Now I know that the North Face Messenger Bag isn’t a gadget as such, but it does help to protect my gadgets. Well, it will do when it arrives. You see, I wanted a bag that I could use everyday and was tough. The North Face Messenger Bag ticks both of those boxes, and then some. For starters it is large enough for me to fit my A3 sketchpad and laptop in to it, as well as pockets for smaller items such as a pencil case and iPod. The dimensions, if you really want to know are 38 cm x 45 cm x 13 cm. This gives the North Face Messenger Bag a 25 litre volume.

The one pictured above cost just under £45. Now I know that seems very expensive for a bag, but you’re paying for quality here. I know that in a few months time, the North Face Messenger Bag will still be in one piece. The North Face are renowned the world over for the quality of their merchandise, which is why I have faith that this bag will become a vital part of my everyday travels.

I have a rucksack at the moment, and whilst it does a fairly good job of carrying my folder and notepad, there simply isn’t any room for much else. With the winter and cold weather on the way I’ll need a tough, waterproof bag. So getting the North Face Messenger Bag is more of an investment for my needs rather than a want. I could quite easily spend £20 on a bag, but I wouldn’t be getting the quality and durability of the North Face Messenger Bag.

Folks, a good bag is essential for anyone who does a lot of travelling on a daily basis, so why not get a bag that’s going to last a good few years?
