My back no longer hurts after shoots :) Well made and great customer service if you have questions or any problems. The bags are designed my photographers and even listen to input from other photographers. They make a memory card holder called the Pocket Rocket which I love since it has a cord and clip on it to attach to their bags. If I pull the Pocket Rocket out and drop it,it just hangs from the bag.
