Doing Nothing
Looking for some input here.
I've been using a backpack style bag for six years now and liked it, but I'm getting tired of having to play Tetris to get all my stuff in, especially when I just want to throw my gear in and go. So I'm thinking of getting a regular bag again.
I noticed that bags today have a different design than they used to. They used to be long duffel bags with tons of pockets and stuff, now it seems like they are going more to the pro style where it's just a big bag with a ton of room. I also see that the roller bags are less like suitcases and more like pro bags with wheels on one end, and are a lot lighter. Lastly, before they used to have shoulder straps and now it seems you just carry them in your hand.
What kind of bag do you prefer? Have you gone to a pro style bag and then missed the pockets? Or did you find that having the extra space made it really nice to pack up gear?
Also, do you like the roller bags or is that just a waste of money?
Double also, any recommendations for good bags that aren't a ton of money?
