Quite a few people seem to rate the Crumpler bagsNever owned/tried one so can't say if they're any good or not, but they seem a popular choice (and are less obviously camera bags).

Look pretty dear, and can't see one that will carry a tripod. Get the feeling that fashion is overruling function.
Will need to rethink the tripod carrying options if that's the case, as not ideal carrying it by hand when on bike or snowboard.
I think slingshot looks to be way to go
Check out Think Tank for awesome bags that are built like - well - tankshttp://www.thinktankphoto.com
I have literally thrown it from about 10-15ft up onto hard concrete
paul there were crumplers in tk max today 10 pound got myself a nice satchel
Crumpler produce is fine. Paid €160 for my laptop bag, which seems steep, yet has a 30 year warrantee (!)
To be fair, Crumpler don't fall apart either, and they actually look nice unlike most "proper" photo bags. It depends really on your expectations - an amateur may well want something that looks sexy, and is a nice bit of luggage to boot, whereas a "pro" will of course have different priorities.
