Mid-sized for versatile function, The Citizen is the perfect messenger bag for someone who wants to bring a lot but not feel weighed down. Well built and good looking, this will be your workhorse bag for years.
The 26 liters of volume is enough for a laptop up to 17", some extra layers, a rain jacket, a few books, water bottle and your lunch. A compatible laptop sleeve is sold separately and secures into the bag. The weatherproof 1,000 denier cordura outer shell handles tough conditions well. The inner compartment is protected by an 18 oz. weatherproof truck tarp liner that is sealed to military specifications. The independently suspended liner eliminates the chance of any seams being exposed to the outside elements. Have trouble with those pesky pop tops? The neat looking seat-belt buckle release on the shoulder strap doubles as a bottle opener. The strap is made of actual five bar seat belt webbing with EVA foam padding, so it is comfy and very strong. The cross-chest load stabilizer keeps your bag in place if you are doing some aggressive riding. A Velcro accessory mounting strap holds any last minute items and off you go.
For trips to the grocery store, the farmers market or the library, The Citizen is the perfect bag to bring it on home.
