Currently using a very cheap Tesco mission that cost me £2 and happened to be the exact dimensions of the cabin baggage max at the time. Zip has gone so either fossil or antler replacement will be deployed soon. Mel's Domke camera bag has been pressed into service before now too.

Actually, the +4 was quite a good machine.

small rucksack for me when I go out, usually containing my ipad, some chargers and maybe a change of smeggers and socks if the trip duration warrants it.
Although I'd be tempted by one of those Commodore ones.

Re: Man Bags - what's your weapon of choice?
I can't do messenger bags (they destroy my back), so I got one of these:
http://goincase.com/shop/incase-campus-pack#color/142
(although mine is grey & orange, which they don't seem to have anymore)
Looks elegant, feels sturdy, very comfortable, and it fits all my tech (13" MacBook, iPad, 3DS), a notepad, and a few pens with lots of room to spare.

Re: Man Bags - what's your weapon of choice?
Somewhere at home I still have a couple of bags I had when I was in the navy ..
Bit ugly certainly not fancy but virtually indestructible, they are made of some dunno what black fiber that is tearproof, cut proof, fire proof, water proof, but it's not the kind of bag you'd like to go around, they are also a bit a pain to carry as well ( for what I remember ) and quite oversized.
Also, they are permanently inscribed with your tag number so you should paint it over before to use it.
But yeah that's the kind of bag that can be dragged by a train and still won't have a scratch.

Incredibly I found a pic, this is how that bag looks ( but I can't remember having a chain ), except that with a special white marker they write the tag number all across once is assigned to you.

It feels like a cross between fiber and plastic, very study.
