Dying to buy the v2 but I need a 15 inch version!!!
on January 25, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
Cannot find any other messenger bag that competes with this one In terms of both looks and functionality, was in love and was about to upgrade to the v2, only to find out they only have the 13L version. As a videographer with a 15 inch laptop for my editing needs, I am very disappointed. Would love to be able to get a 15 inch version!

Great bag, a few tweaks would make it perfect!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great bag, very comfortable to carry, looks good and not too obviously a camera or laptop bag. Can comfortably hold my camera, laptop and laptop or photo accessories or combinations. The outside pockets could be great but get difficult to use if the main body, especially the stretchy side pockets, are full. The key tether is great, but there should be an anchor in both outside pockets for those who carry the bag on their left. Would love to have zippers at the top and bottom of the luggage sleeve so it could be used as a pocket when not travelling. And it's crying out for an accessory water bottle holder that makes use of the Capture attachment slot!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Food Photographer Here: This bag is the bees knees

First off, I'm pretty picky when it comes to what I wear and this bag looks awesome. I love form, but I also love function - and this bag has lots of great ideas built-in. I love the tie down straps (and their mounting points), the magnets that help daily function, and the keychain quick release. I can fit a 70-200 2.8 + R5 w/ 24-70 2.8 + Macbook Pro and feel comfortable riding my bike to and from work.
The only thing missing is a place to mount keys on the left side pocket (I am a lefty). As a work-around, I just looped the keychain tether around the camera mount location and the keys will still store nicely in the zipper pocket. NOICE!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a step forward?

I got this to replace my V1 15" Messenger. There are features of the V1 I like better: Outside access to both laptop pocket and incidentals pocket (great place for passport, etc.). On this one you need to open the whole thing for access to almost anything. Still a nice bag, but I'm a little disappointed. Wish I hadn't sold my V1.

Great design, but...

I got the Everyday Messenger as replacement for my 15in V1 (Oustanding customer support and rapid delivery of the replacement).
The design of the new version is cleaner and more appealing but aside from the exterior anchor point for the straps the function of the new version is nowhere close to the V1.
The laptop compartment is too small for standard 13 inch laptops to comfortably fit in.
The front pocket is not deep enough either. In the V1 the front pocket was a great place for pens etc. The front pocket is of no use to me in the new version.
Not offering a slightly bigger 15in version is questionable choice. The bag is basically full with one bottle, a laptop charger, and a pen+notebook.
Lastly, the overall quality of the used hardware feels a bit cheaper

Overall does the job

I switched from a v1 10L Sling. I needed to carry a 13" MacBook Pro and an iPad and the Sling couldn't handle it. The Messenger is larger and has a place for the laptop and the iPad. So, score!
I can also carry my Fuji 100F and a set of headphones with a lot of space for more items when I need to carry more for work.
The bag is pretty stiff so it doesn't sit close to your side, however, if you wear it across your back it is fine.
The strap is a little odd compared to the Sling which was a pleasure to use. The strap seems to be on backwards, or connected so the strap is crossed. I don't know.
Bottom line, I am very happy with the bag. It does what I wanted it to do. The strap is a minor item and I can't reduce the number of stars because of it.

Good Bag, Outside Pockets Useless
on January 28, 2023

Really like the bag. The outside pockets are basically useless because they are so small and not deep enough. The inside could definitely be bigger.
Easily fits:
Small EDC items (AppleTV remote, pens, floss, hand sanitizer, pill organizer, small earbuds)
14" MacBook Pro
Field Pouch (does not really fit the tech pouch)
Fujifilm X-Pro3 w27mm f/2.8 pancake lens + 16-80 f/4 lens
+
8.5 x 11 Notebook
OR
AirPods Max

If it were just a little bigger it could hold the AirPods and the notebook and it would then be perfect.
