Photoflex bags?

[Technographer]

Anyone heard/used Photoflex's line of camera bags? I just came across this while searching. Don't know if there any good or not though.

Photoflex had, back in the '90s, a line of camera bags that they designed in cooperation with the late Galen Rowell. They, for some reason, dropped the line a few years ago; it's possible these are excess stock they had sitting in a warehouse somewhere from that venture. I don't recall that they had a later flirtation with ccamera bags. If they're the Galen Rowell bags, they'd be good, but I couldn't say whether they are or not.

They are the best in 90's! I had their bag with belt and strip across my chest and shoulder.

It is perfect for ride on bike, climb mountain, long hike, etc... and this reduced my back/shoulder from stress.

Now, very hard to find their bags at camera stores.:cry:

Yes, I know Rowell so well. Tell me, how did he pass away? He was not really old man,that I believed.

Rowell and his wife were killed in an airplane crash several years ago.

Oh Jesus Christ! Poor them.

They were coming back from a major trip (Alaska, IIRC) when it happened; small plane (not theirs) taking them back home from SFO. His kids just published a retrospective volume (http://www.mountainlight.com/books/retro.shtml).
