Sounds like a lot to go through... are we talking a "real" messenger bag here, or something styled like one?
I used to use a backpack all the time, but have had issues with one shoulder, and got a Chrome bag (Citizen) that goes across the other shoulder. Between the way it fits, and the stabilizer strap it goes nowhere.. without all the bungee stuff.
