Chrome Bags Metropolis Messenger Bag in for Review
Wicked blue! That is the first thought that ran through my head when I ripped this bag from its packaging. Chrome Bags was a small Boulder, Colorado start-up by a few biking goons who wanted a bag that could outlast the stories of time. I can say, with factual evidence, and based on personal experience, Chrome Bags definitely succeeds at their objective to create a functional, sustainable, and durable bag.
About the Metropolis Messenger Bag
The Metropolis Messenger Bag is their second to largest bag, behind the Kremlin. The bag has a 2000 cubic inch volume capacity and creates various compartments to fully utilize the space available. The bag is available in right or left shoulder positions for the strapping and shoulder elements and provides some serious comfort.
Personal Experience with Chrome Bags and Metropolis Bag
First, I am jumping the gun and giving this initial review because I have been a customer of Chrome Bags for four plus years now. I have a hunter green, first generation(?) Metropolis Messenger Bag and I love everything about it. I wanted to compare the first generation to the new generation bags and determine what all differences they have, then allow Robb to really dig in and review the new pretty blue bag we received.
A bit of back story, Chrome Bags came as a recommendation to me from a good friend, following suit, myself as well as seven friends all own Chrome Bags and everyone who I interact with who asks about the bag ends up ordering one as well (so they say), which is definitely great business for Chrome. Their bags come equipped with some wonderful technology, their signature seat-belt clasp and buckle that everyone seems to recognize immediately; the quick release handle, which is different on the new bags, but still very wonderful; and the bright red and black logo they sport on the flap of their merch.
My Metropolis has been around the world, literally. It has been to all fifty states; snow-boarding at Whistler, Vancouver, B.C., Canada; throughout Asia: Japan, Korea, China and Russia; and into the urban jungles of Mexico. My bag is pushing five now and it honestly looks brand new. I have one of their macbook sleeves and I carry my notebook in it, no matter what bag I am carrying. I would recommend it to everyone.
