But it's only a few months old, and I've used it half a dozens times for less than two months, always stored inside. The main difference I've noticed over the years with camera gear bags is how well the ballistic nylon or woven fabric holds up over time. No way to predict that based on price. I've had expensive bags fall apart prematurely and cheaper bags held up well; but usually you get what you pay for.
Thanks. Will keep a lookout for one.
