The proper way to wear a messenger bag

For students one of the most popular bags is the messenger bag, but if you aren't wearing this bag the right way it can be really bad for your back. According to Timbuk2 designs one of the leaders in messenger bag design the proper way to wear a messenger bag is diagonal across your chest. They say to wear it nice and snug around your body and high on your back.

I have found that the most natural way for me to wear my messenger bag low on my back but it tends to make my back feel strained. When I switched to wearing my bag the way that Timbuk2 recommends I found that my back tends to bother me less. It takes some getting used to wearing the bag tight across your back but your back will thank you!
