Freitag’s newest messenger bag is made from trash to last

I remember today: Sinewy is skillfully woven by tightening cars and stopping at the traffic light in front of me. But instead of dropping a foot, he lost a higher balance of his fixed plammings for about a minute, his cross bag blows against urgent deliverys at home. That was’ 90s San Francisco, Matthew Anyone can benefit from this free era By wearing a messenger bag – only compatible Dorks Dorks.

Switzerland -based Freitag began in 1993 with messenger bags, and this spirit survives with the end, F685 Henry. It is heavy, incredibly waterproof and permanent because it is made of worn seat belts, recycled plastic bottles, and Fabrics that work as walls are used on European trucks. This means that there are no two corresponding Freitag bags in a world of wholesale producing.

Ironically, Freitag bags are designed to continue although they are made of garbage. The Messenger Freitag bag that I bought for nearly 20 years of tasks around the city is still. I expect the same longevity from Henry, whom I have been tested as a multi -purpose gearp bag over the past few weeks. This makes its 330 -dollar price point more acceptable, as well as ensuring generous repair for three years after registering the purchase.

Freitag’s F685 Henry is a 13 -liter Messenger bag that can be expanded to 20 liters, giving him enough size to work as a daily bus. This is how I was testing it while walking and riding a bicycle to stores, gym, train and work space.

Like all Freitag bags, the company is strongly inclined to fasteners and vilacro to install all of these hemp together. There are a lot of things that open the main cabin that makes the loud loud Shhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiip This will definitely draw attention at a meeting or expel you from the stage. I hate this velcro sound, hooks and the ring in clothes and gather parts of debris over time. But this brutal closure in power is definitely connecting with the aesthetic Freitag. The closing of hard doors adds the rhythm to performance.

The thing that I love in Henry – and all the bags of the Messenger – is the ease of the lining shoulder belt for the distance forward. With the folding of the harsh upper materials Just the right – Something that comes with practice – a little shoulder spoiler allows me to easily access the outer sinuses, one of which is firm and contains a main rope. Another side pocket allows rapid access to a wallet or phone.

You can also secure the bag against your body with a three -point belt. This has done very well, but it is not really necessary on the Amsterdam protected cycling corridors, as I do not have to avoid cars and outside. The bag is a parameter with recycled trucks signs, which help in seeing at night.

Here, I will let Freitag display the advantages of the bag because it is meaningless marketing, is part of the company’s magic.

As a gearb bag, Henry works better with the addition of your camera cubes and bags to keep things. Otherwise, everything will mix together inside the main pocket. The laptop cover provides a set of filling for protection against bumps, but not enough for me to throw the bag down when I go home – I gently put it on the floor, instead.

There is a lot of belt for permits or connecting the elements around the bag for the external pregnancy. This includes lock U lock through belts on the external flap, for example, or the guaranteed yoga mattress below the integrated tapes. Fortunately, all the bars of the cyst can be stored inside an outer cover below to take a cleaner look.

The biggest defect to Henry is hardness and weight. Most of the bag is designed from a powerful polyester fabric created from recycled pets. If it is like my basic Freitag, this material will become flexible over time, but the weight is always present. Empty, Henry Al -Makayeh is launched at 3.26 pounds, which is at least a few ounces that is much heavier than 45L version to Backpack outdoor to design peak.

I do not mind weight if it is translated into longevity, and the bag has already begun to decline with regular use. Compared to my Freitag, this bag is courage, which must be translated into better protection for your expensive tools.

Freitag told me that the Messenger bags make up only 30 percent of their current sales, but they recently returned to growth. It may be purchased by people in platform shoes and suffocates Other fashion in the nineties that recently returned? great. Since messenger bags are excellent, Freitag F685 Henry is a very good messenger bag to carry your equipment … if you are fine with Velcro.
