Trager Bags: Seattle Messenger Bag
Description of Trager Bags: Seattle Messenger Bag
Don't be fooled by the name--while the Seattle Messenger might look like a courier bag on steroids, it's also a practical portable office. This 2250 cu. in. bag easily doubles as a daypack or a business brief, with a high-density Cordura shell that shrugs off any weather. A load-bearing waist strap transfers load weight from your shoulders to your hips (you can also tuck the strap away if you don't need it).

perfect size business/overnighter I've looked far and wide for the perfect sized business bag that I can take on overnight trips. This is it! It holds all of my business papers, books, etc. and still has plenty of room for a folded shirt, toiletry kit, underwear, even gym clothes.

9 years and still going strong I've had a Trager Seattle Messenger since the 1999. It has been everywhere from the Alaskan rainforest to meetings in New York, New York. It's been a briefcase, an overnighter, a bike bag, a picnic basket, and a tackle box. It has always served me well and worn well.
Would love to have a padded insert for the laptop but other than that . . . nothing.

overall a superb messenger bag Construction/durability: five stars (we'll see how long the love handle lasts)
Material: five stars
Design: four stars
would've preferred D rings to swap shoulder straps - another zipper closing the secondary large internal pocket
otherwise, will fit my powerbook g4 15" in a 'brain cell', "the ultimate hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy", power cords, mouse, my canon g5 in a padded sleeve, water bottle, large journal and notebook, cell phone, its power charger, spyderco harpy, pens, oakley sunglasses and its case, an orange, white nectarine and asian pear, several bags of peppermint and ginger tea, and of course, a towel;
Adaptability/ease of use: five stars love the waist strap, sterling idea,
Value, dollar for dollar, pound for pound: five stars (tumi, zero halliburton, mulholland bros, ogio, victorinox, ain't got nothing over trager)
Have used it everyday for several weeks now, carrying all the shi...stuff above on new york subways, l.a. freeways (okay, it sits pretty in the back of my jeep), not one peep or groan from my bag...
Performance: five stars!
If you lined it with gore tex and waterproofed the zippers, it might truly be the shiznit!
I searched and researched long and hard for a messenger bag of this quality and versatility...all for under a buck and free shipping...man, life is good

Great bag. Minor storage concerns The bag is plenty roomy for my laptop and other stuff. Some options with compartments would have made it better (one compartment for computer, one big compartment for other big stuff, some pockets. I think it is what it was advertised as, so my fault for reading into it what I wanted, e.g. a place to put printed documents, a place to hold my 1 liter water bottle.
It feels great across my shoulder, fits my body well.
All in all a great bag for someone who doesn't want a backpack and wants to carry lots of stuff

Best pack I ever had This is just an awesome pack. I have used regular backpacks for school and work but they are nothing like this. This pack has tons of room for books, binders, even a laptop. Everthing is easy to access and put away. It is extremely comfortable and the waist strap is very useful. The extra support it gives helps the back a lot and makes it easier to walk with. This pack is also great for those who ride the bus. Unlike a backpack which you have to take off to sit down, you just swing this pack to your front and sit. I highly recommend this pack!

Holds and does everything!! I spent 2 weeks looking for the perfect bag on line. I found it! I have not changed to a different bag since I got it. I usually change bags frequently as they don't have "this or that", that I need. Actually, I have a shelf full.
To start:
1.The shoulder strap is very well padded, adjustable length, sewn on so it doesn't slide when I walk. 2.Padded back with outside pocket for my hat and gloves or folders. 3. Large zippered compartment was perfect for my laptop and accessories or shopping. 4.Open pocket just the right size for wallet, diabetic supplies, make-up, other "essentials" except kitchen sink!! 5. The two zippered mesh pockets are great for my umbrella & phone and your 24 oz. nalyene bottle.
6. The other 3 front smaller pockets I use to hold keys, note pad, calculator, pen/pencil. 7. A lot of bags are similar but the real selling point is: I walk and let's face it, all this stuff gets heavy! The adjustable waist belt is fantastic!! Absolutely essential for me.
If you can't tell, I love, love this bag. Wished it had come in blue or pink or some "ladies" colors though.
Thank you!!!
