Talk to me about camera straps + bags

STRAPS

I'm looking for recommendations from the Pro's on a durable and comfortable camera strap. I do most of my photography while traveling. I also like to shoot while skiing and on my bike.

These are the ones I have found so far. What do you guys think?

DSPTCH - Camera accessories, Camera strap, Wrist strap, Sling strap


Convenient Disgrace


Roberu Japan


Blackrapid RS-Sport


CustomSLR/


Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Bags:

Firstly and foremost I don't want to look like I am trucking around tons of camera gear. I don't want to be stabbed in the ribs for my kit

My full travel kit consists of: 5D3 camera body, 3x lenses largest being a Canon 70-200mm, 2 spare batteries and a charger, various filters and a GPS shotshoe adapter.

My favorite so far is this one, but at $429 I'm sure I can find something better and likely more cost effective.
Ono Camera Bags


Not too crazy about this ones design:
Incase DSLR Pro Sling Pack


This one still screams "camera bag" at me for some reason
Urban Quiver


This one looks pretty large... maybe too large.
ILEquipment


That's it... what are you guys using and what would you recommend?


(+)Rep for responses!
Thanks fellas.

No, this screams I'm carrying a "rifle".
I know what I'm going to suggest is generic, but I've always been content with my Lowepro. There's plenty of options to go around and most of their designs don't scream "i'm carrying loads of camera equipment". For the amount you're planning on tagging along, maybe the Trekker series?

Kata bags are awesome. They seem to be durable and totally don't look like camera bags at all.

For staps, I like my OpTech strap I use on my D700.
