Yes
I've searched through the threads but not found the answer I'm looking for unfortunately.

I shoot mostly football, rugby and cricket.

I need a bag really just to carry my kit around in, no planes, no trekking etc. with a budget of £100 - £120 max, to carry the following ...

1 x 5D3 with a Sigma 150 - 500 Lens attached.

1 x 7d with a walkabout lens attached.

Facility to hold a tripod.

That's it folks, recommendations please. :D
 
I've been looking at the Lowepro 15L Flipside Sport Camera Bag

Which looks like it'll hold what you need it to, and it's rain-proof far as I can tell. Designed for rough and ready conditions.
 
I've got a Tamrac Expedition 9x and TBH it would be overkill for your needs but one of the other Expedition bags would suit. Very well made and fairly well protected from the weather. The 9x has a pocket on the front to carry a tripod and I assume they have the same on the other sizes. I've had 3 bags and they have all been Tamrac ones and still have 2 of them now.
 
Try Lowepro Runner or Vertex...I have the latter and it is very robust and will swallow a lot of gear
 
I can certainly vouch for the Lowepro Vertex 300. It's an excellent bag that can hold a ton of kit. The Pro Runner 450 AW is equally as good and both can usually be found for sale on Fleabay but expect to pay around £120 for a good 2nd hand Vertex.

Thanks for the suggestions one and all.

Following one, I visited MPB and picked up a second hand Lowepro Mini Trekker Classic for £38 incl P&P.

Just arrived and it's ideal. Can easily get a 5D with a 150-500 plus a 7D with a walk about lens on. There's also room left for a flash unit, if I want. It's very light and in good condition.

So again thanks for your help, it proved worthwhile. :thumbs:
