Mission Workshop Monty-Advanced Messenger Bag
I think Mission Workshop sums up the value of their bags perfectly. “Mission Workshop all weather bags are handmade in the USA from waterproof materials. Built to last and guaranteed forever.” This statment by the company definitely applies to one of my favorite bags, the Mission Workshop Monty-Advanced Messenger Bag ($265). This bag features a front zip pocket that can store a 13″ laptop. And a main compartment that can fit a 15″ laptop. None of that storage does you any good if your gear gets soaked in a downpour.
To make this bag waterproof it utilizes three different fabric variations: High Tenacity HT500, MultiCam Black Cordura, and 10 oz. American-made waxed canvas. They also lined each bag with a lightweight urethane-coated ripstop liner. And they didn’t skimp on the smaller details either. From YKK zippers, some of the best you can buy, to Milspec webbing, and aluminum hardware. A perfect bag even for those short weekend trips. The Monty-Advanced comes in five different color variations.
