based on my bellroy classic backpack, those amount of organization is actually enough for commuting to work. i can carry more using pouches, but that just complicates packing even more. but i always carry a packable tote in case i need to carry more.

I love my Manhattan Portage Wallstreeter as my work bag. Beefy. Carries my laptop, water bottle, tech bag, papers, books, and many other items. I would love a messenger bag after your backpack.

I generally like to pack a small messenger bag at the bottom of my travel backpack when I go on trips and that's what I use as my day bag. This seems like it might be a decent option, but also seems like it might be just a bit too thick/take up too much space packed into a bag. I'm still waiting for the day Aer releases a Go Messenger to their Go line of bags.
@Nomads.Nation7 ай бұрын
Agreed that it might be too thick. Bellroy Via could be a better pick

That’s really minimal now that you show the details. Seems good if you travel light. A persons work briefcase is a personal statement. I have a heavy chonkey work thinkpad 15.6” and I need a bit more padding around my laptop and more padding for my shoulder (and more dedicated sleeves for my business papers man). I ended up with a more trad waterfield bolt brief and aer travel sling (brown and black options lol) for my daily subway commutes. People who wear their backpack on packed rush hour trains are a menace lol.

They are a menace 😂 but also backpacks are just so much more comfortable so you can’t blame em

I love the idea of carrying a briefcase-style bag, just find messenger mode uncomfortable, if I want to go hands-free.
@Nomads.Nation9 ай бұрын
That’s cuz messenger mode IS uncomfortable. Backpacks always win in a comfort battle

Do you really like this used material for black one? I was a bit dissapointed because I loved bellroy’s materials but this black material…I dont know, it is different, step back… I love the fabric used for the blue one or slate one but I wanted to have “all black” bag… so I have a dilema😂
@Nomads.Nation6 ай бұрын
Yes Bellroy fabrics are hard to keep track of - I do like them all though.

I’m torn between this and the tokyo totepack 20L capacity. Wont be bringing any laptop just an ipad for my daily computer needs, bose headphones with water bottle is a must also. Which do you think would be the best buy between the two for everyday use?
@Nomads.Nation4 ай бұрын
backpacks are always more comfortable than messengers - so imo go with the Totepack
@rashadaljunied7 ай бұрын
where and how would you store a water bottle and what size?
@Nomads.Nation7 ай бұрын
Where - main compartment. Size - not sure, depends on the bottle. Probably best to take the dimensions yourself or ask Bellroy customer support
@LogiGhetto6 ай бұрын
Is this black material same as for bellroy lite sling?
@Nomads.Nation6 ай бұрын
I don’t think so, but I’d double check with Bellroy customer support to be sure

Why do I need a water bottle holder for a work bag. Doesn’t make sense. I don’t think there’s any work bag or seen anyone carrying a work bag with outer water bottle holder
@Nomads.Nation9 ай бұрын
do you not get thirsty when you work? lol. And that's not true - Nomatic Messenger Bag has a water bottle holder on the outside, and Peak Design Messenger and many more have a water bottle holder on the inside.

Is the laptop compartment padded on the bottom? Or does it go right to the bottom of the bag? Sometimes I set my bag down little rough and don’t want laptop to hit the floor even in the compartment.
