When I get my hot little hands on it, I will put up a picture of it loaded with relevant goodies.

UPDATE:
I have very kindly been offered, via PM outside of this thread, a camera bag that was owned but not wanted by another forum member. I have elected to accept this offer.
Nevertheless, I thank you all for your input.

In my town, the biggest camera store is WALMART.
Nearest dedicated camera store is four or five hours drive away, and family and work responsibilities prohibit a trip that long for something as trivial as this.

Doing my best to scrape my brains off the wall. :p
Only kidding. Had a very busy day and evening since posing my question and am going to let the answers mull around in my head for a while, picking out from everyone's descriptions of features not merely what's the best buy but WHY it's the best buy for each of you. From there, I can think about how that works in with what I need the bag to hold, in the contexts it will be used.

My well-worn and much loved Lowepro Nova 1 AW camera bag snapped its front flap closing hasp this morning, leaving me with the question of what to replace it with for a trip I'm likely to be taking in February.
Gear list for that trip currently comprises:
K-5 with charger and spare battery (I had thought about the *istDS, but some of the environmental conditions are anticipated to be cold and wet, and some of the shots will be low-light where even the K-5 struggles sometimes).
Remote release (corded).
Tiny tabletop tripod (good enough for a K-5 with Limited or normal prime).
FA50/1.4 (for low light, and in case I meet a K-1 I want to try).
DA18-135 (general purpose travelling-with-kids WR zoom; will likely be spending most of the time on the camera).
DA15/4 (because I missed having a wide angle last time we went to one of the places we're going).
The last time I went overseas, this bag held the K-5, the 15/40/70 Limiteds (the 21/3.2 was usually on the camera), and the accessories mentioned above, with ease. But having the 18-135 on the camera alters the volumetrics somewhat. So something ever so slightly larger might be nice.
Thoughts?
