RE: Question on changing bag; New member to infrared-L

Dexter:

Muchas gracias, just what I was looking for. I was curious about the Calumet
bag as it looks like it's made of some silvered coated fabric. Doesn't look
real substantial, so the fact that it leaks IR doesn't surprise me.

Anyone have any experience with the Harrison changing bags and IR?

Or for the record who else is using changing bags and what do you have?

Thanks,

David
