National Geographic Africa Series vs Lowepro Adventura Series camera bag?

Which of these if price was the same would you rather have? I know the name but don't know the quality of the National Geographic bags? Are these just branded bags from China or are they actually making these?

I'd go with the Lowepro, only because I have zero knowledge of the other bag

Nikon D90 & D40 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 35mm, 50mm, 105mm, SB600

Try Think Tank. They're better than Lowepro. Lowepro tend to over pad their bags (making them bulky) and the workmanship is not what it used to be with those bags. Think tank on the other had are very well designed (in fact Lowepro have almost completely copied the Think Tank Retrospective bag with their newish Pro Messenger series of bags. It's uncanny how similar they are, except Lowepro seem to have lost the "retro" styling of the Think Tanks, which is a shame). Also they have better construction (like the old Lowepro used to be).

I almost exclusively use Think tank and Billingham. Both are top notch IMHO, the only thing that comes close is Gura Gear, which are very light and very strong bags (I own one).

I also have one vanguard bag (Photography Talk model) which is very nice.

Very interesting bags. Not really the same use as the ones the OP was talking about though.
