Default The Tale of Four Tail Bags! HELP!

Okay, I'm looking for some honest input here. I am stuck between 4 bags and would like some forum input to help me make my decision. The camo bag is fugly but an exceptional deal and the Fieldsheer is also priced to move. What do you all think?

ive got number 3, myself. I honestly like it, it holds plenty of cargo, and is expandable, but most importantly it is CHEAP. plus its got a rain cover and works great with a bungie or two on the back for extra gear.

The cons, though, are that i had some stictching come out due to over packing, and the straps that came with it left something to be desired. Fixed the stitching easily, and If you dont mind using your own tiedowns though i'd definately suggest it.

oh it also has straps to wear as a backpack if your into that sort of thing.

Thanks Bro! So you have the EXL bag correct? That bag ships for about $60. Actually, I picked four bags that are about the same price shipped but I'm not sure about any of them. Thanks again for your input tho'!

None of the above?

Are those bags even big enough to pack for more than a day?

Just to throw a kink in the mix, here's the bag I use. I have the large one.

I've got the Oxford version of that one in the first link. holds quite a bit. the Oxford version is pretty well constructed. heavy duty everything.

of course mine is green and says Ninja on it though.
I got mine at Daytona Bike Week a few years ago.

Yea... I'm not YOU! If I use this bag even one more time this year, I'll be surprised!

I'm leaning towards the Fieldsheer or Cargo... both have really good reviews. I don't know about the cargo and how high it goes but it does seem to have a greater capacity at 45 liters.
