I also forgot to point out that my bags are cotton canvas which is a renewable resource and can be repaired, and re-proofed using fairly non noxious coatings. Once nylon tears out at a seam you are pretty much out of luck. I have no problem with something like an Arkel bag for heavy tour use. But wish I had found Carradice 25 years ago
