Messenger / Courier Bags List

Hello thread I have never read before.

I want to get myself a new bag, and one that is practical for use on the bike, and can take a laptop and other stuff is amongst my needs.

Not sure I want to go full fakenger, so was looking more at interesting, bike friendly and stylish backpacks that look good on and off the bike.

Are the rather expensive Brooks bags any good? Anything else worth looking at?

check out Blahol, from Warsaw, great bags and really affordable

Bigxtop no question. Mini messenger is such a great bag. With a roll top that makes its so practical with heavy and light loads. For bigger day sack.

Any idea what bag this is? It's from http://yonderjournal.com/australia/dead-reckoning-syd-to-mel-normcore-bike-tour-introduction/. Thanks :)

@Jezston

Trakke do some very cool bags.

Bagaboo also do good bags at a great price point with x straps for heavy loads. Very pac design inspired, which are still made to order by pat her self via Facebook website has long closed. Shame she hasn't benefited from all the innovations that she created, but those who want the best know where to go.

the website does work

@mechanism the BigxTop mini messenger is very similiar in form factor to the one in those pics if you just want something like that.

Can we have a link please

In search of a bag, probably roll top. I find myself using a 30L bag day to day and it's full all the time, which is cool, until I drop by the shops on the way home, or have to haul a 15 kilo box to my store. So I need a bag at least 30L, that will expand to carry a bunch more and has cargo straps too for those big boxes.
Vessel workshop courier bag and chrome barrage pro both look like they would work, but they're both $350, it's hard to justify a bag that expensive.. So something a little cheaper, anyone know of anything?

Had a look around, roadrunner bags large anything bag looks like it fits the bill, anyone got any experience with them?

I have the all black colour and it's the bag that I have been using for the longest... tried pretty much all the popular ones in the space of about 2 years and finally settle with this. Shame it seems Tokyo Fixed seems to stop buying regular stocks from T-Level. I think folks here have bought from T-Level directly in the past...

The T-Level has some aspects I do really like, The Suspended back is a massive plus as it's stupid humid in NZ where I'm living atm. The side access is cool, and something I know I would use. It's still $270US, which is still quite pricey, worth thinking on though I guess. Anyone stocking the black one? they seem to be hard to search for on Google...

sorry, sure

Not too late at all, thank you very much.

This is the best backpack I've used. Its not cheap or even cheaper than your other options tho. Got the messenger large which really is quite big when extended. Straps and walkie ad ons available etc. Carry loads really nicely but the welcro on roll top isn't good for many months, easy to replace tho.

No hashtag? For shame!

op asks for something cheaper than $275 so you suggest something $375?

Their L is 44l and 295$ and i even said it was more expensive. Just pointing at a good option having had a few bags. Whats the foul?

Think courier gets 10% of as well or at least they used to.

I have a freight and I absolutely love it, but I wouldn't recommend buying from them. I got my bag in March and I ordered it in August. They lied to me a number of times about when it would be ready, ignored phone calls and emails, and were generally pretty shady about the whole thing. It was especially irritating to walk into a store in December and see the exact bag I ordered being offered for sale....

MERS is supposed to be about the same quality-wise and is slightly cheaper, but I have also had friends say that they too are not upfront about their real delivery times. I have also heard good things about Trash bags.
