Really Enjoying the bag.

A really nice messenger bag. The aquaguard zips on the front are a little tricky right now, but I think they'll break in nicely.

Great bag, spacious, could use some updates from other bags

Bag is awesome and quite spacious without being bulky, exactly what I was looking for. I also own the large sling bag, main reason I got this one is to lodge around my portable office which includes 15in MBP, bluetooth keyboard, mouse, charger, power bank, and still have plenty of space left for stuff I might pick around the day. I also bike with it for work commute about 25min. The Outback would be slightly too limited although very pretty. Though I still have a wish list for this messenger:

- The beautiful leather cover instead of the canvas for the top flap, they have this style with the outback and the sling.
- An easier buckle for the shoulder strap, they have that also with the sling bag. Instead of the seatbelt style which is cumbersome to change length vs the sling buckle which is awesome and very easy.
- Finally, SOME level of padding for the laptop sleeve, right now its 0 padding so you need a sleeve otherwise risk damaging an expensive device on a rough fall. And maybe the signature yellow interior but not too fixed on this as it might add bulk.

This bag is likely for life so don't think I'll buy another one for a while which is good, but I'll miss out on any updated version.

Vitesse Messenger: Poorly designed and expensive

I paid lots of money for a poorly designed bag. My 3.000 euro MacBook Pro is not protected at all and now I have to spend more money to buy a protection sleeve. The Vitesse Messenger bag is an expensive and useless piece of junk.

Excellent canvas bag

I love the look, the feel, and the practicality of the bag. I ordered it last minute for a trip to Japan, thus I didn't have time to order the shoulder strap pads to go with it.
I loved it! (With a couple of caveats.)
I carried a bunch of camera gear and random gadgets in it, wandering around doing urban street photography. If I had had the aforementioned shoulder strap pads, and if the bag had just a *little* internal bracing to help it keep its structure with odd-shaped contents (like a DSLR with protruding lense), then it would have been perfect.
As it is, I definitely love the aesthetic of the stiff waxed canvas design, leather straps, and the zippered pockets. The messenger design worked *perfectly* for swinging around to get quick access for your gear.
I'd recommend it!
