Chrome Industries Mini Metro Messenger Bag - 15-inch Laptop Satchel Liter

Product Information

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. The Mini also still has the handy key clip inside the main compartment, which always lends peace of mind… Electronics The Especial messenger bag has a large capacity compared to other messenger bags and the space is filled throughout with thoughtful design features. Features: The Timbuk2 Especial messenger bag is designed with the journey in mind. This is a messenger bag that takes cycling seriously and won’t let you down on the way to lectures or the office.

So, instead, Chrome offers accessory laptop sleeves in different sizes that mount to a hook and loop system inside the main compartment. When it comes to functionality, Chrome does a decent job with their Citizen Messenger bag. It’s not anything that is mind blowing or completely different than what the competition is doing. And they make sure to include important features, there’s just one small thing I wish they would improve on, but first we’ll take a look at what Chrome did right. The main compartment flap is also relatively stiff and proportionally giant, so it opens over your face when you swing it around to the front to access the contents. This was more of a concern for smaller users, roughly under 5'8".

Conclusion

A top handle would be a been nice addition to the Citizen. I like having multiple carry options at work, not just shoulder carry. Style This bag is a professional work-horse especially suited for inclement weather. The Citizen is intensely practical and its professional messenger DNA shows.

The ambidextrous main and stabiliser straps means that left handers don’t have to miss out on everything that makes this bag stand-out. No matter the color scheme you choose, the Chrome Citizen comes with front and rear reflective hits. For this Chrome Citizen review I chose the the best selling Night series is much more visible at a night.Cordura fabric is often used in military applications and is widely regarded as one of the most durable fabrics available in the luggage industry.

If you’re unsure about what lights you should or shouldn’t be using at night, we published our guide to UK bike light laws. The Chrome Citizen is designed as a platform for a wide variety of professionals. The idea is to build onto it and customize to your needs.It is worth noting that not every compartment of the bag will have the same level of weather resistance. Straps and Access

The shoulder strap has a front-facing ribbon of reflective material to warn oncoming traffic while the closure straps on the flap keep you visible to traffic behind you. The Chrome Citizen is now made in Vietnam rather than the USA. While I didn’t have the older USA-made version to compare it with in the Chrome Citizen review, I see very little to complain about in terms of quality with the Vietnam version. Comfortable, compact, intuitive design, easy on/off, reflective panel for higher visibility at night They may be better known for their iconic saddles but Brooks have also made something of a design classic with the Strand messenger bag. If you want a tablet sleeve you will have to buy it separate as one does not come with this messenger bag.

BikeRadar’s High-Mileage Heroes

All of this means that the Chrome Mini Metro should last a lifetime (in fact it comes with a lifetime guarantee). 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 There is no handle for you to grab the bag by which would be great for when it’s in the trunk or you’re in a crowded room. Overall this is a great option for people that want a functional bag on the bike and a stylish bag off the bike. Features: The waterproof liner floats inside the main compartment enabling you to separate dirty from clean or wet from dry (great for the gym.)
