For a long time, messenger bags have been closely associated with active lifestyles, especially those of bike commuters and city-goers. While this is likely because they combine convenience and versatility, these bags also have significant shortcomings.
However, that could become a thing of the past if Dsptch’s new Zero-1 messenger bag has anything to say about it. With its innovative carry system and some serious upgrades in materials and construction, this EDC bag solves one of the biggest problems with the category.

Harness your strength
So, what’s the biggest issue with most messenger bags? The strap. While an over-the-shoulder strap works well for speed and relative convenience, it’s hardly ergonomic.
Typically, these straps put the bulk of the bag’s weight on a single shoulder. That can cause discomfort for the user over time, especially when the bag is weighed down. It can even mess with the user’s center of gravity, which can throw off balance and be dangerous when moving at higher speeds (like on a bike).
