I rec'd my messenger over a week ago and I would like to address some issues that people have posted. First, I currently live in Singapore and I ordered the bag on a Sunday. Rec'd it by Thurs/Fri. Was informed all along of when it was shipped and when it will arrive.

Second, there is a lot of front strap left over but luckily there is loop to corral it. No biggie.

Third, the only reason someone would complain about their laptop not fitting into the bag (main compartment or the sleeve) is that they did not check the dimensions given on the Chrome site and given by their laptop manufacturer. Definitely user error there.

Fourth, the site states what capacity this bag is, 15L. It is up to you to find another bag with that capacity so you know exactly what you are getting.

For my review, this bag is large enough for what I need it to do. I am also a short guy at 168 cm and the 24L version would be crazy big. It's well made, feels very heavy duty. I have had other outdoor bags before so I would rank this bag up there in terms of being well built. On the flip side, it is heavier than it looks and it's a warm bag so if you sweat a lot be aware that this bag may worsen the problem. The buckles are super tight but I am hoping that they will loosen up a bit with use.

Currently using it to carry a ThinkPad T-series, an iPad mini and a few other items. Everything fits. I did overpack it today for a hospital discharge so it was a bit uncomfortable.

I purchased a gold colored buckle…
