There is no doubt that they do a better job of protecting the contents than the Domke bags, but if it takes me 5 minutes to get my camera out of the bag, that bag is useless for me. This is why I gave up on Crumpler for photo gear--they are good for laptops etc., but I found them extremely inconvenient for walking around a city with camera gear.
