A messenger bag is a kind of sack, made out of natural or synthetic fabrics, that is worn over one shoulder with a strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back. Originally, messenger bags were often used by bicycle messengers. Also, Pony Express riders, postal workers and messengers on foot extensively used messenger bags. Some Royal Mail carriers in the United Kingdom use large messenger bags to deliver mail even today. For this reason, messenger bags are sometimes referred to as courier bags. However, though they are becoming increasingly popular with modern day youngsters and can well be called a fashion statement today.
Messenger bags are not only used by people who carry a large number of things to deliver. They can be used by anybody who needs to carry, for some purpose, a large umber of items, or bulky objects. The speciality of messenger bags lies in the fact that they offer easy access to the contents by the user. The shoulder strap, quick release buckles, and the ability to attach a variety of accessories such as lights, phone holsters or U-locks make messenger bags extra convenient and easy to use. Stabilizing straps make sure that the bag doesn't shift when the user rides a cycle or bike. The top-opening one-strap design allows messenger bags to be easily swung around front so that their contents can be easily accessed without having to remove the bag.
Messenger bags can be used by both sexes. But they usually find more popularity among males. They are being extensively used by school, college and university-goers. One reason for its popularity, other than easy accessibility to contents, is that they are weather-resistant due to being made out of coarse, thick cloth. Cordura or ballistic cordura is most commonly used in the construction of messenger bags. 14 oz. or 18 oz. vinyl tarp or truck inner lining are also used to make the messenger bag waterproof and to the support structure for the messenger bag to keep it from falling.
