So my first question is would you recommend me going to a FADE Crunch as it's around the same size, but with some extras or should I pony up the extra $$ for the Tourney edition? Question 2 would be if not going with a FADE bag, what would be another good option? I'm definitely NOT looking to break the bank, so no Grips, or those other super fancy pants guys! I'd say $50 would be the top.

I appreciate the suggestions!
I have a fade tourney I would probably let go of for 35 bucks shipped... It's probably 7/10 and has the waterproof spray bottom. Loved the bag, but wanted to upgrade for the built in seat.

So you're saying that they _do_ stand behind them, which is important, because they do also fall apart quickly?

I noticed, with some concern, that they've backed off on some of their warranty/guarantee language. But, in practice, do they still exchange merchandise that dies an early death?

my fade bag has lasted about 2 years, I played 1 year hard with it, and switched between a few bags for the second. No tares or anything.

Got my Fade Tourney bag for xmas in 2010 ($45 shipped ) and it's still in great shape. It has more room than I need. I'll re-waterproof the bottom this year. When it finally wears out, I'll probably get another.

I always recommend the Lat 64 Pro Bag. Huge spaces for anything you would want, at a very good price. A little above your given price range but well worth it. And also a benefit, the shoulder strap that comes with it is the BEST standard strap and unless you absolutely load the bag down, you don't need the backpack straps.
