I know this topic has cropped up a few times, but I need some recommendations. After only 2 years of using a Ritter RGS7-E bag its already starting to rip apart and one of the zip pull rings is broken. I mainly use it to transport my guitars from house to garage, in the car and occasionally to rehearsal rooms.
I'm looking for a more sturdy, weatherproof long-lasting gig bag. I see that Mono seem to get a lot of good reviews, and they do 2, the sleeve type one and the "Vertigo". I carry all sorts of body shape guitars like a Strat and a Les Paul, so if I went for a sleeve shape would a LP fit? Or would I have to get the Vertigo one to ensure I can put that and a Strat in without needing a separate case?
Any other brands would be welcomed.

I’m currently using TGI Extreme gig bags which are around the £50 mark, have a whole load of pretty thick padding, and a decent-sized ‘extras’ pocket. Not sure how waterproof they are but certainly showerproof. For the short distance from the house to the car, or from th car to pub I’m not particularly worried.
Is it the sleeve or vertigo one?
TGI one looks alright for £50. As mentioned it needs to fit both my Strat and Les Paul guitars as I go between both at any given time.
Bulky but supremely robust and weatherproof. Plus, sensibly-sized pockets.

looks like a different model I.e not the sleeve or vertigo, worth a look...
