I have that UR bag. I must say that it's very durable. After about 3 years
of regular use it shows little sign of wear. I've managed to cary over 65
records in it with little trouble. With that kind of weight, I've found it
convenient to be able to turn it into a backpack whenever my walk turned out
to be further than I anticipated. The inside pocket in the front fits my
headphones and two Ortofon cartridge cases nicely. As for the outside
pocket, the fact that the headphone pocket is right behind it does tend to
limit the size and amount of stuff you can cary in there. Still, it's pretty
good for carying flat items like CDs and such. I will admit that the UR bag
was a bit more expensive than others on the market but the backpack feature
made it well worth the extra $$.

Hey list-
looking for some advice here.
I could use a new backpack for my vinyl. The best one I've seen are
the UR bags. They are made of strong material and have shoulder straps
so I can wear it like a backpack. They also stand upright when full of
record (some bags tip over) and have a large enough front pocket to
carry around a good amount of stuff. The only thing Im not so sure
about is the logo, I dont like wearing logos like underground
resistance because when I travel, I get flagged.
I might just get the UR bag, but I was wondering what you folks use?
If you really like a bag that has a) shoulder straps, b) stands up
right when full of record, c) strong material, and d) large
pockets...please let me know.
I really like my Shure bag.

Really heavy-duty and lots of pockets.
