After getting my new camera, i decided the next thing on the list should be a new bag, so i have kept my eye for one, trying to find one that was suitable and not silly money, which is quite hard for me to do

so to my delight a nice chap put for sale a LowePro Vertax 300 AW, perfect i thought when looking at the specs and reviews, even the video reviews.

Today the courier delivered it and it looked like she had 20KG of spuds in her hand by the size of the brown paper wrapping

The bag is huge, W33xD26xH55 which is just 1cm larger than Jet2 hand baggage allowance

Glad your camera bag arrived! Have your Aigle Welles arrived yet? I ordered same day as you I think, and keep getting an email saying they are not ready to be dispatched yet? Got the bag and Welly jack, but no rubber! - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!

I have this one, tons of room and a tad smaller than the 300AW I think.

33 x 26 x 55 mines a little bit bigger as the Tarmac is 23 x 16 x 33

Might have been better with the 200  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Fingers crossed they'll be here soon maybe I ordered a popular size and they are backed up with orders?

yes, nice well made and comfy, though I'm a 11, and they are are 11, but unsure if they are a little loose
