HAVEN'T RATED
You want a messenger that’s built tough, with an edge to it that states in no uncertain terms it’s not your run-of-the-mill bag. Meet the Recon from Defy. Available in M35 military truck tarp or waxed canvas, the Recon is a solid operator, with top-quality AustriAlpin buckles and a mix of interior and exterior pockets to keep your gear under control. Plus it comes in a range of sizes so you can pick a partner that’s right for your needs.
