The crumpler Stripper Ripper can fit camera gear, and laptop plus more in there.

If you are brave enough to go into the Crumpler website to check out some more info..........be my guest.

It can be had for £100 online delivered.

I've got a Crumpler Shrinkle Maxi, does everything you want but it really depends on how much you want to be in and out of the bag as its not really a easy bag to keep dipping into it.

Anyways Ich i'll catch you later

I have the Shrinkle. Your right it's not great for dipping into quickly, but that just means it's harder for anybody else too as well.

I really like the way the opening is against your back.

And I like the Crumpler web sites. Does that make me weird?

Not in charcoal! Tut

Thanx anyway

ichabod crane · 13 Dec 2006 at 21:35

keep lookin they are available in all colors for £99

The grey has gone from the retailer for the good price, the pink is girly (though nobody would steal my bag and camera) the other one is crumpler wierd. I'll have to hang on for the charcoal to come in stock I suppose.

They normally email when in stock if my memory serves me correctly.

Cheers anyway.

How have you found the Crumpler S/R? Is there anywhere for a tripod on it?

ichabod crane · 19 Dec 2006 at 23:20

Nice one, I am in the market too but there are very few case reviews out there and the shops around me dont really stock much to go and play with :mad:

I got a Formal Lounge from cyKey's recommendation. Great bag, will fit all your kit, plus lappy and loads of room for whatever else you need. Was on special for around 50 quid when i got it a couple of weeks ago. Bargain. Doesn't seem to be listed on that site now tho.

Well I finally found a grey one for 99 PLUS p and P. It does have hooks on for a tripod/monopod. Pretty good though the space for my lenses and flash plus body is a little tight. I'd have also liked to be able to remove the laptop sac but that isn't a real problem.

A nice looking tough bag with loads of room.
