Just received my Gibson Messenger Tech and I'm completely thrilled with it. It's not too big and not too small, it's just right! It fits my Samsung Galaxy S9 Ultra tablet (big!), keyboard, papers, charger, phone, wallet, glasses and a ton of other stuff. It's well made, looks great... even the padding on the strap is generous and comfortable. I'm very happy with this bag and would recommend it without reservation!
I got this as a gift for my husband, who works in a medical setting. It's sleek, really sturdy, and roomy enough to carry his laptop, work papers & notebooks, water bottle and snacks. He appreciates the different pockets in the front compartment, which helps keep his keys, pens, badge and other small items organized. I love that it's also stylish and professional enough for him to use for travel and conferences while still being fully functional.
I've been using a previous iteration of the Gibson Messenger (in CAMO) since 2018 and it's the bag that I keep coming back to day after day. It's got just the right amount of internal pockets for accessories, a flexibly sized padded laptop pocket, genius design of the luggage trolley sleeve which can be used as an external pocket when zipped. This bag's got just the right amount of padding to protect your gear, while not being overweight or otherwise burdensome. It's also got enough reinforcement to be able to stand on its own and not flop over like totes usually do. The overall profile is slim but can swell up to pack a boatload if needed, in addition to the regular external pocket. Thanks Herschel. (No I was not paid to write this review).
