Peak Design The Everyday Messenger Bag Review

January 20, 2016/ Nir Schneider

This is the Everyday Messenger. It isn't just another camera bag. It's an all-in-one gear bag. A lot of thought went into making the Peak Design Everyday Messenger that it almost seems like everyone’s needs are answered by this one bag. Billed as a premium everyday gear bag for professionals and commuters alike, Peak Design’s The Everyday Messenger is everything you want it to be. It’s a shoulder bag, a messenger bag, a camera bag and a bag for everything else that is essential to your daily or once-in-a-year trip. Whatever it is that you’re looking for in a great gear bag, this bag apparently has it, does it all and is warranted for life. But will it be good enough to replace less expensive options such as Think Tank's Retrospective series of shoulder bags? Our full review awaits you down below!

Chrome Bravo BLCKCHRM Backpack Review

November 02, 2013/ Nir Schneider

Chrome, the highly sought-after urban bag maker, has just recently came out with a new line of stealthy bags decked all in black called BLCKCHRM. They're so stealthy we're pretty sure they've garnered the S.W.A.T's seal of approval. But being stealthy isn't enough, which is why Chrome's BLCKCHRM line is one of the company's most durable series of bags ever. Built to carry up to a 15-inch MacBook Pro while also withstanding heavy wear and all kinds of weather conditions including of course rain, the Bravo BLCKCHRM edition rolltop backpack is part of the new BLCKCHRM line shared along with two other popular Chrome bag offerings such as the Stotnik BLCKCHRM duffle bag and Citizen BLCKCHRM messenger bag. You may recall our earlier review of Chrome's original Bravo laptop backpack which we thought very highly of. What's differen't this time around? Hope on over the break for the full review to find out!

June 12, 2013/ Nir Schneider

Bluelounge heavily invests in designing products with simplicit refinement. But while the company is most known for its useful set of desk-cleansing organization tools and tablet accessories, Bluelounge is a newcomer to the gear bag side of things. It has, however, managed to grab our attention with its relatively new and quite impressive selection of crafty-looking and eco-friendly bags. We're going to be taking a look at the appropriately named Messenger Bag, which predictably is a messenger style bag capable helping you carry a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro up to the now uncommon 17-inch model - all the while knowing you've bought a 100% post-consumer recycled product. Catch our full review on the Messenger Bag down below!

August 06, 2012/ Nir Schneider

You can never go wrong with American made gear bags, and as far as we're concerned there are at least two namely companies worthy of mentioning one after the other, and those are Mission Workshop and WaterField Designs. And ironically enough, these two are practically neighbors stationed at the heart of San Francisco city. Where the weather is mental and carrying a laptop is a must. Mission Workshop's Sanction is certainly not just another backpack, it's an all weatherproof rucksack that has been constructed to last a lifetime; all whilst having that urban and military-esque appeal. Perfect for the a daily commute, may it be on a bike or a long and tiring trek no matter what Mother Nature has in store for you.

WaterField CitySlicker Leather MacBook Air Sleeve Case Review

June 22, 2012/ Nir Schneider

Need we say much? WaterField, the San Franciscan artisan bag maker is always on top of the game producing some of our most favorite sleeves and gear bags. WaterField has recently introduced the CitySlicker, and we think it's the 'Inspector Gadget' of hybrid sleeve cases. The CitySlicker is designed to be compact and capable of carrying enough of what you actually need to carry along with you in a 19th century, elegant style with 21st century protection.
