I have owned a few bags, last one was the Kadet Max Sling (not the WP) brown with the suede front. I had to get the WP one. I don't generally walk around/bike around when it rains but i wanted to have the option to not have to worry about it. I purchased the WP/black version and I love it, from the seams to the wp zippers. it all looks amazing and feels like a real bag. the only thing i had to do was upgrade the buckle as it came with a plastic one and not a seatbelt style one. I obviously got the shinny chrome one and it is now my EDC bag.
