Messegner bag vs. bookbag
i currently commute to school (2+ miles) everyday and i always end up at class with a sweaty back from my bookbag. i've been thinking about getting a messenger bag to switch things up.
my question is: will a messenger bag leave my back less sweaty than a regular bookbag?
thanks, any opinions appreciated.

No.
But a milkcrate on the rack that the bookbag drops into should and is def cheaper.

If you settle on a messenger bag, make sure to use the under arm strap so the bag doesn't rotate around your torso.

A bag that attaches to a rear rack is best, if a rack will work for you.

+1, your back is still going to be sweaty. I've got a Chrome messenger back that leaves one of my shoulders and half of my lumbar untouched by a bag...there's still a lot of back/bag contact.

if you have a rack and a bungee chord or even string, you can lay yoru bag on the rack, tighten it down with the chord/string and be happy... a co worker has been doing this for nearly 30 years, he has never, ever had a problem and for the last 15 years he has been carrying lap tops this way, no worries and no sweaty back.
