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.

    Great bag, a classic

    Roomy, great for everyday use. Looking into alternative buckles, too.

    Maybe my favourite bag i've Ever Owned

    I have had alot of bags, i even used to have an older model of this bag, and it has lasted over 12 years! and like 4 owners lmao. But this New Bag is SO nice, and the main difference i have found is that there is 1. More storage options and 2. Specifically the water bottle holder. I love this thing so much, thanks y'all for making such a great product!

    Love my new messenger bag

    I've been using Chrome bags since 2011 and this newer updated citizen replaced a messenger bag I had. All the things I've loved about my old bag in a more modern package.

    I missed features for my more basic Patagonia bag

    I really wish this had a simple external water bottle spot instead of this weird internal 1 and a external zippered pocket that you could easily access for things like keys or other smaller items. Also the description stated it fits a 15 inch laptop but my 15 inch think pad just barely fits and I have to force the zipper over the edge. It is also not quite as big as I was thinking it would be. I generally wish it had more zippered pockets built into it inside and out.
