Lowepro is a company who is not standing on its laurels but is cranking out
really nice designs with great application on a regular basis.. This one I
belive will be a glaring blooper this whole line of yellow very stiff
material that you have to roll down from a long tube or up to access or
store your gear. Obviously despite the rain when something is breaking fast
you need to get your gear in less than ten minutes. Reaching into a deep
think like that is insane.  And it does you no good tied to the top of your
kayak hermetically sealed from all intruders. Will take them a long time to
live this one down. I 'm betting the head of that shiny yellow design
division is already out of a job. But should land one soon. In fast food.

On my short list right now I'm getting a bag tomorrow is the
Lowepro - Urban Reporter 350 Camera Messanger bag for  $127.93 at B&H. A
Lowepro - Urban Reporter 250 Camera Messenger Bag $133.76
Lowepro - Urban Reporter 150 Camera Messenger Bag $109.95
Also a Lowepro - Pro Messenger Bag 160 AW (Slate Gray)  $99.95
Lowepro - Nova Sport 35L AW Camera Shoulder Bag (Slate Grey) $102.88

Ok not so short a list but its being narrowed down.
Also a:
Crumpler - 6 Million Dollar Home Bag (Black/Black) $115.00
Or the one in (Purple/Olive Green)!

Or a Domke - J-810 Ballistic Photo Satchel $69.99
I think the 811 is too big but I'm checking again.
