Since the advertized thickness of these bags ("2 mil") offers little guarantee of uniform thickness among various brands, how does this brand fare? From the reviews it's clear that one maker's 2 mil bag is either substantially flimsier or stronger than another maker's 2 mil bag.

The brand of bag I purchased holds everything that I'm using it for just fine. I haven't had any problems with any of the bags.

There's nothing modular about this pack at all. There's "molle" on the outside to attach small pouches but nothing breaks down...well other than the integrity of the gear itself. Dont buy a Rothco for anything serious. If you're looking for a real pack you can truly depend on I'd look at maxpedition, kelty, tactical tailor, eagle and most of them will have "molle" attachment points. There are plenty of tier one options...Rothco is never one of them. Trust me, I bought this pack for civilian uses and it couldnt keep up with me. I returned it to them held together with 550 cord, 100mph tape and a grimlock.-Former 11bravo There's nothing modular about this pack at all.

Bags and cases are pretty subjective as they tend to be selected to meet specific photographer needs. I have 2 OMD bodies that I take whenever I go out to shoot along with 5 lenses of varying focal lengths, a Metz dedicated flash with external battery pack, cords and assorted small accessories. The bodies both have the grips and battery packs. I chose to go with a Lowepro backpack because of its quality construction , resistance to weather and ability to reconfigure the interior based upon what body/lens I want to have ready to grab from the bag. These bags can get a bit pricey but I figured that with $5K worth of equipment to carry around, it was worth it to buy some quality protection to port the gear. BTW: The Lowepro website has some great info on it to determine what will suit your needs (and I have no personal, professional or financial interest in Lowepro, I just think they produce a quality product).

They unfortunately are not labeled. But if you have tried DogiPot bags or Earth-Rated poop bags, I think they are as thick or thicker than either of those.--UPDATE: I found it: 12 micron thickness--not sure how that compares to "mil" measurements, though.

I purchased a bag off of SFBags.com - it is minimalistic - but really high quality. It is made specifically for the MacBook Air - size 13-2 - it is a sleeve, with a velcro flap, and a shoulder strap with a 'pad' on it to prevent slipping. Under a hundred bucks...weighs about 2 lbs.In addition, I purchased the Ethernet adaptor - we all have to use Ethernet at somepoint - an extra power cord, and the airline adaptor.I am absolutely loving the MBA - I used to lug around a 17" Dell - always making the 'decision' on whether to take it or not - based on weight, and size...unlike the Dell, I carry the MBA everywhere....Hey, what's the iPod battery settlement?

Let me check mine and see if I can give you an average mind you I use the 10mm jewel cases not the ultra thin ones....okay here we go each cell hold 30 jewel cases now if you times that by 30 you get around 360 cases. Hope this helps, Paul.

It depends on your skill level. I have a few different sizes and like utilizing different sizes for different techniques or various drills to develope different attributes. Bigger bags are slower and are better for burning out the shoulders. Smaller bags require more finesse and more speed, but might not give you the same type of workout. I like to start small and as I start to fatigue I switch to a larger bag to finish out my shoulders. I also prefer rubber bladders over vinyl. They're more durable and retain air pressure better in the cold. Less refilling them, but they're heavier. Which you don't want in your faster bags. Just my thoughts on it. My absolute favorites are the title bags, the red classic and the yellow. I have a couple everlasts and they're good but I love the red classic, I think I went with the five, but I'll spend 7 hours or so out in the garage hitting on a good night. Anyway I hope this helps.

Other responses are accurate. I would say if you have large binders or a need to carry books along with your laptop, this is definitely not on the larger side of the SwissGear backpacks. But the bigger ones get much spendier pretty quickly so you have to search for the right deal!

The thickness of the straps are fine, its just how they're sown into the bag. The strap stayed attached to the bag when it was carrying to much weight and the panel it was attached to ripped apart from the rest of the bag.

I have been using these for about 6 months. Much less expensive than the Food Saver bags. And the size is good for 2 people. By feel, I think they are the same thickness. I have not had any problems with them.

I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, I say no. I purchased a bag because it was smaller. I consider myself as a medium man. Suggesting, spend a little extra money get a better bet.

I am not sure what mil they are. But they are very sturdy and more than capable of being reused multiple times. They are thicker than the snack bag plastic of Ziplock, but not as thick as the storage bags.

Cant answer that...sorry....youll have to ask the actual shipper...I can say, however, that its nice enough material that you may not even notice, like myself. Its a really nice bag, great consistency with the filling, and is visually appealing, of course. Dont think youll regret it!

eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing). However if you can afford them I highly recommend a set of the Eagle Creek sil-nylon Pack-It Specter Cubes. These are extremely lightweight, strong and unlike most cubes they're water resistant. Worth the bucks. Get a basic set now and perhaps in the future by one or two more individual bags to best utilize the remaining space in your bag. These work well using the roll method to pack. See YouTube for tutorials on "Ranger Rolling" clothes. Don't forget disposable T-shirt shopping bags for shoe covers. http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Creek-Travel-Pack-It-Specter/dp/B007NZVY32/ref=sr_1_12?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1397843408&sr=1-12&keywords=eagle+creek+pack-it

To B. Langman,I recall reading your post when I went through them all, and wondered then, and now if there would be a penalty for abandoning two of the others? One has 5 layers, the other 7, and that makes for sturdier bags, I would think.If you couldn't use white garbage bags, and you responded to my initial quest for someone who has used all four types of bags, which of them was your favorite, and why?
