<p>I have been using a backpack throughout high school and was interested in using a messenger bag occasionally. What is a good, strong messenger bag that offers back support?</p>
<p>Are messenger bags popular at your university and do you use them?</p>
<p>Please let me know. Thanks.</p>
<p>No. You’ll get really annoyed that messenger bags kill only ONE of your shoulders. Use a backpack, they have padding, they split the weight up evenly and they aren’t too likely to screw up your spinal alignment and posture (unless you overload, but I can’t see that happening since you don’t really need to carry around more than one or two textbooks at once).</p>
<p>Only journalist majors get messenger bags. Do you want to look like a journalist major/tool?</p>
<p>Yes, instead look like an engineer major or architect major.</p>
<p>messenger bags are not popular, at all.</p>
<p>I use one, its waterproofed (as much as possible anyway) and has a very thick strap. It works very well for me since the area I’m in has a large amount of precipitation. </p>
<p>The maker is Manhattan Portage and I highly recommend them. I’ve had my bag for four years with only slight wearing with a semi-large book load everyday. </p>
<p>No, messenger bags are not the greatest for your back but I’ve used one for six years and haven’t had any problems. And no one is judging you because you choose to use a messenger bag.</p>
<p>It’s not the most popular thing at my college but they are used.</p>
<p>ginab… everyone uses backpacks. Your comment doesn’t even make any sense.</p>
<p>Messenger bags are popular here but backpacks are just as popular if not moreso. I like the look of a messenger but I am not willing to strain my back.</p>
<p>Get a messenger bag only if you plan on wearing suits a lot.</p>
<p>a messenger bag was good in high school, when i wasnt walking short distances but i could carry a lot at once. its awful for long distances unless you’re carrying small loads. a lot of stuff hurts your shoulder and the bag keeps bouncing off your hip. not fun</p>
<p>hadsed- my comment exists to mock the lack of grasp on the English language you seem to have while at the same time mocking journalism majors.
If I have to explain it…well it just reinforces my comment.</p>
<p>I judge those who use messenger bags.
Backpacks are just all around more convenient. Mine has a slit for my laptop too. It’s awesome.</p>
