Messenger Bag Review

We tested eight top of the line messenger bags suitable for carrying a laptop along with other items in a two month long head-to-head comparison that assessed comfort, aesthetics, storage, water resistance, durability, versatility and laptop security. Our ranking and awards reflect the opinion of eight testers each of whom used each contender for a week in order to identify the best overall, the best value, and the best for transporting a computer and documents. Be sure to also check out our Laptop Bag review which looked at backpack-style bags suitable for carrying a laptop. For most people a backpack is more practical for carrying a laptop than a messenger bag.
