4th prize: Crumpler Kill the Messenger – Pro Messenger Bag worth € 240

crumplerFor the Kill the Messenger, aka KTM, the Crumpler designers teamed up with a veteran Berlin bike messenger. After multiple prototypes and test runs, the KTM is a messenger bag that has a place in Crumpler’s hall of fame and is rumoured to be the holy grail of messenger bags. It goes without saying that this is a water resistant and hard wearing bag. Its large removable reflective strip adds safety and can be replaced with branding. The magnetic buckles allow quick and easy access to shave vital seconds off your time. We also included an A3 document folder and toolkit bag so that you don’t have to hunt for your own. Want something to sit on when you make a stop in the park? Then the removable backing is what you need. It also features pockets galore inside, outside and on the shoulder strap – padded and unpadded – for drinks iPad, stationery, cards, change, keys, and more. We even added a loop for bike lights. Your imagination is the limit with the KTM – there is even a secret pocket that your humble writer cannot find.
