I figured a messenger bag would work best, but there are too many options, and it's hard to figure out what I want just by looking at pics online. I don't have any real options locally, so let's hear some suggestions.
So far, Timbuk2's small classic seems like a decent bag, but I'd rather spend less money on one if possible.
Man, google: messenger bag reviews
You will get a lot more info that way. The info you will get here will depend on who's logged-in at the time. Most bags out there will do most of what you need. The best advice is to hit up your local shops and try some on, if you can, as bags are a personal thing.
I've owned at least a 1/2 dozen bags. I like Chrome. I don't like Timbuk2.
Honestly, I advise using a backpack. Lots more choices with lots more options all with much lower prices. But, that's my 2 cents.
