Best Laptop Messenger Bags
Chrome Citizen
Carryology score
avg. reader score
Chrome’s iconic Citizen messenger is a familiar face in the bike world and likely to stay that way for years to come. Weatherproof construction and a host of nifty features make this a trusty sidekick for the work commute and enjoying your downtime. Reflective detailing helps keep you safe on the road, while the stabilizer strap puts a stop to unruly behavior when you’re on the move. The citizen fits a 17-inch laptop, with a choice of pockets to stash your smaller daily carry. The famous quick-release seatbelt buckle also features an integrated bottle opener, so you can kick back with a cold brew after a busy day.
