Spyderco x Vanquest Envoy-13 Messenger Bag

#1

Post by Mushroom »

Just saw this posted to Spydercos Instagram page!

https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/BG01/1818

Description from Spydercos website:
“The product of an exclusive co-branding relationship with Vanquest -- an undisputed industry leader in high-performance nylon gear -- the "Spyderco by Vanquest" messenger bag is a distinctive version of their revolutionary Envoy-13 model. This highly refined fourth-generation design is fully configurable to meet all your everyday carry (EDC) needs. Its high-visibility padded main compartment accommodates laptops or tablets up to 13 inches in size, allows zippered access without opening the flap, and is loop lined to accept dividers and other hook-and-loop accessories.

Expertly crafted from state-of-the-art materials including ultra-durable 1000-D and 500-D Cordura® nylon and YKK® zippers, this versatile design includes 22 strategically located pockets and slots for maximum organization. Collapsible bottle holders at each end accept 32oz (1L) Nalgene bottles and a concealed carry compartment with a fully loop-lined panel allows instant access. Proudly bearing Spyderco logos on the inside and outside of the flap and on all its high-visibility zipper pulls, this is our idea of the perfect EDC messenger bag.”

The price is exactly the same as Vanquest's standard version of the bag--$160. They are in stock and ready to ship.

Stay safe,

$15 more than from reputable online sources, not bad. I like the brighter zipper pulls.

Looks really nice! I have zero use for a bag like this but if they ever do a regular backpack or rucksack then I would be in.

A backpack would be awesome!

On the messenger bag, I won't be carrying it around as an EDC bag but i'll definitely be able to put it to good use! :cool:

Same here. I agree it looks well designed and well made though.

Nice Man Purse! :) :D

Good to see the battle for equality of the sexes still marches on ... in a discrete sort of way.

I don't have much use for this type of bag either, but I'll be waiting for a backpack!

My only slight problem is the exterior bug logo on the bag. I love my Spydercos, but I personally don't like to advertise what I'm carrying. Not for lack of brand love, but for my desire to stay discreet and anonymous. :cool:

I love the Bug on the inner flap though!

Looks good, and the one Vanquest product I have is very good indeed.

I lose stuff in the few pockets I already have on me, though. :o

I have been carrying some sort of over the shoulder bag for about 30 years. It is indispensable for caring my laptop, or these days my iPad, phone notebook pens pencils water and all the other junk I tend to accumulate when I was working in IT and project management. I only once or twice had some idiot snigger about a man purse I just took it as an indication of the source and moved on with my day.

This one is definitely on my list. My current smaller sized messenger bag has literally been dragged across half the world. I think it’s time to retire it. Good job Spyderco.
