Messenger / Courier Bags List

Yeah, that is a little naughty imo - I think they maybe could claim that they were using it i the same way as hoover is used to describe any vacuum cleaner... but still a bit cheeky.

No, I wouldn't consider ever using/recommending a bag without a stabilising strap. What I was referring to is an extra, 4th strap that acts as another should strap, thus spreading the load over both shoulders (referred to as an X-strap as when worn with the other straps they form an X shape when viewed from the front)

I can certainly make you a bag if you want, although that wasn't the aim of my post, just to make people think about bag construction and perhaps look at supporting smaller independent bag makers.

ahh thats proberly ture, perhaps 'cordura style' is the best wording to use hah, i was jsut mainly thrown but the numbers etc, but as you work with it i'll take your word for it.

i get what you mean now about the 4th strap, again not something i'd have considered. at times i'll be carrying a fair whack of stuff with me, i'd have though the stableriser was enough.

i totally understand your point though you raised thigns i didn't think of and tbh i thought a custom bag whoudl be way more. i'll have to pm you/contact you though your site as a custom bag whould proberly be better suited then this if it means it will work better.
