HAVEN'T RATED
The Everyday Messenger brought in almost five million dollars on Kickstarter – yep, you read that right. With that amount of funding success, you’d expect something amazing, right? Well, it is. This flexible messenger lends itself to photography and everyday use, with an expandable design that accommodates extra gear or slims down when you’re going minimalist. A quick-access top zip and MagLatch™ closure provide hassle-free access to the contents, and weather-resistant construction protects your gear from the elements. Also doing away with traditional bulky padded dividers, the bag features FlexFold internal dividers. Inspired by Origami, these dividers provide protective organization without taking up a lot of space.
the good
- Camera bag doubles as a functional piece of daily carry, including when camera gear is not required
- Innovative FlexFold dividers and MagLatch closure system
- Strong and subtle hardware, with understated branding
the not so good
- Need to take care when using the Capture Clip attachment point in crowded spaces
- Some pockets with rigid walls for pens and the like would be useful
