Product Information
Full details
The Carhartt Messenger Bag is designed for professionals and students who need a rugged, reliable storage solution for their daily commute or worksite needs. Its standout benefit is the combination of lightweight construction with a durable water-repellent finish, ensuring your electronics stay protected in unpredictable weather. While its heavy-duty build excels in utility, the minimalist aesthetic means it lacks the internal organizational pockets found in more complex tech-specific organizers.

FAQs
Does this bag fit a 17-inch laptop?

Is this bag completely waterproof?
It features a Rain Defender water-repellent finish, which is highly resistant to light rain and moisture, but it is not intended to be waterproof or submerged in water.
Can I wash the bag in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the durable finish and the structural integrity of the bag.

What material is the bag made of?
The bag is constructed from durable, lightweight polyester.
Does the bag have internal pockets for small items?
It features a zippered front pocket for small essentials, though the main compartment is primarily open-concept to maximize space.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels uncomfortable under heavy loads
Adjust the strap length so the bag sits higher on your back, which helps distribute the weight more evenly across your shoulder.
Buckles are difficult to snap
Check for debris or dirt inside the buckle mechanism; use a dry brush to clear out any grit that may be preventing a clean click.
