My sweet new messenger bag
I took the plunge and ordered a Jandd Hurricane messenger bag. Its SWEET. It has a few downfalls, namely the black lining and somewhat limited organizational capabilities, but more than makes up for it with the rediculously overkill padded strap, quick right/left change-over (helpful when I had a broken left collarbone), effect cross strap, extremely heavy duty construction and overall killer quality (like any Jandd product).
Heres some pics (yes thats me striking a pose, and yes, I can't believe I'm single either

Looks good, I really like Jandd products. Exceptional quality. Enjoy.

Its got two small pockets in front, and then two black pockets that just sorta dangle off the inside lining. No real stash pocket that I've seen... yet...

go for it.. I made a custom frame pad cover.. lesser scale.. but it's neat... just used hot glue though. those bags look sweet.. look a little similar to the chrome bag, and the loosen tighten system is the same... the customization is where it counts.

I can't believe you actually posted pics of you and your bag on this message board. Why don't you post some action shots next, I am sure everyone would really like to see them, or how about track standing in your living room, no handed, with the bag full of school books....now that would be cool

How about kissing my ass?
Actually I really appreciate pics of gear on these boards, shots on company websites normally only show the good sides and try to cover up stuff that you might not like. Personal shots uncover all of that so on the information side of things alone i think it's good.
Tvail- I would agree with you if he was like look at my sweet new bag, its so much cooler than yours is, and because I own one I'm cooler then you, and also I push 53-11 and I can crush world records because I lift weights. But he was totally humble in his post.

If you do not like a post, just don't respond. Very simple.

that wasn't directed at you in the least, more of a general announcement.

I'd think a picture would be kind of handy...

Thanks guys, I appreciate that most of you seem to get why I posted the review. As for posing with the bag... the one question with a messenger bag is "how does it hang"? Well, look at the pic to get an idea of a) how big it is and b) how it settles on your back. I'm glad some found this useful. That was the intent. Thanks.
