Lung: On the one hand, I certainly understand where you're coming from as I've been looking at bags for over a year and cost is definitely a factor. But (and not to be overly-critical of your post), I think it's kind of pushing the boundaries of the forum to ask for a lower-priced competitor. You do generally get what you pay for, especially if styling and materials are important. Fullylugged has given you some excellent alternatives. If you watch Craigslist and eBay, bargains do pop up. They even appear on this forum, if you're quick to respond. Otherwise, you might explore alternatives such as adapting another type of bag. The "Army surplus" stores seem to have a variety of utility bags and a pretty-reasonably priced. Or try to make your own. I've considered this myself but have not tried it yet. Good luck, Steve
