Crumpler Messenger Bags

Call them what you will: pousenger bags, man-purses, hipster packs. The messenger bag is one of the hot items to have if you're a commuter these days. Whether your ride to work or school is a few blocks or an hour, the shoulder-slung design of messenger bags is meant to afford both comfort and style. I sling a lot of electronics on my commute, so for me, the protection of my gear comes first. Crumpler bags have the competition beat for armor. They may be almost over-padded- -but then again good gear isn't easy to replace.

Crumpler makes enclosures for laptops as well. The combined effect is a snug, densely padded cocoon of safety around your precious goods. That cocoon is water resistant, and held to your body with a thick padded strap that distributes the load. They've got the comfort thing down, too. With the addition of an adjustable strap to the main belt, Crumpler creates a three point connection that is super stable. When you've got to accelerate through a yellow light, or swerve from the sidewalk into traffic, a Crumpler stays on your back, eliminating  potential load shift.

Prices vary from model to model. Expect ~$60-200 for the best messenger bag you'll ever own. From eBags
