I looked at the R-106, but was afraid if I had it I'd be tempted to fill it,
and I don't have an assistant to carry it for me; also, I didn't want a bag
I had to take off to get into. I settled on the W-94 waist bag. It holds a
couple bodies, a couple lenses, a flash and all the little stuff. I can
wear it walking around or riding my pit bike, in back or in front, and the
top opens away from my body so I can access it without fighting the top
flap, and it has a front opening that's real nice for slipping a camera and
lens in and out without opening the whole bag. Seems to be solidly put
together, very rugged, well padded. I carried it all summer around the
track; road course, drag strip, dirt track, cycle races, even ice racing
last Saturday, as well as several concerts and other events; it doesn't
hardly looked used yet. So far, I like it.
