Nothing beats the straightforward design of a messenger bag for hands-free carry of the day’s essentials. Whether it’s a tablet and a rain jacket, a laptop and lunch, or dry socks and a camera, The Surveyor Messenger bag from Filson is a reliable go-to cross-body bag.

It’s made from lightweight 500D Cordura nylon in a canvas weave similar to the brands iconic Tin Cloth and 1000D Cordura woven like their tried-and-true Rugged Twill. Both of these highly abrasion-resistant materials are dry-waxed to provide the legendary water resistance of our heritage waxed cottons. A buckle-secured flap protects the main compartment’s contents and the shoulder strap is removable to prevent snagging during storage. The interior features a padded laptop sleeve and an elastic loop to keep a water bottle upright. Two zippered exterior pockets provide quick access to essentials.
