Hey, thanks. Henry, you read my mind.

It wasn't that hard. :redflip

The messenger bags are kinda pricey. They are around $150, but they're really solid and definitely waterproof.

If you are looking for messenger bags, you should also check out Timbuk2. Good stuff. The original messenger bag.

A buddy of mine at work drops his regular packpack into one of those ortlieb bags and it works really well. Just FYI.

I like the chrome stuff best out of the three manufacturers. But, I still don't see how any of those bags keep your laptop from getting wet. They all fold over the top and essentially the ends are still exposed. So, you'd still need to have the thing in a waterproof bag. Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll be deciding between the ortlieb and the chrome.

Jay,

I have two of the Ortlieb bags and they are rock solid. Super tough and no leakage. The backpacks look like crap but you know they'll be squared away.

The ortlieb's aren't quite $150 - second ascent in ballard has the big one for $109. I was thinking about getting one for a trip I'm taking but decided for a bag that was a little less waterproof but bigger and with an internal frame so more comfortable. For around town the ortlieb looked great though.

The Ortlieb rolls up the hole in the top to seal in its freshness. Whereas the Chrome just folds over the top with a really big flap.
