Blood Red
Bugoy Messenger Bag Review.
By VR
Aimed at cyclist and/or daily bike
commuters, Blood Red’s bugoy Messenger bag has all you could expect on a tough
messenger bag. First, the outer shell is tough polyester with thermoplastic
polyurethane coating on both sides. Being on a cyclist or commuter near the
tropics, expect some drizzle to a heavy rain in the afternoon. No problem, with
its independently suspended weatherproof 18oz truck tarp liner, your belongings
or valuable things is safe from the elements. The outside zipper is vulcanized
for 100 per cent waterproofing. Your 15 inch laptop is safe from splashes.
Shoulder straps are ambidextrous. Whether
you’re a left or right shoulder, swapping the straps are easy. Both straps are
secured by double Velcro’s. Stabilizers rotate, so there is no chance of
twisted webbing/stabilizers. Over all, it hugs my body well, and has the same
width as my body making it easier to seep through traffic. I have a large bag which tends to hit side
mirrors since it is wider than my shoulders.
This bag can hold things/clothes and other
necessary things you need for a day or two. It is big enough to carry A3 sized
documents, but vertically oriented. If the straps are longer, I can secure the
flap to hold A3’s. Unfortunately, it’s not. I use the side stabilizers to hold
the flap with my A3 inside. The main shoulder strap is easy to adjust, but a
bit difficult to release, and with a lack of quick release buckle, taking the bag
off is tricky especially if you are wearing a helmet or eyeglasses.
Price is half with those imported bags, but
with almost same specs and durability, and waterproofing capabilities, I’ll
pick this one up.
