The most recent generation of the discreet messenger features a waxed canvas exterior with contrasting pack cloth and loop interior. Even if you are new to ITS messengers don’t fret you have picked the perfect time to hop on the wagon.

Overall refinement when compared to previous version of the bag.

The bag also works great combined with ITS Zip Bags (sold separately), allowing you to create a modular carry setup that can be easily tweaked for different carry missions. Additionally, the bag comes with a removable waist strap that provides messenger-style functionality (so contrary to Arndell’s opinion, it does carry like a messenger). The front flap can be stored inside a concealed pocket on the front of the bag and doesn’t have to be rolled up to expose the loop field. *Carry HQ update: To help you decide if this bag is right for you, we thought it would be useful to include a few extra details in addition to the review above. Delve into the basic details with Arndell LeBlanc to find out if it’s a good fit for your needs…

The ITS Discreet Messenger aims to find a middle ground with its practical and low-key design that lends itself to covert missions and EDC alike. Many tactical bags offer great functionality, but their overt tactical aesthetics can be a drawback if you’re looking for carry that blends in.
