The citizen is our medium size messenger bag. Designed to carry all of the daily essentials and more. Designed for the long haul... ten hours a day in the rain, mud, snow, and grit. It's like a bag within a bag. The independently suspended weatherproof liner freely floats within the outershell, eliminating seams exposed to the outside elements. Your cargo is safe from rain, snow, mud, and most anything else this cruel world can sling at you. The quick release seat-buckle closure allows for on-the-fly one-handed tightening and loosening of the shoulder strap.

Similar Products Used:
no brand messenger bag, Nat geo rolltop bag
Bottom Line:
I commute with this bag most of the time and it hasnt let me down yet. Keeps my stuff bone dry, tough stitches that dont unravel and the material is so abrasive resistant that it hasnt shown wear on the rear area that contacts with you back.
It also has a loop like thingy that allows you to clip ur rear riding lights to it to up visibility.
Spacious interior that swallows whatever I need for commuting, work clothes, lunch, toiletries, misc stuff.
Highly recommended!

No air flow on your back
Bottom Line:
I have used this bag five days a week for almost a year. Not one single stitch has come lose. Because of the high quality with which it was made I'm giving it a good review.
I would recommend this to someone who commutes to work. Or if you just need something to keep your stuff in while ridding around town. Its designed for urban use, so stick with a Camelbak when you hit the trail.
Also this bag comes with a quick release seat-buckle closure (Its what makes Chrome messenger bags unique) So you have to ask your self, would you like to ride around with a seat-buckle strapped to your chest? (Dude,That's like.... totally subjective.) The buckle has never given me any problems but may not be for everyone.
