“We packed the Ristretto Messenger with our black MacBook, power cable, a letter-size spiral notebook, a paperback, a smartphone, two pens, and our wallet and keys–about what we’d expect to carry for an afternoon of work at the local coffee shop. The bag was full, but not bursting; in fact, the Cordura fabric held its shape well. Even fully loaded the bag was comfortable to carry on its 1.5-inch-wide adjustable nylon strap, which includes a wide nonslip pad to help hold the strap in place. (The company does offer two alternative strap choices, which cost between $15 and $20 to add.) In addition, a waist strap helps keep the Ristretto from sliding around, though it looks a little uncool; the strap is removable if you find you don’t use it.”
