Our classic strap setup features nice, thick webbing, with both edges covered with trim for comfort and ease of adjustment. Nickel-plated hardware allows for off-the-hip adjustment. This is the default strap for all of our single strap bags, and although these days most people opt for the upgrade to our newer, padded 215 strap, old-school types still appreciate the incredible versatility of our original strap.

For those that choose to wear their bags loosely around the body or just off of one shoulder, the casual strap is a nice, simple, and soft alternative to our more technical straps. Features supple seat belt webbing and easy slide adjustment.

The Pro Strap system features an integrated shoulder pad that incorporates adjustment/detachment at the center of the chest via a military-grade polymer Cobra GT quick-release buckle. D-rings facilitate easy tightening/loosening of the strap. This is by far our most popular strap option, due to the overall durability and ease of use.

When you choose to Build Your Own Messenger, you can select either left or right shoulder orientation. Bags from the "In the Shop" section are left shoulder unless otherwise indicated.

Also known as an "anti-sway strap". This runs from the bottom corner of the bag up to a sliding quick release clip on the main strap, and will eliminate any side-to-side movement of the bag while it's on your back. Can also just be run straight across the waist to add support for heavy loads, or even in triple duty as an extender strap to carry oversized cargo. Waist / sternum strap comes standard on all single strap bags.

Two bellows-style pockets that span the front of the bag. Pockets and flaps are lined and weatherproof. These are included on single strap bags, with exception of the Mini Messenger.

Most of the time, the heavyweight Velcro® on the flap will be enough to keep your bag closed, so you can just keep your flap closure straps buckled up in these instead of letting them hang down below the bag. These are included on every bag in our lineup. By the way, all of our plastic hardware is made by YKK® or National Molding®.

Available for all Midpacks, Flight Packs, and Megapacks. Two side pockets, with mesh drainage. Great for bottles, U-locks, and other small cargo.

The bottom of the bag usually takes the most abuse, so it makes sense to add reinforcement there. We include this for every single bag that comes off of a R.E.load sewing machine; stitching an extra layer of material to the base of the bag so you won't have to worry. Choose from either Codura® or extra-tough Ballistic Nylon material.

These run across the base of the bag and allow you to easily adjust the depth of the bottom of the bag by pulling on d-rings. Standard on our X-Large Messenger, Midpack EX, Flight Pack EX, and Megapack.

This accent adds a subtle reflective line to the base seam of your bag. In daylight it looks like a simple silver contour and at night it will reflect a sharp line of light.

Sitting on the inside front wall, the internal organizer features subdivisions for smaller items, velcro® closure, and multiple pen slots. The size of your organizer pocket will scale with the overall size of your bag.

This feature gives you a set of 3 open pockets on the front internal face of the bag.Available on Small through XL Messengers.

The rear inside pocket spans the entire width of the back inside wall of the bag, and features full-length Velcro® closure (with the exception of the Rucksack and C-Series bags, which have a simple open pocket). Great for storing laptops! Available on all models of bags with the exception of the Mini Messeneger.

Adds a divider with pen slots inside the outside pocket. Available for Midpacks, Flight Packs, and Megapacks.
