Scott, you have to look at Tamrac.
I've always been a big fan of Tamrac and still are, but they have one weak point: their cast metal shackles and the plastic locks attached to the various straps. I've saved my entire medium format gear by the skin of my teeth when one of the metal shackles decided it had had enough. A second later the whole gear would have disappeared forever in the depths of Canal Albert near Liège. As usual with light metal castings they break without any warning whatsoever. I've had several of them fail over the years. Tamrac replaced the defective parts no questions asked but the consequential damage could have been far greater. The plastic locks also tend to break. NEVER EVER lift a Tamrac bag at the handle on top if you haven't closed the zippers but only the plastic closures. Close the zippers or lift it at the shoulder strap. Shouldn't be a prob with their backpacks but you all have been warned. Ralf -- Ralf R.
