Personally, I've got the "Gigabyte" bag from MEC. It's the third one 
I've had in over ten years. The zippers are what eventually fail, but I 
tend to carry a lot of heavy equipment as well as my laptop (think 
tools, external storage carriers, numerous hard drives, etc), so I don't 
blame the bag.

I just checked, and it looks like they've changed the design from what 
I've got. However, I've never been disappointed in anything I've gotten 
at MEC. They've got different sizes, too. The Gigabyte is 30l, the 
"Megabyte" is 21l.
