Why is crumpler bag so popular?

[Henessy]

Hi, I was wondering why crumpler bag is so popular.When I asked my friend, he told me that crumpler bags are slash proof.

Are they very good in terms of quality. How is the quality difference between lowepro and crumpler?

Not sure whether to get a stealth reporter or a crumpler bag to put my gears.

Thanks

lowepro.. dull colours, pricing cheaper than crumpler.
crumpler.. many colours, some quite bright.

lowepro bags with AW are also waterproof to a certain extent.

because singaporeans like expensive stuff... heehee

eerr..i feel younger carrying a crumpler.. wahhaa..
btw, i have crumpler and lowerpros lah.. depends on the occasion, then i decide which to use..

[synapseman]

Easy.

Because they look hip, yo.

But are crumpler bags waterproof?

[Henessy]

And are crumpler camera bags durable? Are the stichings strong?

So far, i have went into rain with my crumler bag, and they never disappoint me..be it big rain or small rain.

Do u know that time i went to wash my crumpler, so here's what i did,

i open the tap and let the water run into the bag..meaning make the whole bag inside full of water

and guess what? Water managed to seep out but its very very slow

and another test, i put my hand under the bag cover and use the shower head to spash on the cover.. Result = my hand is just "a bit" damp. Of course the shower head is splashing at FULL strength..

IF shower head at full strength splashing on it only causes a bit of dampness to ur hands, wat do u think is the impact of rain?


And not to mention: the quality is freaking good. Just go and get hold of ANY crumpler bag, and you will know what i mean by GOOD quality.. in my opinion, they are tougher than lowepro..

it is waterproof, looks nice, very strong and comes in all shapes and sizes. also very expensive so it gives the impression that u have money (when u really don't hahah)

They are better built. Padding is better than Lowepro..

i have got the crumpler farmer... crumpler 7million dollar bag.
no complain...
colourful.. makes a joy to carry...
also walked in the rain once.. water never got it.
but the main reason i carry it is because i like their colour selections.

got a 2nd hand tallee and a 7 million dollar home. my tallee got splashed by rain water that ran off a shop's canvas shelter, all was well. i have the tendency to stretch the capacity of my bags also, so far none has failed me.

[kelccm]

Funky vs bland....I choose the funky looking bag

[ExplorerZ]

I choose the cheapest i can get

[Henessy]

So crumpler bags are more durable than lowepro bags?

[Henessy]

What are the crumpler bags that can be used to carry camera gears?
