Does anyone know of some pretty good CHEAP camera bags i just really want enough space and slots to hold me T3i, Tamron 17-50, Canon 50mm and my Rokinon 8mm and some SD cards and maybe one that i could take skiing and set down in the snow and not have it be soaked and ruin my shit im open to pretty much anything and try to keep it under like 120 please.

PS: i saw a few other posts but all just suggested the dakine sequence.

oh ya and i want it to be a backpack not a messenger! thanks guys!

+K for anyone who helps!

you get what you pay for. i wouldn't cheap out on something that you're going to put your 600 dollar camera with 800 dollars worth of lenses in a cheapo bag to have it break and thus your camera break. plus it sounds like you're skiing with it. i don't have any personal recommendations, but don't cheap out.

I have the dakine mission, I love the amount that it can fit, I just wish it was a bit wider so I could fit my camera with my battery pack in it without it bulging. Still recommend it though

30 bucks. And I know it'll be good for you because I have basically the same setup

can you set the sequence or mission in the snow? or does it get all wet and soak your whole bag and ruin all your lenses and shit?

Setting it in snow will be completely fine. Everything is pretty well sealed. It also has a rain cover which makes it completely water resistant.

Yeah I've got the amazon basics one and I just stuff it inside my mission pack, enough room for 550d with grip and tamron 17-50 all attached, and a flash and a couple more lenses, plenty of slots for batteries/filters/remotes/sd cards

You should defenitly check out lowepro pror unner aw series! I have the aw 450 and it carries all of my gear with no problem ( its also possible to mount a glidecam and a tripod on your back!).
Its much more expensive but you get a much more solid bag i believe (mine is rock solid, seriously) But if you take a look at the aw 350.. You get space for all of your equipment and you have rest space that you can use for example for an extra sweatshirt for the colder days and more!!
Hope this was helpful!:)

If you want someting cheap look at this one, its not very solid but as long as you dont loose your bag it works great. I am very happy with mine for the price I paid, but if you have the mony I would say look at the more exspensive bags just to make sure your gear are a bit safer if you loose your bag.
