The Ridgeback Messenger Bag

STOIC AND STEADFAST

The Ridgeback is a back-to-basics shoulder satchel and saddle bag ideally suited to motorcyclists, FIFO workers and outdoors types. The pinch-flap design creates a discreet but generous opening which protects the inside of the bag from weather and dust, while the floor of the bag is a huge 15cm x 38cm. Ample space for a light jacket, lunchbox, camera gear, gloves etc.

The flap and the base panel are both double-layered 16oz heavy beeswaxed, cotton canvas. That’s 32oz’s of scuff and skid protection for your gear inside. We also reinforce the back panel with two added strips of canvas. Using Industrial strength machines we punch tough nylon thread through the cotton webbing and 32 ounces of canvas to create some significant soft pannier options. Double, real brass D-rings at the top give you real options if you want to fix the bag to your motorcycle, bicycle or Wheelchair. Use our K80 and K70 straps to configure a solution that fits you. 

Like all Jack Stillman bags, the more you use it and maintain it, the more unique it’s going to look over the years to come.
