This bag is a professional work-horse especially suited for inclement weather. The Citizen is intensely practical and its professional messenger DNA shows.
The Chrome Citizen Messenger bag is a stylish messenger bag that has a great design and multiple colors to choose from. The Citizen bags come in a variety of colors to choose from, about nine different colors when all are available. They’re neat because they end up creating a two tone look. With an overall capacity of 10L the Granville 10 Courier Bag is still good for carrying laptops up to 12-inch. A great messenger bag or sling will keep your kit well organized, and will wear comfortably, so you can get on with your daily commute.The Timbuk2 Classic Messenger is just that – a classic. It does a great job on the bike without reinventing the wheel. A simple, functional design: This is a common theme I see in durable designs…they are tough, uncomplicated, and well-thought-out.
If you decide to buy the separate laptop sleeve then at least you’ll be able to utilize the internal fasteners that come with this messenger bag. Which is great as some cargo you carry around might be expensive or delicate and you want to make sure that nothing is getting thrown around in there. The strap is widened at the shoulder, which is why it is so comfortable compared to other messengers. This distributes the weight very evenly across the shoulder without discomfort or friction points. There is also a discrete handle towards the top of the bag that is great for grabbing the bag and turning it into a professional looking briefcase. The genesis of the Arc’Teryx Granville 10 Courier Bag comes from designing a bag that meets the needs of those who want a smaller, more streamlined messenger bag. This is the Chrome Citizen Messenger Bag. It is considered by many people to be one of the best messenger bags available on the market, if not the best one. This messenger bag is constantly debated about amongst couriers and professionals and typically Chrome comes out on top. Today we’ll dive in a little deeper to see what makes the Chrome Citizen the top messenger bag is so many peoples’ eyes.The Classic will transport up to 15-inch laptops without issue and there is plenty of additional storage throughout the bag. There is even enough space for two water bottles. Features: The zippered, padded laptop sleeve, enhanced organization, and a briefcase carry handle make this bag a step up from the Chrome Mini Metro for your office needs. It is in some ways the high capacity, larger cousin of the Mini Metro. The Buran II is a great and stylish messenger bag if you need a very rugged, high volume bag, but these needs must outweigh the need for light weight; otherwise, it will feel cumbersome and heavy and you'll struggle to justify its purpose in your quiver of bags. Value Context: I’m not a cyclist. Nonetheless, for the past 5 years I’ve exclusively used a Timbuk2 messenger bag for commuting and travel. Over that time I’ve discovered plenty of things that work and don’t work in a messenger bag. First Impressions of the Citizen Messenger Bag
The Chrome Citizen Messenger bag is what it is because it’s an extremely durable and long lasting bag that has proven itself again and again. The way a bag like this gets such a great reputation is if it’s around to actually be noticed and not discarded after a short while due to durability issues. Comfortable, compact, intuitive design, easy on/off, reflective panel for higher visibility at night The Chrome Citizen is over-engineered to withstand far more than consumer-grade bags. This bag is made from 1000D water-repellant Cordura. It has very high abrasion resistance and excellent tear strength.Cordura fabric is often used in military applications and is widely regarded as one of the most durable fabrics available in the luggage industry. Denier) is the textile industry standard measurement for the weight/density of the fabric. For some perspective, most decent quality bags are made of 600D nylon. Waterproof Liner At 4.02 lbs weighed, this drops into our review as the heaviest bag. It has a nice, wide shoulder strap to distribute the load, but it is easy to make this bag really heavy (because it is also large), so when it is fully loaded, it really weighs mightily on your left shoulder. This bag had one of the higher capacities in our OGL Volume and Load Tests, but because of the heavy starting (or empty) weight of the bag, it had one of the lower Volume/Weight Ratios. Best Applications The Chrome Citizen Messenger bag is perhaps the most comfortable messenger bag on the market which is one of the top reasons to consider this bag. Chrome has designed the bag so well that it makes riding with the bag just as enjoyable as if you weren’t even wearing it.
