Comments about Ortlieb Messenger Bag:

This thing is basically a huge, waterproof sack; it has only a single cavernous compartment. I use it for hauling bulky loads, like groceries, and it will carry more than I care to put on my back. Stiff, closed-cell foam pads spaced evenly on the back provide adequate ventilation in warm weather and prevent any sharp objects inside the pack from causing discomfort. A wide waist belt, well-padded shoulder straps and and adjustable sternum strap hold the pack securely on your back.

As far as construction goes, this pack seems about as bullet proof as they come.

The only drawback that I can see is the shear size of the pack. It will feel quite bulky on small-framed people. I only use it when I have large loads to carry, the rest of the time I use a smaller pack. For the same reason, I would not use it for anything other than short trips or running errands.

    Comments about Ortlieb Messenger Bag:

    I ride 13 miles each way to work through Chicago city streets. I like that the orange version of this bag is incredibly visible. The bag is also completely waterproof. I've ridden home in pouring rain and carry papers in the bag and they never get wet. The bag is very large which some people may not like, but I can hold all of my tools/spare tubes, my papers, and work clothes with no problem.

    My only con is that the waist straps dont hold their tension very well when bent over on a road bike. The waist straps do a lot more good when you are standing upright.
