Another Baggallini Question...

[dreamsofdisney]

I posted this within another thread, but I thought I'd ask here as well.

I'm planning on buying the Baggallini Messenger Bagg and Expandable Tote. I noticed that they were available in three fabrics: Ripstop Nylon, Crinkle Nylon, and Microfiber. I feel silly asking, but what's the difference? I'm leaning toward the Microfiber. Also, any pics of the bags would be VERY helpful...especially pics of someone wearing them.

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone out there knows.

I don't know about the differences in fabrics though.

I believe the ripstop fabric is exactly that, if the bag get sa tiny hole from wear, it will not get worse. Also, the ripstop bag is water resistant, especially great for those water rides! (I wore mine on a log ride two days ago and everything in my bag, including my camera, was nice and dry!)

I don't believe the microfiber is water resistant and my guess is that the crinkle nylon is not as durable.

I ended up just going to walmart, because i like the style of the bag, but the price was a little iffy for me.

I found a backpack with the same sort of 'across the chest' strap with cell/money holder for about 13 bucks. it's a little bigger than the baggalini, but i like the fact that i can bring snacks, water bottle, money, phone, and my passporter and still have some room for stuff i might buy.

Just my 2 cents

Someone did answer my fabric question when I posted it on another Baggallini thread. Here's a link, if you're interested:

I ended up getting both the Expandable Tote and Messenger Bagg in Black Microfiber. Boring color, but easy to coordinate and DH might be more willing to take a turn carrying it! I'll have my Lime Green Mickey Heads hanging from the zipper pulls! I think the Crinkle or Rip-Stop Nylon might have been a better choice for the park, but it sounded like I might like the look of the Microfiber better.

Have a Magical trip, everyone!
