I had one of these Chrome Citizen Messenger bags, paid like $120 for it and used it maybe twice and then sold it for half that. It was brutally uncomfortable compared to my backpack for carrying anything over 5-7 pounds while bicycling (like a textbook ) so I don't really recommend it unless you will wear it as a fashion accessory and carry only light loads. Honestly I can't figure out why they are popular but to each his own
