OspreyUnisex-Adult Metron 18 Bike Commuter Messenger Bag

I bought this and returned it; reason: you can't move the shoulder pad along the strap. The bag is designed to be worn diagonally across your back. Pity, it looked really good otherwise, and I've generally found Osprey bags to be excellent.

Love this! Osprey makes such great backpacks, why would their sling sack be any different? Has multiple compartments/organizers. Easy to sling over my shoulder. I am a righty, and this is definitely designed for righties. Would 10/10 buy again.

Just Osprey

This bag holds everything I need in an organized fashion and it is comfortable to carry

Die Tasche ist gut verarbeitet und macht einen langlebigen Eindruck. Mir persönlich sind die Gurte etwas zu kurz, so dass ich die Tasche nicht bequem, nur über eine Schulter, tragen kann. Als Messenger Tasche, quer über den Rücken getragen, fühlt sie sich leicht und bequem an. Das Schulterpolster erfüllt seinen Zweck, lässt sich aber nicht verschieben. Die Verschlusshaken sind schick, aber im Vergleich mit Steckverschluss oder Steckschnallen etwas unhandlicher.Auf dem Fahrrad sitzt die Tasche, dank des stabilisierenden Riemens, safe und bequem.

Osprey makes great bags and this one really measures up. I think it is very stylish and modern, and I like the material, colors, and hardware. The red interior provides great contrast and looks great. The zippers are terrific. The strap is very comfortable to wear as a sling but does get twisted at times which is annoying. Shoulder carry is the reason for one less star, the padded portion of the strap favors the left side of the bag and puts the balance off a little (I carry on my left). The front clips are very easy to adjust and quick to get into the bag or lock it tight.The only exterior zipper pocket is at the bottom and holds the rain cover. This bag won't offer quick access without the front flap open. Something that could bother some people who are truly on the go with this.Once the clips to the front cover are removed, the bag is easy to get into. The two front zipper pockets are excellently laid out ample. The smaller is perfect for airpod sized items while the 2nd pocket has a lot of organization areas. The laptop pocket is well padded and fits my 14" Macbook Pro perfectly. Another pocket perfectly fits my 11" iPad Pro with its magic keyboard. Two additional pockets can each hold an iPad mini-sized object and/or notebooks. All these pockets get protected from spilling by a top flap. With all my devices, the main open area still can contain a tech pouch, your lunch, and more. You also have two water bottle mesh pockets that can be used but also can be undone to give you more space. It holds a lot and somehow isn't bulky!The back pad is very comfortable and breathes well. Also, the bag stands up well on its own without falling over.
