I'm looking for a new messenger bag.
I have a medium Timbuk2, but it's not quite big enough. I'd like something more comfortable if possible - the stiff strap on the Timbuk2 gets wearisome on the bike after maybe 30 minutes and fvcking annoying when stuck in an airport for hours and hours. (I fly dozens of time a year)
What I don't like:
Chrome - the metal buckles are retarded
Crumpler - to bulky, and the strap pad is completely lame
What I need:
Comfortable strap w/ padding
Minimum 17" width at the bottom of the bag. (drum sticks must fit along the bottom)
All black.
Lots of internal pockets
For flights, I'm kicking the idea around of just getting a cheap carry on size bit of luggage, and packing a smaller messenger bag inside for toting around at destinations. It'd be nice to just have one big comfortable bag though. (and simpler)
Suggestions?
