[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I went to the Filson site and it looks like the Medium Rugged Twill Field Bag (#232) is smaller than the Small Rugged Twill Carry On Bag (#240). Which is set up better for camera equipment and for the Billingham inserts? Also, how do these bags compare to the Billinghams in terms of quality or ease of use? Thanks.
