i have been in various situations in which i could have lost my camera equipment to water and am looking for a shoulder camera bag that has the protection of a lowepro dryzone and maybe the look of a crumpler. does anybody know where i could find one?

so you don't like the lowepro Nova all weather proof ?
because i own one and it's worth every dollar.

It is water proof, it has a cover that you can pool out of a Sid pocket and it completely isolate and weather proof the bag.
its called the "NOVA 3 AW" Check it out at there website although i found it at the camera store for less.
and by the way you should check it out at the store because online they don't show you the water proof cover ,which you want the most, but it is included i had it during a storm and i was wet from head to toe and the camera was absolutely dry.
good luck

::opens up current issue of Outdoor Photographer::
The Lowepro DryZone 200 (or the 100, it is a smaller version) is supposed to be fully waterproof and even floats when fully loaded.

I have the dryzone 200, it works well. I have never tested the float part, but have been in the rain with it and dont worry...or crossing a strem and dont worry

thanks, i already have a lowepro dryzone 100, but i am looking for something smaller for occasions that call for less equipment. i am now thinking of getting a crumpler bag and keeping small waterproof bags for individual pieces of equipment in a pocket.

You might want to look into something like Gexar systems. Not sure if it meets all your requirements but the pack is modular, so you can add what you need and they are definitely tough. Might be a bit bulkier than what you are looking for.
