Messenger / Courier Bags List

Why the necessary that the bag need to be use by courier in order to make the bag slighty more credible?

As long it can withstand 150 miles a week plus in comfort while manage to keep it dry no matter the condition, it's perfect.

finally someone gets it, you preeners all soaking each other with tongue spittle don't but this fellow does. You list totes and purses and laptop cases as messenger / courier bags, that's all i was saying. I didn't mean to offend except to criticize your list, which is fine except 90%+ of it is crap.

that's obvious, most of it isn't messenger /courier bags, most are barely water resistant much less with a waterproof layer, many let water in through gaping holes on the top, most have straight straps that dont conform to the body making for less comfort, no padding on the straps, none of the stuff that makes the bags that pro messengers use what they use...sorry for pissing you off, but you can't deny that your idea of what makes a bag a messenger / courier bag puts you up there with Jessica Simpson, you twatters.
