Anyone own a Crumpler bag?

I stumbled upon them yesterday whilst browsing the web, and from what I can see they look like pretty good.

I currently have a rather good, but extremely drab laptop bag which is starting to show its age. I like the idea of the layout of the crumplers being able to hold laptop, standard digital camera and also an SLR and LENS.

Anyone got one? What do you think? If not a crumpler any other recommendations?

TIA

You can, but it'll be HEAVY with all that gear. It's heavy enough with just my DSLR stuff.

It'll be heavy if you fill it with heavy stuff?

Ground breaking revelation there, very insightful Raymond

i love mine!
i have 2, a small day bag and a messenger bag - they're tough, they get abused and still look good and last well

my better half has the 'matchmaker' and it fits in his D200, a few lenses, macbook pro and other bits of stuff

I have a few and like them all, they aren't cheap though. See if you can find someone who works in distribution/reseller world, the markup on them is insane. I bought mine through work and got ~40% off the shop price and we only sell 40-50 a year!

Thanks for the advice. Must admit I was a little shocked when I looked at some of the prices on their website. Even with the current exchange rate they're a little pricey.
