Chrome On Your Ride.

Aight then, straight to it. I know these bags are fully functional and made or the serious bike messangers out on the roads in major cities getting the job done every day, like army of ninja-trained, street-level urban FedEx'ers on Emperial speeder bikes... HOWEVER... These are the hottest, most stylish, largely usable and consumer lust inducing bags ever!


A very uniquely designed bag, it (the main style of messenger bag) has a very ideal carrying position that sits flat against the user's back while maintaining that over-the-shoulder style that is a staple in messenger style bags. But no matter what style you choose the calling card of the bags is the automobile seat belt buckle and accompanying fit system that allows fit adjustments happen with one hand and on the fly. Wait... one hand + on the fly is not the combo of words I was going for.





With a list of features such as marked water-resistance, large volume, various bag styles and formats, and extras that will allow you to carry normally back-packed and stacked. When you order from the Chrome site you can add on celly holsters and laptop sleeves made to mix and match with your new bag. This is especially nice if you have had problems finding a bag with enough guts to carry that sexy mutha effin' 17" MacBook you just copped. Yep, go get some.

Pack it up, Pack it in, Let me begin... O'GIO Bags.

I'm a backpacker from my younger days. You know the kids who carried their lives in a dusty, beat up Eastpack. A range of items from Walkmans and music to crumpled up job apps from mall. I never really outgrew that means of carrying, call it nostalgia or the fact that I'm still that kid no matter how you dress me up.

Enter O'GIO.

These packs are the sickest example of urban mobility and the need to have your stuff with you and not back at the flat. With a range of packs from backpacks to duffels they've got the spectrum covered and the years of research behind them. I remember having an O'GIO mobile locker pack that was seriously a moving gym locker. That was 11 years ago and I wish I still had it!

This is my current O'GIO 'Nyquist' pack. This rather pedestrian looking backpack can actually fit my entire mobile office allowing me absolute mobility, absolutely. Books, papers, magazines, my 15" laptop and every cable, mouse and wire I'd ever need is in there. But here's the magic; it never gets bulky and fits slim to the back.



So impressed am I that I just ordered my new O'GIO 'Hip Hop' messenger pack in 'punk rock black' for my pending trip to NYC.



Don't sleep on O'GIO! Check out to peep the best options I've seen for mobile professionals.
