Photo bags from former members of the Israeli military

KATA is a company that makes products in the Military-Security, Video-Photo, and Hi-Tech categories, and their background is rather interesting:

Nitzan Kimchi and Dror Tishler, founders and owners of KATA, became acquainted with sophisticated military equipment during their service in an elite combat unit of the Israel Defense Forces.

We're digging KATA's keenly-designed 3N1-20 Sling Bag for photography gear, especially because the designers paid as much attention to how the bag would be worn and accessed on-the-go (see below) as they did to what you could fit into it.

The 3N1-20 is currently selling in the (low!) $99 range, and if you'd like to read a review of it, Cameratown.com puts it through the paces here.

Kata make great bags. I've been using the smaller T-214 sling for hiking for some time now and it's a great solution for my DSLR camera and 2-3 lenses. Bonus points for not looking much like a camera bag too, which makes it good for urban environments where you might question your safety.
