"cheap" looking and kind of looks like BD just wanted to slap a label on something. the materials aren't even listed. and BD doesn't have a lifetime warranty.

Edit; nylon srsly
And then they still haven't updated the vibe material, did they?
I can understand paying that much for camera bags or other specialty bags that are made with high quality material and have a warranty. But these.. I can't justify.
Yeah, and that's kind of the point I was trying to make. I already have and am still willing to pay good money for a good bag if it's well built (and priced) according to the intended purpose. In my case, my bags are both highly specialized for carrying heavy and expensive photography equipment. BD however is more just saying "If you need a duffel or messenger bag to store your stuff (and toys) when traveling or whatnot, we've now got one".
Sure if the quality and everything actually turns out to be really good then maybe they could compete with the larger bag-brands among the bigger BD fans who aren't afraid to show where they buy their adult toys without me wondering why someone would spend that much on a "bag with a brand on it". But for me, I'll stick to my beloved bags that already have proven themselves worthy of the price tag they carried.
