I bought my first Chrome bag (the big one, 100$Nchange) in Berkeley early this year. I broke it in riding up and down the bay, tools in tote (did some contractor work but dont tell nobody). Its a simple no thrills design, flap top. just a big messenger bag(water resistant rubber liner). I stuffed that tamale to the gills. Fucker almost broke my shoulders(something like 65lbs), had to trim wight the whole trip(from Oakland to SATx). Train riding beat the shit out of me and my gear and cloths) But the pack did great, bravo chrome! They build um in SanFran, witch is pretty grovey.
