The reviewer found the Cordura fabric tough and apparently water-resistant, but lacked confirmation that the Junction City Messenger Bag was waterproof. The Junction City Messenger Bag has a wide shoulder strap that the reviewer found comfortable and less likely to dig into his shoulder. The Junction City Messenger Bag includes two mesh pockets, a small mesh pocket, narrow organizer slots, and a zippered front-flap pocket.
An adjustable waist stability strap clips to the Junction City Messenger Bag, keeping it close and reducing movement during bicycle riding. The reviewer says the stability strap also helps prevent the Junction City Messenger Bag from shifting uncomfortably during ordinary walking.
