MESSENGER

DESIGNED TO BE
YOUR FAVORITE BAG
MESSENGER
IMAGINE. EXPLORE. DISCOVERY.
MESSENGER
The Messenger collection is all about speed, stealth and versatility. Get at your
camera and laptop gear quickly, with bags and accessories that have nearly
infinite uses, and do it all without anyone knowing that you have expensive
equipment with you.
When building a bag to be used every day, there is no choice but to use the
best materials and hardware. All Messenger bags are made with water-repellant,
military-grade 1000 denier nylon, YKK® zippers, Duraflex® clips, steel D-rings
and a waterproof bottom panel. That's what it takes to keep a bag looking
good while carrying everything you need to a photo shoot or an office; close to
home or on vacation.

Bottom Panel
All Messenger bags have
a padded, ventilated and
moisture wicking back panel
that provides cushioning and
comfort at the contact points.
This is especially important
when you are carrying the bag
for long stretches on hot days.
Nylon is more rugged,
water- and tear-resistant than
polyester, that’s why it’s used
in all of the best adventure
travel gear. A nylon exterior
ensures that Messenger bags
are built for serious everyday
use, yet they remain extremely
lightweight. And Tenba’s
military-grade nylon has a
polyurethane coating to make it
extremely water-repellant.
We use YKK® zippers, Duraflex®
clips and steel D-rings because
that’s what you need in a bag
that you use every day.
You never know when you might
have to put your bag down on a
wet surface. And you might not
even know what put the “wet”
in “wet surface” (I’m looking
at you, New York City subway
platform). Messenger bags
feature a special abrasion and
moisture resistant panel on the
bottom to keep the bag dry and
protected no matter what’s on
the ground.
*Features vary by model.

MESSENGER
THE WORLD’S TOP NEWS PHOTOGRAPHERS are
harder on their bags than anyone – by far. They
demand bags that are battle-tough, yet light, spaceefficient, fast-moving, body-hugging, and discreet in
appearance. A challenging combination of needs,
but the Tenba Messenger Camera Bag nails them
all. It’s designed from the first stitch to the last as a
photojournalist’s workhorse, so if you want a nononsense bag that’s rugged, easy to carry and built
for speed, this one’s a thoroughbred.
