The charcoal gray BX² Messenger Bag from Brenthaven gets you up and out the door with style, durability and flexibility. This bag can be used to hold your standard DSLR system containing 2-3 basic lenses as well as a flash and some accessories. It's also got a separate padded pocket for your 15.4" laptop. And, if you remove all the interchangeable interior foam dividers, you've got a single large storage space that can be used for just about anything-a true messenger bag.
The PVC-free (poly vinyl chloride) bag is made from Brenthaven's water-resistant ballistic nylon that is coated with a polyurethane backing for added strength and durability. The overall material is abrasion-resistant since Brenthaven understands that bags get beat up and, occasionally, unceremoniously dropped. To that end, the included BX² foam on the bottom of the bag provides even more protection from bumps and drops.
The most unique facet of this bag is the bag's tethered LED light that can serve many purposes. First, in low light, it makes locating gear easy. If you're out on the trail, map reading becomes a breeze. Finally, there's nothing like having some kind of signal light in case of an emergency. In addition, the large front flap has a zippered top opening for rapid access to your gear.
For accessories, there's a large zippered pocket for cables, batteries and other similar sized items. Open slip pockets are for pens and business cards. The adjustable strap is made to be used cross body so if you're on a bike, the bag stays in place while you travel. A top grab handle completes your carry options. For rough weather, a pull out rain cover rapidly deploys for ultimate protection of the bag.
The zippers have long pull tabs for easy use with gloves or when the weather is marginal. The hardware has been tested to withstand 250 lb of pressure. With its capacity, ease of use, flexibility and strength, the BX² Messenger Bag is an all in one way to get around with a wide variety of gear or documents. This bag is backed by Brenthaven's 100% lifetime guarantee.
