Messenger Bags

These are sleek, compact bags for carrying smaller items, such as laptops, tablets, and documents. They usually have a single strap across your body, making them easy to access and carry.  Now considered as urban fashion icons, some types of messenger bags are called carryalls. A smaller version is often called a sling bag.

How to Choose the Right Tactical Bag or Case 

Choosing the right tactical bag or case can be overwhelming, especially with many available options. Here are some factors to consider when making your choice: 

• Size - Consider the size of the bag or case based on the type of gear you need to carry. Going on an extended camping trip, you'll need a large backpack or duffle bag. A messenger bag will suffice if you take a laptop and documents. 
  
  

• Durability - Look for bags and cases made of high-quality, rugged materials that withstand wear and tear, harsh weather conditions, and rough handling. 
  

• Comfort - Look for bags and cases with padded straps, handles, and back panels that offer maximum comfort during extended periods of wear. 
  
  
  

• Organisation - Choose bags and cases with multiple compartments, pockets, and dividers that allow you to organise your gear and access it easily.
