The Citizen Messenger. Upgraded.

Level Up

In Fall 2024, the Citizen Messenger got a full upgrade. Guided by user feedback, we took the iconic 24L bag to the next level with smart new features. Tech carry was most important—a zippered front laptop pocket keeps your gear close. Next up: the option for left or right shoulder carry, a quick-grab handle, and swappable buckle technology, done. We even lightened things up with a recycled auto-glass liner. Same heritage, smarter design—always pushing forward.

    Best purchase for school

    Use it for college. Handy, easy to carry, and looks good.

    Motorcycle commuter bag

    I use this bag on my 50 mile R/T commute on my motorcycle. The only improvement I could ask for ( would make this a 5 star review) would be to have a sleeve/cover/feature to secure the end of the adjustable strap which flaps around wildly at highway speeds. I currently have the end of the strap wrapped around the metal adjustor things. a matching velcroed sleeve would be perfect to tie this up.

    Other than that it is comfortable, secure and has plenty of capacity for my computer, lunch, thermos + more.

    Can't speak to durability yet, I've only had the bag for a week, but it seems solid.

    Very practical

    My only critique is that the stabilizer strap should be swappable from the right-side to the left-side and vice versa. The stabilizer strap is not. It is permanently stitched on to one side.

    Also a small pocket or two on the front of the bag would be nice

    Goldilocks Messenger

    Not too small. Not too big.

    Just right for a two day trip, carrying a laptop, clothes, and toiletries. The perfect carry-on size, but also a really comfortable sling.
