Alex_from_NZ Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hey Everyone, I am guessing a lot of us use our wheels to commute to and from work or school or the brothel or what-have-you and, as i am rather displeased with my current man bag and am on the lookout for a replacement, i was wondering what everyone else uses? Ideally, my bag needs to fit a laptop, tablet, charge banks, lunch box, misc tools and medkit stuff, charging cables and all sorts of other crap without falling apart (my current bags problem). Ive watched a bunch of Chooch's videos because they are fun as shit looking and he put me onto a brand called Maxpedition. After a bit of google and looking about i think i have narrowed it down to one of these EdgePeak sling bags.http://a.co/d/323LHEx And one of these to complement it.. http://a.co/d/9yPgkP5 Pros: Tough as balls. Can carry my shit. Doesn't look too naff, Sling bag should be more comfortable for me. Cons: Looks like im going hiking not to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? What do you use and why? Cheers, A curious Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Unicyclist Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Pre-EUC, I used to use a satchel / messenger bag... But when I first started riding I found that when loaded up (with my laptop and both of my lunches) the sudden weight shifts allowed with just a shoulder strap caused a bit of instability. So whatever you go with, I would recommend something that doesn't readily shift position. I ended up replacing the satchel with a Samsonite Laptop Backpack - not too large (which forces me to be efficient). The one I got isn't available anymore, but the newer Viz Air range is the replacement to it. And I suggest that it would be worth stopping past a larger Strand Bags branch - they usually carry a good selection to investigate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, im using a satchel atm from Strand Bags but been less than impressed with it (on my second one now). I like the Samsonite but wish it was a sling bag instead. Proper sling bag hopefully shouldn't move too much, thats one of the other problems with the satchel i have atm. How do you find the waterproofing on the Samsonite out of curiosity?

RayRay Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 While looking into turn signals, I bought a backpack with built-in controls... Note: This model from VUP requires a powerbank (not included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
