When Mission Workshop Tweeted last night that they had just re-upped their website with a redesign, I noticed a new tab at the top. The Advanced Projects are a new line of bags that, as the name implies, are higher-end.

Here’s a break down on their latest, the VX Messenger Bags:

“The AP Series messenger bags feature the Arkiv® closure system and are made with a 1000d VX Cordura outer layer laminated to a PTFE membrane, resulting in an exceptionally durable and waterproof barrier to the elements. They feature a weatherproof roll top main compartment which can be used in either the “roll top” mode, or in the traditional “flap down” configuration.”

“The AP Series messenger bags also feature quick-access outboard pockets, internal zippered pockets, custom aluminum strap hardware, and detachable cross-chest stabilizer. Large zippered pocket fits laptop computers such as the 15in MacBook Pro (medium size only), 13in MacBook Air, or iPad.

Made in the USA with a lifetime warranty.”

You know what’s good. Made in the USA and worth every penny.
