You can see the Aussie range on the .AU site if you want to compare model availability. The sizes five million and down have a narrower and simpler strap than mine. I especially like the angled attachment on mine that helps the bag sit very flat behind my hip. Plus the movable shoulder pad is very comfortable for my carry. The Velcro certainly needs considering for your style of use. If I want very rapid and quieter access, (and the reduced security is not an issue) then I just attach strips of the mating Velcro across the bags Velcro pad. You can set up for as little Velcro contact as suits or none at all. That leaves you with the quick release clasp only. I like the satchel style and of course some of the Fogg bags in that type appeal to me a great deal. I had some correspondence with bee and Nigel to order one last year, however Nigel blew out a hip, the waiting list was horrendous and finally, the cost for me was triple the Aussie product. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] now that i know what's in your bag, i need a new one Hi Hoppy, I have been using Crumpler bags for many years, practically since they first came out. I love the names and colours! I do find a few shortcomings for my use, particularly the excessively bulky straps and too much velcro (I hate velcro). The names are different in the UK, the "million dollar home" series is not available (or maybe with different names) in the UK. I have 3 bags and 2 laptop sleeves. Due to the velcro issue I have gone over to using either a Domke or Fogg bag, depending on the size required.
