Jesus that's a big bag. If I didn't have my 3N1-30, I'd totally pick that up.

There's a Crumpler's 7 Million Dollar Home going for $50 on Craigslist that I kind of want.

I have the 7. It's a nice bag but i hate the lack of pockets and the velcro straps.

every now and then i remember to check this thread - cool bags!

here's another, my long time traveling bag and daily for motorcycling to college - it's been with me on travel through japan, china, thailand, india and all over the US - favorite features? there's a top pocket by the handle on the inside of the neck, and the main compartment opens from inside - so yes, you remove it to open it, but that way no one has a zipper / oppertunity to open it...

my latest acquisition after seeing this thread - these were on sale at chrome just before xmas - i'm liking this one so far, very comfy (could use a waist strap, chest strap is good) very waterproof and roomy (however the openings to most pockets seem stiff)

Chrome Soyuz

That's a great bag. I used it every day when I was commuting on my bike. Only complaint is the shoe pockets are WAY too small.

Favorite bag now: Patagonia Chacabuco Pack 32L Backpack

That thing is awesome, and I can stuff so much crap in it. Also sits nicely in the front seat of my car, and the shoulder harness goes through the cinch strap to keep the bag from flying all over the place.

another one i'll have to admit I own (actually have two, got a good deal on the yellow one, also bought white)

Ergo Techno Hardshell 'hiking' bag - it's a copy of the Boblbee Metropolis bags (as seen in F&F movies)

they're really light for a hardshell bag, the straps are fairly comfy, if anything, placed too high on the bag (but that's for helmet clearance), waist and chest straps are good and the 'tail' is for lumbar - is hollow but doesnt add any space obviously. it's got a separate compartment for a laptop as well as a little separator which i used for flat documents $ papers, has a simple organizer pouch area. for what i paid, it was a great novelty bag really, attracts too much attention for daily use..

Has a padded sleeve inside for my laptop.

Basic usage, to and from work and school. Some backpacking and snowboarding use. Overall a solid bag. I've had it for 2-3 years and still not interested in replacing it.
