My Search for a Man-Bag
There was a time when I did not even carry a bag.
But that was the time I only had one cellular phone.
Now, I have three. And I don't even have them on metal protective skins. So putting them in my pockets is out of the question.
So at first, I bought a small one to put my phones and my iPod. But it was cheap and broke when I jammed in my PSP.
Then, I bought a bigger bag for cheap. But it had shoddy workmanship so it was on the brink of disintegrating.
I figured, I might as well buy and expensive durable bag than go through a lot of cheap ones.
So then began my search for the perfect man-bag. It had to be a shoulder bag because I already have a lot of bags (a Crumpler Hee-goer, a Targus neoprene and a Samsonite Sahora backpack) for my computer. It should not be that big. And it had to be durable.
The bag that caught my eye was Lacoste City Casual M86006. But I was too cheap to buy that.
But then this bag from Pacsafe caught my eye: A Pacsafe Metrosafe 200 shoulder bag.
It was not as big as my old man-bag but that had a lot of space. And it had a lot of anti-theft features. It's slash proof, as it has wire mesh integrated into the strap and into the body panels.
Well, see for yourself:
And best of all, my friend is the local distributor of Pacsafe in the Philippines so she gave me a discount. I even got a camera strap for my DSLR, but they will deliver it next week as they ran out.
Will blog about its performance at some future date. I just got it today.
And my friends tell my I should call it a "man-purse" or a "murse" for short. But I've gotten used to calling it a "man-bag" already.
