Chrome is one of the top manufacturers of messenger bags. Let us clarify: not the craptastic messenger bags that seem to be ubiquitous these days – the flimsy things that hang on one shoulder and only fit more than a laptop if you cram it in and make an appointment for a neck massage. No, we’re talking about messenger bags – you know, like the one’s bicycle MESSENGER’S USE.
You see when you’re biking all over hell and you need to carry stuff, you need a few things: room to store stuff, serious hardiness that can take the wear and tear of everyday usage, weatherproof materials so your important cargo doesn’t get wet or ravaged, and c-o-m-f-o-r-t. That’s it. And for years, and for all those reasons, many messengers have chosen Chrome messenger bags.
We should explain that we are cyclists here. We have pride about it (yes, LA is actually a GREAT place for bicycles – it’s 70+ year round and almost no rain – where else can you bike everyday!?). And as such, we have tried different messenger bags.
We won’t get into too many details, suffice to say almost nothing compares to a Chrome. Chrome bags are solid, feel good and look good. The classic metro is a great bag, but we like the Buran (pictured) because it’s built to hold a laptop. Which, of course, we need to post to mmmStuff.com…
