not just for my camera gear ) so it has to be a large backpack.
I really don't want to disassemble the camera any more, that's such a waste of time! And even if I disassemble it, it still uses up all the space in the backpack so nothing else fits in there except for the light meter and 5 double sheet holders and...well, that's it -.-
After all I don't have many choices, I could go with a hard/softcase but that'd be way more uncomfortable than a large backpack
