TWO STRAP BACKPACKS ARE BACK.
Maculine anons rejoice!
*masculine
Who the fuck cares about whether they have a messenger bag or a backpack
>>26299411
/fa/ggots, they deemed Messsager Bags to be out of style years ago and now Backpacks are back in style.
>>26299392
>messenger bags are not masculine
op is an insecure faggot
>>26299392
>messenger bag
>not masculine
Yes, because messengers are traditionally women, right?
You dumb fuck, he's going HIKING.
Messenger bags are for more short range/urban trips where you might have to remove or insert things more frequently.
Boy are you dumb.
>>26299411
messenger bags look terrible, feel terrible to wear, and don't look mature unlike the superior classic backpack
>>26299392
IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING

Insecure 'straight' 'men'.
Heaven forbid you have a manpurse, real men look like they're on the way to preschool!
>>26299489
you look so manly swinging your bag around your body looking like you have a baby breast feed holder or fanny pack or some shit. The uneveness on oneshoulder is also unearable and can mess you up physically

Hiking? I don't see any waist strap or sternum strap. Didn't you know? Four-strap is where it's at.
>>26299392
>he doesn't rock a messenger bag
Lel. Only hikers and middle schoolers actually use backpacks. Also, if they really wanted to be accurate to Hawaii, they'd had used the cloth drawstring bags that athletes use. They're everywhere here.
>It's an /fa/ thread
lel
>>26299540
>looking like you have a baby breast feed holder or fanny pack or some shit
Someone's been teased before.
>and can mess you up physically
If you do nothing with your body besides carry the bag, sure. But that's not the bag messing you up, that's you messing yourself up. Lift more.
Also,
>implying messenger bags can't be carried briefcase style
>>26299539
>Heaven forbid you have a manpurse, real men look like they're on the way to preschool!
This argument is shit, especially considering kids are going to school with manpurses now thanks to their single moms and numale fathers thinking it's fashionable.
>>26299619
>using the army to argue for fashion
Yeah that backpack will look great next to your camo cargopants
>>26299619
you're that one kid who dressed in full camo and took ROTC too seriously, aren't you?
>>26299656
>>26299668
No, but it completely defeats your argument that two-strap backpacks are for pre-schoolers. Manpurses are completely inefficient and only exist for metrosexual fashion purposes. You're the one defending looks over functionality, not me.
>>26299584
>Only hikers and middle schoolers actually use backpacks.
...You mean like the player characters in Pokemon who hike through various rough terrain including mountains?
>>26299692
you forgot to mention that none of the one strap fags have given a point to how two straps aren't manly as fuck when put aside a sissy purse bag
>>26299692
Because fashion is all about looks over functionality. There's technically nothing wrong with a fanny pack from a functional perspective but we all know you look like a neckbeard wearing one.
Same with backpacks, if you're not hiking you shouldn't be wearing one past your school years
>>26299761
>if you're not hiking you shouldn't be wearing one past your school years
But we are hiking.
>a backpack
>for adults
literally doesn't exist. unless you're in the military carrying 150lbs of bullshit around you _literally_ look like a manchild tied to his mom's apron strings.
>>26299761
>Same with backpacks, if you're not hiking you shouldn't be wearing one past your school years
That's sort of like saying every adult should own their own car.
Not everyone's needs, the places they go, or the shit they have to do, is going to be the same as yours, and isn't a standard for what's "acceptable".
>>26299772
You're also walking around cities and hanging out with your friends. The only time you're actually in the wilderness is when you're walking between cities.
>>26299411
I wore a messenger bag in my freshman year of high school, and all my friends called it a fag bag.
>>26299819
There are standards for what's acceptable in terms of fashion, that's why some people actually look good and some people look like an unwashed neckbeard in a baggy tie-dye shirt with cargo pants and a backpack.
I don't see why it matters, your character is like 14 anyway.
>>26299823
Which is why it's better to just carry the backpack around, since you're going to be traveling in the wild more often than sitting around the city anyway.
>on a Pokémon board that's explicitly intended for adults only
>critiquing the clothing of elementary school aged video game characters
>calling out ANYONE for being "childish".
>>26299867
It takes you like 10 minutes to cross a mountain, this isn't real life. In this case fashion is what you're aiming for since Pokemon is already unrealistic even ignoring the magic animals running around
>>26299557
You mean like the one in X and Y, or ORAS?
I got a free messenger bag from a computer class back in senior year
I'm using it still and it's been like 4 years

Faaaaaag
>>26300037
If you don't look like I assume you look like, yes.
What's advisable is based on your body and how you act. Cargo pants and New Balance shoes aren't a sin, but you can make them sinful with the right ensemble.
And no, dude in pic looks qtaf

God damn this is retarded. If you want something more mature you should look for a suitcase rather than a backpack.

>freshman year

>fag bag
Oh, where to begin. Where to begin...
Guys. Guys. I think we can all agree that pic related is the only true fag bag.
>>26299826
That's funny, because I had one--and still have it--and it's working out just fine for me.
If anything, it gets me a few compliments due to it's NES aesthetic.
>>26300123
I will never not be sick of "arguments" like this.
The "it's how it's always been" excuse is just that: it's an excuse.
I reason so you don't actually have to be a decent human being.
It's shit posts like that why people hate this board.
>>26300133
>him and his friends never called eachother derogatory terms as a joke
You must've never had actual friends
>>26299411
I can speak from experience that messenger bags are awkward to run with regardless of how empty or full they are.
I honestly wonder if any of Game Freak's artists ever used one with the way they keep giving them to the protagonists.
>>26300130
Those pants probably cost more than your entire getup.
>>26300209
This shit I'm eating costs more than your lack of shit. Fucking poorfags.
>>26300185
>be in highschool
>one guy starts wearing fanny pack ironically

Again, it's all in presentation. If you're some sweaty neckbeard in baggy clothing, you'll look handicapped or senile.
>>26300209
>spending copious amounts of money on clothes

You must've been that one guy who only invited over as a joke. Just keep telling yourself they're laughing with you.
>>26300236
>Not wanting to look fashionable
What the fuck are you even doing in this thread you neckbeard?
>>26300170
What's the problem? I guess it's that 14 year olds being dicks to a peer having no relation to a conversation by adults about the bag a fictional character in a children's video game?
>>26300199
>I can speak from experience that messenger bags are awkward to run with regardless of how empty or full they are.
Of course they are if you run like a retard.
>>26300244
Not everyone has to hide their power level.
But if you want to avoid talking to casuals, go right ahead, go stand silently in public and try not to make any eye contact. Maybe then they won't notice you and go home to laugh about what you wore.
Someone needs to hurry up and invent a bag that doesn't look like garbage and actually does the job. Backpacks make you look like a manchild, drawstring bags not only look like shit but they can't hold shit, and messenger bags can be hit or miss. They can be unnecessarily bulky or too small and can't hold anything. Those bags ladies have can hardly hold anything either, unless you get one of those big beach bags but then you're gonna look like a tit.
>>26300259
So then you should know what I'm talking about.
>>26300000
WOWZERS BAYBEE
I think the full backpacks are cuter.
>>26300161

>>26300253
Nice tangent.
No, my point was that your entire anecdote was cringeworthy and sharing your lelsofunyn highschool stories adds nothing to the conversation.

Messenger bags are superior to backpacks in more ways than one anon.
It's time you should learn that.
Most people grow out of backpacks by early high school.

Do you know what that zero-sum thinking is caused by? Autism.
You fail to recognize plenty of people can simultaneously like something that's 'trendy' without it being due to trends. Or you realize it, but you're too stupid and shortsighted to see how it applies to anything but yourself.

I own one of each. I have a messenger bag for my laptop and I have a backpack to carry things in when I go to the gym.
That doesn't change my opinion that it's uncomfortable.
You guys sound like Team Flare members, or some flamboyant fops blogging about how they saw someone wearing white after Labor Day.
>>26300489
>backpacks are considered masculine now?
Not really, they're still pretty childish to most people.
Nearly everyone at my college wore a backpack. Walking around campus with books and shit in tow would've been a nightmare without a backpack.
>>26300277
I just recently got a new messenger bag, and it's fucking based. Specifically designed to hold a lot, without being a bulky mess.
>inb4 lelsohip dnd refernce

It's a fucking great bag.
>>26300554
Delete this right fucking now. Backpacks are the neckbeard fashion, not manpurses.

You are aware that the item within the bag can affect that right?

What about a 2 strap backpack but you only wear one? Wearing both feels odd compared to letting it lean while wearing one.

I deal with 5th Avenue faggots and their ilk more in my line of work than anyone should have to, >>26300480 is more than accurate.
Have fun being faaaaabulous, leave the useful shit to people who actually work for a living.
>>26300617
That would be backpacks.
I bet you wear a flame shirt too.
>>26300579
I've had at least three of these things during my years in school, with varying items. I just don't find them comfortable.
I don't like how it puts strain on just one shoulder
I don't like how it doesn't sit right whether it's next to your hip or on your ass
I don't like how the little pad that's supposed to keep on your shoulder never sits still
That being said if I ever had to go back to college I'd probably rather use a messenger bag.
>>26300651
>who actually work for a living.
Hahahahahahahaha, that's why they come into your store, right? Because of the lack of work?

Not from NY, assumed based on context that you were talking about a clothing store, in which case, yeah, that'd be the assumption to make.
I hope there's customization, because I'm going to rock a fanny pack, shorts, and flame shirt. Bonus points if there's socks + sandals.
I refuse to wear a fedora though. Hatless is best protagonist.
>>26300812please tell me how that image works; it's hurting my brain
>>26300841
In any case, a store on 5th Avenue would actually be a very high class place to work or shop, it wouldn't be like being a cashier at fucking Waldbaumbs or something.
>>26300895
Which was my exactly point. I gleamed that much from the post.
But the post was about people going into said shops who don't 'work for a living'. This is wholly antithetical to what they're trying to convey.
Either you're too sour to admit somebody gets the leisure to shop while you're working, or you don't work at such a high-end shop, because your clientele don't themselves work.
>>26300876
To create such an image is a power only one has achieved... but if we work together I know we can discover the secret.
>>26300941
>But the post was about people going into said shops
>>26300651 never said anything about a shop, he talked about "his line of work".
He could be anything from a private banker, to a lawyer, to a courier, to a chauffeu, or even a tailor.
>>26300948
But I just killed Samuel L. Jackson for you!
I find a messenger bag to be much more useful. First of all it doesn't leave my back soaking wet on summer days, I sweat a lot, and a messenger bag leaves me looking a lot more presentable when I arrive at work. Also, most of what I carry in it is paper, with a backpack I would have to remove it from my back and search through a disorganized pile to find shit, then put it back. With my bag I can just open it up and look through neat, uncrushed and unfolded over paper.
>why not just carry a briefcase?
So both my hands can be free at any given time.
>>26300980
God fucking dammit I made the same mistake twice? Yeah fuck me.
Still though, it was because the image in question involved fashion, and I don't know what sort of jobless vagrants get to dress fabulously.

I agree with you on all points, however my shoulders were fucked up after shitty physical labors jobs years ago. Two strap backpacks help to evenly distribute the weight so one shoulder in particular doesn't get super fucked up.
>>26300199
It's the bag of choice for Japs, who always try to be as fashionable as Westerners. Fucking tryhards, the lot of em.
>>26300185
A fannypack is honestly the best bag a trainer could use. A few pokeballs, poitions, and a pokedex.
>>26300554
Iv'e actually had two of these. Pretty good bags, tough as hell. Only problem i had was the strap broke on BOTH of them, same spot. Replaced it on the second one with a cheap one off a laptop bag, held up better.
Can't I just go bagless and cram everything into my pockets? It's unrealistic, but all the male bags in XY clashed with the outfits so no matter what you looked terrible.

>>26300277

I had no idea people were this passionate about bags...
I prefer backpacks. They are less damaging to your back, it's better for you to balance the weight on two shoulders and not one.
And I'm not fond of how the messenger bags tend to flop about if you have to run.
Canvas bags make it easier to quickly access what you need though. You can just open it and grab your stuff instead of having to take off the backpack and rummage through it. They also tend to be more organised.
But still, ergonomics over aesthetics for me personally.
