Sometimes a back pack is just too much bulk and more 'mountain guide look' than you want for the urban jungle. It is nice to have more organization for your things and a hefty increase in protection for the $2,000 laptop you are lugging to a meeting. This is where the First Ascent Messenger Bag come in and fills the void. It has a heap of room for more than just the essentials and can easily accommodate a spare insulation/rain layer (or two). Everything inside has its' place and is kept nicely organized as interior pockets abound. It even has velcro fasteners/zippers and plush liners. Overall the First Ascent Messenger Bag is really comfortable thanks to it's well padded and extra wide strap and semi-rigid back panel.
