The best messenger bags for men are comfortable, stylish, and durable enough to last a few years. While there’s nothing wrong with using a backpack to transport your stuff to and from work — half of us here in the office do — a messenger bag can look a lot more fashionable and feel a lot more compact. The shoulder bags we’ve found can be used for a wide range of tasks, from commuting with a laptop to traveling with diapers (seriously … though we hope they’re not meant for you).
And they all have one goal in mind — to keep your gear safe from earth, air, fire and a reasonable amount of water.
