Metropolis Review

11/19/11 by Greg

My pick is the Metropolis – I feel naked without it. It has my whole life inside of it: where I go, it goes. My Metro carries everything I want and the tools for every eventuality - plus space for my rain coat.

great quality, large capacity, functional design, will last a lifetime

8/7/11 by T. Smile

The Metropolis from Chrome is the epitome of quality, boasting construction that feels like it will last, as the company promises, for a lifetime. I purchased this bag to ameliorate my bike commute to school, one which was fraught with discomfort and danger caused by the narrow strap, poor design and smaller capacity of my previous bag.

The storage capacity of the Metropolis is Texan in its expanse, providing room for just about anything you could carry. And yet, the design of the strap, with its integrated padding and signature seatbelt-style buckle, provides load dispersion and a comfortable ride no matter how much cargo is in tow. On my 30-minute ride, I typically carry an accordion-style file folder full of documents, one or two textbooks, several notebooks, an overstuffed lunchbox, towel, shower supplies, change of clothes, shoes, and Nalgene bottle. I always have room to spare, my belongings stay dry through the fiercest deluge or swampy bombardment of back-perspiration, and the design hugs the cargo to my body, preventing annoying/dangerous shifting during sprints up those big hills.

Another great feature for the cyclists considering this bag is the seatbelt-style buckle which makes taking off and putting on the bag a breeze while wearing a helmet.

In my opinion, the only drawback is the price. However, when you think of all the bags that you would consume and discard in the course of a lifetime, you're really being an environmental hero and a savvy consumer by choosing a bag from Chrome. Just like any lifelong commitment, however, make sure you choose carefully the one you want to be with before diving in :)

Best Messenger Bag By Far

5/11/12 by Angel E. Reyes

So I consider myself a bag fanatic, messenger or backpack, and this has to be one of the most comfortable bags out there. Sure it's pricey but it will last you 2 or 3x the time a regular bag would. The Metro has a large main compartment for storing anything really, it would be a bit better if it had more pockets and such but overall it is more than enough. The bag may be "weird" to wear the first few times but after a while you begin to get accustomed and feel out of place not wearing it. The metro holds your cargo close to your body in order to prevent uncomfortable shifting during rides or runs, and makes a semi-heavy load seem lightweight because of this.

Sure it costs a bit but I am confident it will handle anything you throw at it!!!

This is my favorite bag by far.

5/7/12 by Matthew Nelson

OK, so I have bought a-lot of bags in the past years. I found myself buying a different bag every month, but this one is perfect. Every other bag was just not right, either it was too small or the straps hurt, or it was just not piratical. The Chrome Metropolis bag is perfect. I carry a lot of stuff with me, because it seems like the day I don't have something is the day I need it, so I have learned too just take everything with me. so this is what I put in my bag it make it easier.
Camera in camera bag with 3 lenses
drawing pad, notebook, and book (one or two depending)
Six yes thats right six cans of Montana paint
sweater, street shoes or clip ons so I can change when I get off my bike
and a bunch of small things like, pens, sun glasses, keys, headphones, spray can tips, and tools, bike pump, bike lock, extra tube.
and yet its not that bulky, easy too get on and off public transportation and you don't have too worry about people looking in it behind you on the train, street car, subway, bus, ect.
Well all in all I give this bag a 10 out of 10.
