I need a non-tactical messenger or briefcase for work. I’d prefer something with a lot of organization built in, but am not opposed to adding it myself later. I’ve been carrying a Hazard 4 Kato and it’s just gotten too small most days. To add difficulty points, I also occasionally off-body CCW, so some discreet, easy access pockets would be nice.
My normal edc is:
8″ tablet
a couple notebooks or pads
4-5 pens/pencils
small FAK
retainer (stupid braces!)
Spyderco Stretch
Multi-tool
1-2 full size textbooks
32 oz Nalgene
4sevens Quark AA
extra glasses
4 AA’s
a little paracord (12-15 ft)
G19 with one extra magazine
So far, I’ve been checking out the Timbuk2 Command, Tom Bihn Cadet, and Vertx Courier. The Command seems like it would work, TB Cadet doable, but pricey and not sure about CCW ability, and the Vertex looks BIG and seems to get no/little love from you guys for anything other than CCW.
Help and thanks in advance!
