Chrome Industries Mini Metro Messenger Bag - 13 Inch Laptop Satchel with Signature Belt Buckle Closure, 20.5 Liter

I like this Mini Metro a lot. It carries what I need on a daily basis. I have a full size Bible, a note pad, an iPad mini 6, a case for my Logitech k480 and the keyboard itself, along with a Logitech Pebble. The interior also has a separate Velcro compartment to put other things separate from the main compartment. In my case with its current contents you’re probably not going to be able to fit much else other than some papers. It’s comfortable on the shoulder even fully loaded with what you see in the pictures. Unlike the Timbuk2, this product is thicker, more durable and the straps secure the bag close to the body. If you cycle, this bag will not get in your way. It will stay exactly where you snug it down on your body.The downside is, it is a lot heavier than the Timbuk2 since the materials are more robust. I also like the attention to detail as the ends are covered from the elements when the flap is closed, not allowing water or snow into the bag keeping your contents dry. I would highly recommend this product to carry your daily essentials.

The appearance of the bag is of topnotch quality and craftsmanship. Fit is just right for my body type. I was able to store all my work essentials inside the bag. It's just a tad heavy when worn initially, but easy to get used to after some time. Chrome Industries' trademark straps were designed with form and function in mind.

Great bag overall, durable and attractive. Love the buckle. Could be just a tad bigger. I tried the larger messenger bag too and that was a lil too big so I think something in between would be perfect. Also the zippered pocket is too small and too tight. I had to buy the organizer insert for extra/larger zippered pockets.

The fit is great, stays in place and does not bunch up or pinch your clothing while on a bike. I commute to work and can fit a change of clothes, pair of shoes, my lunch, two water bottles, and small personal items. It’s big enough to fit everything but not too big that I feel the need to overfill it. Perfect size for daily use. Sturdy and great that it’s weatherproof.

Amazing quality. Does exactly what I wanted to do. It’s not exactly the position and hang that I want. However, the thing is built like a fire hydrant. Hard to pass up!

My stuff never get wet. The bags stood out so far. Is basically water proof from rain. I carried it through servals day of rain.The shell might look wet but the stuff is dry. But my only complaint is the stabilizer string flapping around. Other than that this is a Quite valuable bag

These are definitely authentic chrome bags.Not all chrome bags are made in the US for years.Very happy. Have not tested in the rain. Likely wont get to anytime soon, so keep that in mind.

Be aware that this product is discontinued. The bag is of very high quality, with top-notch materials and construction. I gave it 4 stars because the stabilizing strap is positioned too high on the shoulder strap and cannot be adjusted. I almost returned the bag, but I found a strap from an old messenger bag and adapted it to the CHROME bag, allowing the buckle to move.
