Baggallini Messenger Bags vs. Healthy Back Bag

[RweTHEREyet]

I have seen some posts about the Baggallini Messenger Bag and how wonderful it is. Can anyone compare it to the Healthy Back Bag as far as how comfortable it is to carry?

I have two of the healthy Back bags, but I like the mesh water pocket on the Baggallini.

Also wondering what colors everybody is getting? Wondering if the colors shown on the internet are true to what they really are.

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to this question, but I just wanted to bump this to the top for you. Anyone know?

I am also interested in the answer to this question. I worry a healthy back bag would just make me keep having to hunch up my shoulder to keep it on but I've never used one so not sure.

I'm going to join in on wanting an answer to this question. I also like the healthy bag but I would like the mesh spot for the water bottle as well.

I have a healthy back bag and a baggalini messenger bag too. Actually sold the messenger bag awhile back because I didn't care for the way it "sat" (for lack of a better word) across my chest and it hung strange I think. If you are mid-large busted I wouldn't recommend the Baggalini. Just my .02!

I like the HBB but, if you overpack your bag, you'll end up with a sore shoulder. I think I overpacked mine as I had the following inside:
digital camera, cell phone, inhaler, small wallet, tissues, sunglasses, water bottle.

It was just too heavy for me and we ended up just using our regular backpack during the trip and regretting that too!

Wish there was a perfect solution!

I have the Baggallini bag and I would say that you can always buy from ebags and see if you like it, try it on , if you don't you email them and they will emaill you a return label for UPS that they pay for. You will be out shipping one way. I ordered the stone and periwinkle. The periwinkle is very bright.......but pretty but I sent it back Hope this helps And I am busty and had no problem with this bag....

Thanks for the info! Looking at the bags do you think the baggallini is too girly for a guy to carry once in awhile?

I think that the neutral colors could be used by a man.....at least at WDW....but you are asking someone who's DH won't carry a back pack. Hope this helps....Good luck

Just a few other I saw for those looking for more room

 

[nikandboys]

it was stated that the baggalini sat OK for a "bust" person. What about "plus sizes"?

 

[kimjordan]

Bumping - I'd love to see some replys to the "plus size" question. I have a Healthy Back bag, but cannot wear it slung across my chest because the strap is too short, just wondering about the Baggallini. Thanks!

I am a XL - 1X about 40 - 42 bust I can wear the baggallini across my chest because of the long strap and there is plenty of room for me....Hope this helps
