I am sold on Domke products, if I wanted canvas..... This time I did not. I wanted something that was weather proof. AFAIK, all are not weatherproof. I never did believe Jim Domke when he told me that canvas, when it gets wet, swells up and prevents rain from getting in......( Why I always carried a plastic trash bag, just in case.....) To be fair, Domke has a nice set of Synthetic bags that look quite useful. They are, however, substantially more money than the Lowepros. ThinkTank makes a nice bag, but the configurations did not suit me... Function first.... BTW, I will not purchase a bag unless I get to handle it in person. See how the bag works, try the fit on my body, and otherwise try my equipment in it. Is there any other way? The Billinghams and Foggs are not easily available, locally. Tenbas, Tamracs, Lowepros, even Thinktanks are. Frank Filippone Red735i at earthlink.net
