I love my brandy-new Alteri backpack for my triple case. Gets all that
weight off of just one shoulder. Also, the shoulder strap included has a
neat rubber-thing that also distributes the weight well (& keeps the strap
from bunching up over time) if you do use just one shoulder. It has big fat
tough zippers, and velcro in all the right places. I've been told that they
withstand the test of time quite well. Alteri made my case cover custom
sized without any additional charge. They were very easy to deal with
directly. Their number is: (303) 291-0658.
