I couldn’t agree much more but a company that existed earlier doesn’t mean they are the one that who invented it first hand, and in this case they aren’t. Please pardon me for bringing this up from the first comment that I’ve made. I just can’t relate to this bag at all.

I like the incase backpack, the grey is quite stylish and it has that lowepro flipback access for the rest, I’m paranoid like a traveler to china. I’m not a skater, so what do I know.

Just buy a kata bag, they were designed for military photojournalists and it shows.

That’s “skate” inspired? Who on earth did their market research? As a member of the skate culture I’m actually offended by this design, if anything these were made for teenagers. No photographer who has any self decency would ever walk around toting one of these flashy bags.

Very interesting! I live in Stockholm, and haven’t heard anything about this brand before.

Well Sulhan, these guys have been making camera bags since before Incase, so there goes your theory. Anyways, design will always divide people.

Firstly, I don’t see what’s it so different compared to the new Incase Camera Bags 2012. It’s just a bunch of rip off ideas taken from elsewhere and being put together to produce a bag. I dig the idea of the sling bag though, having to fit 2-3 lenses and a camera body + a laptop. Something that I can’t seem to fit it in any other bag beside a backpack but the backpack was made for a purpose, to sustain and support heavy equipment from our shoulder, using a sling bag with that amount of item in it could literally make one suffer through out the day. Especially, photographers who are on the move. Oh, and the colors are damn crappy. Bright yellow, blue and neon green? The last thing I wouldn’t want is me grabbing the attention of the whole world on my bag and with a bunch of expensive equipment in it that could increase the chances of getting stolen away.
