Anyone have experience using Gladstone camera bags?

[rick_robinson2]

I am looking for a larger camera bag for my dslr equipment. I was all

set to buy another Lowepro, when I started reading about the

Gladstone line of camera bags. They sound like exactly what I am

looking for. Has anyone used these bags? If so, how is the quality

and where can you buy one in the U.S.?

I think he's referring to the Gladstone line made by Camera Care Systems (CCS, http://www.ccscentre.co.uk/).

That makes more sense!

Yes, I am looking for the Gladstone bags by CGS. Has anyone owned and

used these bags? If so, how is the quality (vs. Billingham, etc.)?

Rick,

If the Gladstone is nearly as well made as the Heritage series go buy it. I am yet to see a

better quality bag than the heritage I bough recently. They seem to be definetly up to par

if not better built than the billinghams, the canvas feels amazingly tough and after testing

it in medium to heavy rain I recon it is actually waterproof.

So if you get a chance, make sure to check out the heritage as well. If I remember correctly

they are slightly more expensive than the Gladstone, but they may be worth the extra

money.

Best,

Phil
