Patagonia Half Mass 3-in-1 Bicycle Messenger Bag
The versatile Half Mass bag includes a removable padded notebook sleeve you can use with the waistbelt as a stand-alone shoulder computer bag that fits a few files plus a 17-inch notebook. You can also use the messenger bag without the sleeve as a two- or three-compartment bag. Or integrate the two and you'll have a terrific padded computer bag.
- Padded notebook sleeve is usable independent of the larger bag
- Larger bag allows for greater carrying capacity when the notebook sleeve is removed
- Padded sleeve can be secured into Half Mass to safely hold it fully suspended above ground
- Large elastic stuff pocket is big enough to hold a jacket or sweater
Overview
Padded on the backside and along the contoured base, the Half Mass main compartment fully protects its contents and provides structure. In addition, a padded removable notebook sleeve suspends your notebook off the ground in case the bag is accidentally set down hard.
All-weather protection
The cover flap overlaps the sides of the bag to keep out weather; the top pocket closes with a water-resistant zipper. Made with 600-denier polyester (100% recycled) with a polyurethane coating and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish.

Patagonia Half Mass 3-in-1 Bicycle Messenger Bag
Versatility Plus!!!
Written by CR from Ipswich

This is a super versatile messenger bag. First, the messenger strap is comfortable with the right amount of strap padding and will fit a wide range of users. I'm 6'1"/250lb and use the bag in the "messenger" carry position comfortably. Previous bags I tried would only expand enough to allow over the shoulder carrying. Next, the clean look of the bag will work if you are actually a messenger or if you're an executive in a business environment. Patagonia! Meets all quality and functionality features one would expect from this manufacturer. Minimal and efficient feeling but plenty of perfectly placed pockets to stow everything needed to a day on the road or in the air. Internal removable laptop sleeve provides added protection. Finally, all this for $99. Does not disappoint in any way. Kudos Patagonia! …More
