Does exactly what it says on the tin
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Versatile
"It's nice when design just works. This bag is a great example - it's simple & effective where it needs to be, but also includes elegant solutions for common problems.
It's waterproof, incredibly sturdy, looks cool, is very comfortable, easily adjustable on the fly, easily cleanable, and I'm sure it will last for a great many years. All round great value."

good for bike commuting

Chrome citizen messenger bag and Wiggle in general
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Versatile, Good Fit, sexy
"Ordered what is the absolute fantabulous over the shoulder bag from Wiggle on the sunday night....here for college on tuesday!!! That is what I call service! Wiggle I thank you from the heart of my bottom! How do you keep such fantastic standards time and time again? This bag IS pricey,,,,,but fecking just AMAZING product,real value for money. It looks VERY hip into the bargain. It was chucking it down on my early morning 20 mile trip into college. Not a bit of dampness inside the bag. Also the comfiest bag I've ever worn. Think this bag will last ME out. Thanks again Wiggle, you are the tops. My buddy owns a bike shop but your service when you reallly want something quick is outstanding. Hats off to your team. One VERY happy bunny.xxx"

Good bag
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable
Cons: Expensive
"Well made, sturdy, stylish and capacious. The buckle is pretty heavy (and hurts when you smash yourself in the face with it by accident), and the whole bag isn't exactly lightweight. Pretty cool, though."

Brilliant Bag
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Versatile, Good Fit
"The best features of this bag are the buckle which means you can easily remove the bag without removing your helmet (it looks cool too), and it is expandability so its not bulky if you are only carrying a few things, but if needed, you can fit quite a bit in it.
Because it sits a bit higher than most messenger bags, its brilliant on the bike, and you don't have to constantly re-adjust it while riding (which i had to do with my last bag).
I personally like the lack of compartments, though this may be a downside for some (I find you can fit more into a bag with few compartments).
Don't be put off by the price, as this bag is so versatile, you will get your moneys worth out of it."

Chrome Citizen Messenger Bag
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"the Chrome Citizen Messenger Bag is a bag I always wanted so I'm a little biased about this bag.;p
The bag is made of Dura-Cora what is extremely tough material.
the seatbelt buckle is great if you're highly packed but not needed for normal use with textbooks, just an eye-catcher and a touch by Chrome.
What is really useful is the small strap what you can adjust to your shoulder strap.
I use this when I'm riding and it feels very secure because the bag is not be able to move so I can focus on the traffic without being disrupted.
The courses are well laid out: two pockets for your pens and a larger one. another one with a zipper for your wallet and one behind that one I use for my agenda for school.
Alongside are two large pockets that are perfect for your calculator or water bottle. There is also a special band for your rear lights.
The inner section section is huge, but remind you have to put this thing around your back!
-I doubt the first among the Mini Metro and the Citizen, but since I've bought the Citizen, I know that I've made the right choice!
I drive a few miles to school every day with my fixed gear bicycle and this is the perfect bag!
Really could recommend this one!

Built to last
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Rugged, Versatile
Cons: Expensive
"- Is the first thing I would say about the Chrome bag. ]
Yes, it's expensive but, I know with this quality it won't break in 5 years time. It's fully waterproof, I've already survived one soaking with it.
It has a few useful pockets under the flap. The velcro for both the second main compartment and the flap on the bag is extremely strong.
I think the best factor going for this bag is that you can stick something bulky or awkwardly shapped under the straps and carry it home.
Negatives for me as some people have previously said, the seat belt clip is pretty heavy. Plus if your build is slight then you might find it a little awkward to carry whilst it's empty.

Best single shoulder bag
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable
Cons: Expensive, giant buckle
"First of all, the craft on this bag is amazing!!, no loose threads or tabs, all fabric are perfectly cut, the seams are strong. combine them all together this is a bag that will last decades.
Yes the giant buckle is bulky and excessive to the point of totally unnecessary, but for the sake of "cool" I guess it's understandable. The storage compartment is very good, and becuase it is just one big sack you can just stuff everything in, this one bag has replaced my shoulder bag, backpack and waterproof gym bag all together.
This bag puts the weight higher on your bag so when you are actually on a bike it is comfortable.
Only downside? Not the cheapest. Also the buckle out weighs the bag when empty, as a result the bag won't sit properly when put on the ground."

Versatile and Practical
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Versatile
"The chrome citizen bag is tough, comfortable and looks great. The high quality products used to manufacture the bag are worth paying the extra money. The tough Cordura fabric makes it durable and the tarpaulin lining makes it practical. I have used it in the bus and on the bike, no more transferring gear from one bag to another for the different ways I go to work."

Great Commuter Bag with Bags of Room
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
"I have been using this bag now for 6 months and its brilliant.
The bag is very durable and the should strap is adjustable to get it comfortable depending on the load you have. It also has a stabalising strap too for bulky loads. The flap has a very waterproof cover on and is very durbable.
The internal compartment is brilliant. It has two compartments shut off also if you have wet gear and want it separating.
There are also compartments for keys, phone, pens, tools etc. I have managed loads including my laptop, shoes, clothes, lunch, documents. With no problems at all.
It is pricy, however you do get what you pay for."

Best choice of a bad bunch
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable
Cons: Expensive
"There isn't a huge choice of quality cycle messenger bags and you'll be parting with a 3 figure sum for a decent sized one and this bag covers all the bases. Durable, strong, stylish 100% water proof if slightly samller than you imagine but the best bit is the user friendly design of it. Comfortable to ware also."

Looks good, works well
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"The 'along-the-body' fit of this bag makes it way better than any of the cheaper messenger bags that I've tried. It makes it much easier to carry large heavy loads and the padded shoulder strap increases the comfort.
The seatbelt buckle on the strap is really useful for taking the bag off when it's full and heavy. It also looks pretty cool. The D-ring on the strap allows the length to be quickly adjusted for swinging the bag round to put stuff in it without taking it off."

Great messenger bag
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable
"This bag has a great storage capacity, me being a student I tend to carry plenty of things like: laptop, books/text books, clothes, shoes, lock and yet there is still plenty of room for other things.
This is an over the shoulder bag, and it has a padded strap that does not dig into your shoulder, as well as a load stabilizer that goes under your arm which is great as it keeps the bag from shifting when riding.
Finally this messenger bag sets the difference to others is the shoulder strap with a chrome plated metal seat belt buckle for quick release.
