I like the the look of the crumpler X million dollar bags, but i understand they are not really sealed in any significant way.
Since i live in AZ and we get a significant dust from time to time, anyone know a good weather resistant bag or is there a crumpler that offers this?

if you want to have a truly sealed bag check out the lowepro dryzone series
i use the dryzone 200 (the largest in the series) and it is 100% waterproof/dustproof/whateverproof. The zipper isn't a ton of fun, but if you keep it properly lubed you'll be just fine.

I have the 7 M Home...it's definitely not sealed. Not even close. That being said, I've never had a problem with getting dust on my equipment while in the bag.
I also have the Brazillion Dollar Home bag. Same situation.

Never had a problem with my 5MDH or 7MDH. But I would still suggest something that zips just in case. They're not sealed, but they are pretty well guarded with how the flaps fold over and all.
Guess it depend son how often you think you're going to be out in that kind of weather (wind and sand). I don't know AZ weather so I can't say. I FL weather and despite the rain, my crumplers have done fine.

I have a December Quarter and it was thrown into the back of the 4x4s we had in Africa on a daily basis. It was a very dusty environment. I just checked and there is no dust in there, but there is lots outside.

I have a 4 and 7MDH and if I were walking in the mountains outside Phoenix I would not use it. Get something better sealed. I however live in Chicago and dust isn't an issue so the Crumplers are perfect.
