Betsy commented that she liked my messenger bag at the DC area gathering today and suggested I should post it here. So here it is.
I use a Keen Irvington
http://www.keenfootwear.com/product/ss09/bags/unisex/lifestyle/irvington/bronze%20green%20!%20iguana!%20golden%20glow, mine is red and brown and does not appear to be available on the website. I have had this bag for three years now and it barely shows any wear and tear. It is larger then a normal purse but not quite as big as a messenger bag. It is a great bag for travel due to its size, carrying capacity, and how easy it is to clean.
My DXG does not fit in the carrying case I bought for my K1, Betsy was sporting it at the previous DC gathering and I really liked it, but it fits in the Keen bag easily.
Some of the features of the bag
- 100% recycled aluminum components
- 100% recycled interior liner
- 100% recycled molded rubber bottom
- Adjustable 2" webbing shoulder strap
- Automatic interior LED light
- Backside zippered slash pocket
- Carabineer key tether
- Exterior side pockets beneath strap anchor
- Front slash pocket hidden under lid
- Interior organization pockets
I like that Keen tries to use recycled materials. It is a solid bag, that looks nice for day to day use, and works perfectly for travel.
