Messenger shoulder bags got their start in the fast-paced, heavy-loaded world of bicycle messenger services in the Big City.
If you’ve ever been in an urban environment, you have seen these delivery maniacs at work.
They tend to have no regard for traffic, or their own bodies, as they zip in between moving cars, around walking pedestrians, through jammed intersections.
Their one goal is to deliver their package on time, if not sooner. Their two tools for this job: their bikes and their bags. Though they may be trendy now, messenger shoulder bags still have this gritty history in their heart.
Today’s messenger shoulder bags are still made tough and durable. They can pack a ton of stuff, and still be easy to load and light to carry on your back. With a messenger bag on your shoulder, you are guaranteed prepared for whatever you have planned for the day, or wherever unexpected the day may take you. Whether you’re riding a bike or riding the train, hitting the slopes or hitting the books, messenger shoulder bags can carry the day.
Part of their success stems from this ultimate usability, not just the whims of fashion and people’s fancies. Most quality messenger shoulder bags come with a wealth of little features, which make it seem like the designer read your mind. They typically have key fobs, multiple mini pockets for phones, PDAs, and money, holders for water bottles and other drinks, and divided spacious compartments on the interior.
For instance, take AMPAC’s lineup of messenger shoulder bags. They feature a padded shoulder strap with non-slippery material to kep the bag from jumping around on your back. The cell phone compartment detaches from the rest of the bag, which would be great, say, if you leave the bag in your locker but want your phone handy. For nighttime bikers, the AMPAC has several reflective patches and stripes.
Sherpani also fabricates a mean messenger bag for women. This brand comes with fun names like Flora Major and the Extra Large Yoga Messenger Bag, but more importantly, the bags are also fun to own. Some of the bags come with inside material that splashed with bright floral patterns. The outside material is just as vivid but sturdy and resistant to damage. Straps on the bag’s exterior can tie up your yoga mat, while pockets can hold your water bottle.
No matter which brand you choose, though, you’ll be sure to appreciate the versatility and comfort of your messenger shoulder bags. But if you get the urge to ride your bike through city traffic with it on your back, don’t hold us accountable.
