Upgrading Bag

zach30345

I currently own the Adorama Joe Farance Bag (http://www.adorama.com/GBRBK.html) but its fallen apart pretty quickly (both straps have snapped, and the sides are tearing) so im looking into upgrading to a thinktank bag but online its hard to tell what one to get, they all look pretty similiar, I want to spend no more than $250 but want a bag of approximately the same dimensions, what would you guys recommend from your past experience?

Trying to find a good bag right now myself. I still have a "high sierra" that I bought when Ford was president.. and still looks like new. All the zippers work perfect. I cant find them anymore probably long gone.
Hate to order one as you said..they look the same.
I did find this tonight but still need to comb the site some more. But they look to have some decent looking stuff.

Have you looked at the Pelican PCS 247? A lot of people don't know that Pelican makes a great rolling suitcase that isn't hard plastic. It's carry-on size, built like a tank and it's under $200!

My girlfriend just got the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001K2GQRI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=dpr-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B001K2GQRI and I am REALLY impressed. I'd be happy to give you a tour of it via skype later or answer any questions. Feels rock solid but doesn't weight a ton empty. Comes with slick laptop case, all the buckles feel sturdy and beefy. It happily holds 5DM2, 7D, a bunch of lenses (none of them a 70-200) , 3 flashes, a 15" macbook, and other small bits. Hope that helps!
