When I’m in a more urban environment where I’m walking and stopping and lighter loads I go Messenger bag. When I’m traveling, backpack ALWAYS!

Nothing worse than being weighed down by your bag on a single shoulder and still have a few hours ahead of you carrying that load. At that point, you don’t care what you look like, just make sure the pack is comfortable.

I’m more of a messenger bag guy. I live a big city and it’s convenient to have a light weighted bag I put across my shoulder and ride my bike. The wide shoulder strap for comfort. Love the article on this topic.

Cheers!!

It means you’re probably well on your way to becoming a Carryologist
There’s no such thing as a perfect bag for every occasion, and so it makes sense to swap around a little. It only starts to become an issue when you have a whole cupboard put aside for your bags, and then they start overflowing into the garage…

So what does it mean if I rock both of them equally? Right now I’m on a backpack stint. My laptop was making my messenger a bit too heavy. And both of them are Timbuk2 bags. I actually want to try out the Swig now. That bag looks really nice and functional. On the same hand, I want to try other bags besides Timbuk2.
