The Citizen 24L 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.

    Chrome messenger bag

    I had my last Chrome bag for over a decade and love my new bag! Went a size bigger and it is awesome.

    What a triumph of a product revolution

    This bag is fantastic, full stop! This will be my third chrome bag and second citizen. I have the original model. My original red one is now 17 years old and I adore it, but I wanted a new color finally and what such improvements they’ve made in all those years. I thought the citizen was perfect before I love the new laptop sleeve. I love the new pockets and I love the new shoulder strap that can be moved either side. You already had me, but you definitely have a customer for life.

    Best on market , but not what it used to be : (

    I have many Chrome pieces and love them all. I came on line and picked the largest messenger to replace one that I had in the 90’s but sold. The one I got was WAY smaller, so sorry that you no longer have the big dog.

    This one is looks big, but it is not well thought out. The laptop sleeve is not really functional for its intended purpose. The water net holder will even hold a small Yeti bottle, it’s kinda useless. The front pockets seem great , but are hard to access. The Velcro that used to be so iconic is not the same . The metal of the seatbelt also not the same sturdiness. Just overall not the same quality. Still better than most. But disappointed. Would have exchanged or returned but didn’t want the hit on shipping charges . Next time I eBay.

    Chrome Kills It Again

    I have had a Citizen bag for over 20 years. It not only was used as a bike messenger bag but has traveled the world with me. It was time for a new one. I contacted Chrome about a few issues that I had with a well abused 20 year old bag. They stand behind their guarantee!!! I miss the middle pocket and pen slots but plan on getting the messenger organizer. I love the two new outside pockets, briefcase type handle, and the swappable buckles!! Now onto another 20 years of adventure!!! Thanks Chrome!!!
