Outdoor Research Rangefinder Messenger Bag

Confession time. This one’s not an obvious choice for urban and international travel as the look defies mainstream fashion. Once deployed with in-flight essentials and travel documents, the 18L Rangefinder set the course for success on the way to Santiago, Chile. With or without a laptop, testers watched the bag shed precipitation and grime; props to weather-fighting fabric and zipper choices along with welded seams. Able to protect bulky, sharp and odd-sized objects (including a portable bocce set, compact binoculars and a stash of beef jerky), Rangefinder’s drawcord cinch top took charge from LA to Lima.  Other pieces in this Outdoor Research collection combine utility with signature touches like faux leather patches.
