WORK BAG

I ditched the old free laptop bag provided by my a firm as it was costing me in weight. I have used many of these similar bags in the past and they are all made with the same heavy cordura material and packed full of pockets and zippers. While we get these for free, they are simply not worth it in the long run due to the extra weight. For example, the messenger bag I gave up weighed 4.5lbs before anything was put in it. The Peak Design Messenger weights only 2 lb 12oz and has just as much room.

Estimating that I would carry my bag 30 minutes each day to and from work, for 260 workdays a year, this small change saves 420 lbs over 130 hrs!

At $250 it is expensive, but is well built and versatile.

If you are looking for a backpack, Peak Design also carries two sizes for $260 and $290.
