so im thinking about getting the winebar, has anyone has this bag? does it hold up good against weather, is it comfortable? too big?
or would the mahou bar be more reasonable?
i want a bag that i can carry anything i need in, i dont like messenger style bags, and i need something that holds up great in weather, aka keeps my **** dry
so far it looks like crumpler makes a pretty good bag, are there any other companies that make decent non messenger style bags that hold up good?

Bump! I'm curious about the mahoubar as well. Does anyone have experience with these in the rain? How waterproof are they?

Crumpler's bags are great, but for definite all-weather completely waterproof ****, I'd recommend an Ortleib Rolltop Messenger bag. Enormous, simple, completely****in'waterproof.

that mahou bar looks pretty nice....buut. $125. that's pretty steep.

Granted, I know nothing about this bag, but I own a Fux Deluxe and it is not waterproof. It leaks after about twenty minutes in the rain. That's been OK for me, since all other aspects have been great, but I'd say that Crumpler is on the second tier when it comes to weather protection.

I have an older Crumpler back pack. I carried it everyday for three years before the zipper gave out. The rest of the bag is still in pretty much new condition. I'm going to put a new zipper on it eventually. Incredibly comfortable bag.

I had the team player which used to be their largest backpack. I didn't feel like it was too big, in fact the main reason I haven't fixed it yet is because I bought a larger bag.
