LowePro does have a very good bag finder guide on their website, and the BestBuy in my area carries quite a few of their bags, if you don't have a larger camera shop in your area. I have used many of their products for a few decades and it's all holding up well. REI also has some of their bags, as well as some photog type bags from MountainSmith. 

Seeing a few comments about them, I ordered a StrobeStuff bag from ThinkTank, but returned it. I felt it is far bulkier than need be and doesn't offer protection for much beyond light bumps or scrapes, and I found it clumsy to get a KX3 into it, even w/o heatsink, SideKX's or Lexan cover, because of the center opening zipper. Might have been easier with a Lexan cover installed, preventing it from trying to hang up on the zipper. A snug fitting Polarfleece type stuff bag or something like a thick sock would offer about as much protection with minimal additional bulk, if one were going to carry it packed away in a backpack, for example. For carrying just the KX3 and a few accessories, on a bicycle, motorcycle or in the trunk of a vehicle, something like the Pelican 1200 or a well padded photog type case or pack is probably the best insurance. I've taken expensive camera & radio gear off road on the back of a dual sport motorcycle in Pelican 1200, 1300 &
 1400 cases with no conce 
 rns about the welfare of the contents.
