Re: Raxxess Converta vs SKB Mini Gig Rig/Roto Roller vs ???

2004-09-27 by paolovalladolid

Hey rEalm,

I checked it out and what concerns me is the cover for it is a snap-
on which looks less weatherproof than the cover for the Mini Gig Rig, 
which has a more solid-looking lid for $100 more.

Thanks for pointing it out to me though.
