Hmm.. well, there is a good reason why.
Form and Functionality.
Crumpler bags have both. I have been using the Weenie for awhile now, while i'm shooting or when i go out. The inner bunion can be removed very easily so taht the outer sling bag can be converted into a normal sling bag. I can also slip my laptop into it's protective case, and then into the out sling bag. FIts just fine,
So you see, with one bag, i can use it to port mt camera, or my laptop, or use it for normal day/night outs. Don't think one could ask for me.
As for it's durability. Water resistant and the bunion can endure a heavy shower with the camera and gear inside staying dry. When one can be afforded with such a peace of mind, i reckon it isn't all that "poser" a bag that it is made out to be.
Besides, one is a poser only when he/she is doing something because he/she is following the crowd, but not when he/she knows what he/she is doing.
Think about it.
Now you must remember, consumer products are not longer just selling a product, they are selling a lifestyle, an image.
