I want to see the bag without strap and waterproof and fit better on a trolley.

Still using blue bags myself. Found one last week that had been thrown out and in near perfect condition. The straps are more comfortable, easier to adjust than the red ones, and the closing catch easier to use one handed. Though not waterproof. Another bloke actually uses one of the old brown canvas style bags - think he inherited it from his Dad.
