I know this subject has been beat into the ground ie messenger bags. But I am finally in the market for one. I like my timbuktu, and finally have it adjusted to where it doesn't completely kill my chest, but they are kind of pricey and if I could find a cheaper one that women seem to like more, I would go for it. Any of you ladies recomend a bag that doesn't squish your chest. I even looked at backpacks but I really like the way a messenger bag sits on my back.
