I have one.
What am i supposed to put my book in to read on the tube on the way to a gig or whatever?!
My flatmate wears a leather bumbag (it's a 'cool' bumbag - an oxymoron, sure...), so this makes me feel better about my manbag.0 -
I've got one but hardly ever use it.0

Were bumbags ever cool?
Years of wearing lycra, mean I'm not self conscious about these things, but people at work still faintly amused by them.0 -
I'm not sure, are you talking about out on the bike, or out around town.
Out on town - A wallet
On the Bike - Bumbag, marketed as a mp3 player bag, but make no mistake, its a bumbag.0 -

There's a really clever trick you can do with a shoulder bag: if you attach an extra strap to it, you can wear it across both shoulders, which has several advantages - for a start you can carry a heavier load more comfortably, and it's more stable so you can carry one safely while cycling, running or climbing.
I've got several like this at home which I use for purposes as varied as carrying work books & laptop, climbing, hillwalking, camping etc. I've even swum half a mile carrying one, try that with a manbag.
I'm thinking of patenting the idea, I'm sure it could catch on: I thought a nice simple descriptive name would do, like "back pack", but then I had a stroke of genius: what could be better than translating that into virile, mountain-climbing German?
I give you the Rucksack0 -
Can't get stuff out of your so-called 'Rucksack' without taking it off though...0

I've got a man sack which I constantly check.0

Shocking scenes... Manbags are part of the same blight that sees gilette telling em "refuel" (sounds more manly than moisturise) my skin after shaving and nivea marketing at us... Stop it now or hand in yr testicles at the door.
Acceptable methods for the modern gentleman to transport his neccesitys include a rucksack, a pocket, a briefcase, a wallet or a plastic bag if he is unemployed or conveying muddied football boots"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Ditch the "man"bag and stop being a girl. You got to ask the question "why are you carrying so much shite around" - makeup, tampax, diary......0

I carry all sorts of kids stuff such as wipes, sudocrem, a couple of kids toys, colouring books and things to amuse them, as well as my own stuff.
Just need to get some kids now.0 -

I use one, too.
I don't like lots of pockets.
I travel a lot, so usually have a lot of documents, etc.
When I'm out with my little son, it's full of his stuff.
It's a modern society, so MTFU....My b0llox are staying with me!

Of course bumbags were cool, Mr Motivator always wore one and you can't get cooler than that - it's like the Fonze on ice 0

Man bags are the way forward! I have two! :twisted:
The smallish Crumpler hasn't been used in ages. I always use a large Timbuk2. Cost a bomb though because it was one of the 'custom' ones. It's nice having the cam on the correct side of the bag for a change (I wear mine the left handed way, despite being right handed). I can fit all sorts in it too. Most days it'll have shoes, work clothes, a jumper/hoodie, saddlebag, pump, another tube, another multi tool, quite often some food, and then uni books, laptop and what have you. It's a claimed 35.2 litres! And it's so very water proof. Like, very waterproof. The insides are only going to get wet if it's actually submerged ... or not closed right.0 -
Sorry Lads, if I wanted to change gender and carry a hand bag then I would seek counselling first. :shock:
:roll:
They are not man bags but just plain ordinary handbags...if you want to walk like a woman then carry one :roll: just a fashion icon for the camp community.0 -
man bags?
there must be some mistake.....men don't carry bags. unless its a backpack,briefcase, or laptop bag.
taking a book to a gig? how do you get your mosh on with a book in a bag hanging over your shoulder????Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

I have one. I am so comfortable in my Heterosexuality, I have had a man bag for years. If you think its effeminate to have one, I may clump you with my bag. Also very handy for dancing round at discos as well. 0

That's freakin' awesome!
Probably more reliable than the discovery I normally drive too!0 -
I've got a leather one and a crumpler. The crumpler hasn't missed a beat other than the buckle for the third leg breaking when i trod on it. Carries my laptop better than a rucksack as i tend to snap laptops over my manly shoulders when i carry them in a rucksack.0

Round my way, all the 4x4s are for girls too.

The time to worry is when you start buying matching shoes :shock:0
