Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
in this case, a old Miyata Team Edition fixed with a White Industries ENO hub.

Summary:
I used this bag during my brief stint as a bike messenger last winter. It is huge. How huge? You can carry one of those file boxes law firms use completely enclosed in this bag. Frankly, it has enough volume to carry more stuff then you can comfortably carry on your back due to the weight. If you're a messenger, this bag works well, if you're anybody else, get yourself some panniers and save your back the pain. I do like my Chrome Citizen for carrying small loads for quick errands, but your back has a limit as to what it can/should carry.

Strengths:
durable, waterproof, will carry a weeks worth of laundry

Weaknesses:
too large to be practice for most, many of the straps can be too short, especially when carrying large items.

Similar Products Used:
Chrome Citizen, Timbuk2 Medium, panniers
