Messenger Bags

Messenger bags are an integral part of the urban cycling culture. They are worn diagonally over the shoulder and can thus be easily pulled forward and wear particularly well on the bike. Most messenger bags have a second stabilization strap or chest strap, which ensures that the bag can not slip on the back. In our shop you will mainly find messenger bags from manufacturers like Mission Workshop from the USA and YNOT from Canada. These bags are made from extremely durable and advanced materials in North America and offer you a lifetime warranty. YNOT's messenger bags are a bit more traditionally designed and have a large main compartment and a few smaller organizer pockets. They have a particularly sturdy construction and can be supplemented with an additional laptop compartment, for example. The outer material is made of high quality Cordura, which is almost indestructible and the special coated inner material provides additional weather protection, which reliably keeps your bag dry.

Mission Workshops classic messenger bag comes in 3 sizes: Monty, Rummy and Shed. These models share the same layout with a large main compartment, multiple zippered exterior pockets and two additional pockets for lock and lights. A special feature is that the messenger bag can also be worn as a roll top. This allows you a faster access to the outside pockets. Mission Workshop's messenger bags allow you to change the side of the shoulder strap to fit your individual needs and take the strain off your body. The latest model from Mission Workshop is the Khyte Messenger Bag, which can be expanded modularly and has a much more complex design. It offers you several outside compartments and a special laptop compartment and can also be carried like a normal laptop bag. All Mission Workshop bags are available in different materials. The basic model is made of durable and strong Cordura and has buckles made of plastic. The Advanced Edition comes with Mission Workshop's own HT500 material, which is very strong but at the same time has a finer structure and lighter weight. The Advanced models always come with special metal Arkiv buckles. The most advanced material is VX, which is more stable and weatherproof with lighter weight and finer structure. All VX models come with either Arkiv or Fidloc closures. Mission Workshop also offers waxed models. Waxed textile is one of the oldest and most reliable methods of adding weather resistance to materials and develops a beautiful patina over time, but this can be removed by applying new wax.
