The size would probably work for me because it's a little larger than the Mercer 30, and I thought the was a nice size, I just didn't like the turnlock and something else bugged me about the Mercer 30 but I could never figure out what. The Rogue might be my perfect bag, if it's not too heavy, but I'd have to choose between that and the Outlaw...maybe the Outlaw will be the perfect bag. I'll see on Monday.I can handle heavy, well to a certain point. This regular size is 3 lbs and I wouldn't want one that weighed anymore than that. I don't carry a lot of things so I'm hoping this size will work. If it's too small I won't get the bigger one because of the weight. Fingers crossed!!
