Why you should ride with a Chrome Bag
I love a good bag, and am particularly fond of Filson Bags. I own a Filson large computer bag which has been my go to for a long time. I love the quality of the Filson bags and the fact that they are made in the USA, they are pretty much indestructible. The only gripe I have had with my beloved Filson bag is the fact that it is not really designed for use when riding a bicycle or a scooter. The strap is too long, the bag does not hug your back (in fact, it has to sit on the seat behind me), and can feel a bit bulky and off balance. It’s a wonderful bag for traveling on an airplane, but does not work well at all when traveling on a Vespa scooter. No need to worry, Vespa Lexington has the perfect solution for your bag needs.
Say hello to Chrome Bags, the very best messenger bags money can buy. Similar to my beloved Filson bag, the Chrome Bags are “Made In The USA”, offer unmatched quality, come with a lifetime guarantee, and are designed for commuting via a bike or a scooter. You will not find a better fitting and more comfortable bag than Chrome’s line of messenger bags.
“Chrome messenger bags are made for the urban athlete. The over the shoulder design is all about comfort and style regardless of where your mission leads you. We realize navigating through the streets is hard enough, let alone worrying if all your gear is in one piece at the end of the day. The weatherproof system keeps the weather where it should be, outside your bag. Our unbreakable seatbelt buckle not only looks bad-ass, it serves as a bottle opener and quick release-trigger for on-the-fly placement over the helmet, no matter how heavy the load. Regardless of splitting lanes between cars or people, feel secure knowing you have the best gear on the urban playground.
• Built to last a lifetime: Guaranteed Our messenger bags are constructed here in the USA with the most rugged assembly of industrial materials and hardware available: military spec. seam binding, 1,000 denier Cordura outer shell, 18oz. weatherproof truck tarp inner liner, five bar seatbelt webbing, and nylon 69 thread.
• Functional Our messenger bags are designed with an anatomically correct EVA foam padded shoulder strap and cross chest load stabilizer. Our signature quick release seat-buckle closure allows for on-the-fly one-handed tightening and loosening of the shoulder strap, which features a Velcro accessory mounting strap.
• Weatherproof It’s like a bag within a bag. The independently suspended weatherproof liner freely floats within the outershell, eliminating seams exposed to the outside elements.“
Vespa Lexington offers three different sized Chrome Messenger Bags; the Mini Metro $120 1000cu. inches, the Citizen $140 1400 cu. inches, and the Metropolis $160 2000 cu. inches. Match a Chrome bag up with a nice Corazzo jacket, a Fulmer helmet, and a new Vespa, Piaggio, or SYM scooter and your good to go. No matter what your scootering needs may be, Vespa Lexington has got your back (I mean BAG). Make sure and click the keep reading at the bottom of this post to see a Chrome bag in use.

Fill your new Chrome Bag up with a Mac Book, some magazines, sunglasses, a few beers (you can actually fill a Chrome Bag with ice and use it as a make shift cooler in a jam), an extra Vespa Lexington t shirt, some nice spring Corazzo gloves and what ever else you may need for the day.

Check out how a Chrome Bag fits nice and snug on your back while riding, so comfortable you can hardly tell you have a bag on your back.

This is how my beloved Filson bag hangs loosely off of my back and actually has to sit on the seat behind me. Not a good option for a ride on a scooter or bike.
