Once you figure out the company-saving formula, stuff your laptop and files into the Patagonia Critical Mass Bag and pedal to the lab before the reactor explodes. Get to work fast with your most important items safely tucked inside this padded messenger bag’s main pocket and padded laptop sleeve.
- Padded, removable laptop sleeve suspends your computer inside the bag so it doesn’t come in contact with the ground, in case you get tossed over your handlebars
- An optional waist belt secures the bag against your body during those hectic, two-wheeled commutes through dicy traffic
- Laptop sleeve can be carried separately as a sling and features a zippered security pocket and organization compartments for test tubes or keys to the lab
- Overlapping flap and water-repellent materials bead away the rain drops when you get caught in a shower
- Internal stretch elastic pocket holds your rain shell when not in use
- Fleece-lined pocket on shoulder strap holds your phone while you ride to work
- Side stretch pocket holds your water bottle for hydrating at stop lights
- Reflective strip shines bright in headlights to improve your visibility to drivers
Bottom Line: No matter how dire the commute, the Critical Mass will get you there with your valuables intact.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
Best bag I will ever own except for...

The one thing I would love to see is a waterproof inner lining like you see on other messenger bags. Aside from that, this bag is the best bag ever. Carries my computer and a ton of other stuff but doesn't look to huge or take up too much space. Very well situated pockets that let you easily access all your smaller things like keys, kindle, ipod, etc without having to take the bag off. Bike Strap is clutch when you are hauling around on the bike; keeps the bag in place on your back and doesn't let it fly back and forth. It's still very water resistant. I'm not going to worry about my computer being in there during a slight drizzle, but I wouldn't trust it to keep dry inside in a heavy rain if you are doing a bike commute. Other than that, I highly recommend this bag.
The Critical Mass has a DWR coating and is designed to perform well in the rain as a commuter bag. There's a gusset where the strap attaches to the bag and the main flap overlaps there, which is designed to keep rain out. I'd feel pretty confident riding in the rain with my laptop and other stuff inside the Critical Mass.

Its 100% recycled polyester so prob not waterproof. You could apply a waterproofer to it to increase the amount of water resistance..but I wouldn't recommend riding with this baby in a downpour.

Love the versatility of this bag. The laptop sleeve can be used on its own or secured inside the bag with a sturdy clip. Convenient pockets inside/outside providing just enough storage but does not encourage over packing causing excess bulk/weight. Looks equally appropriate in the office, out for the weekend or in the woods. Lastly, the shoulder strap and pad are excellent. Long enough for my 6'1", 250lb build and very comfortable under full load. Highly recommended. C
