For the days when pockets just aren't enough, and a backpack just seems unwieldy, the NutSac Sac Daddy messenger bag may be the best option. Straddling a line between man purse and [tactical sling bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fast-pack-litespeed-black-magic-edition), the Sac Daddy messenger bag is a moderately sized satchel, complete with rugged materials and made-in-the-USA construction. The exterior of the bag features Martexin waxed cotton and [top-grain leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-bags), evoking a timeless vintage aesthetic. The waxed cotton lends a great deal of weather resistance to the bag and also gives the bag a remarkable structure and that allows it to stand up on its own.

The Sac Daddy messenger bag features a nine-liter capacity and provides enough space to fit a full-sized laptop and more. The main compartment of the bag can easily fit a standard hardcover book, as well as a [camera with its lens detached](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wotancraft-rider-v2). Smaller pockets line the interior and YKK-zippered organizational spaces can be found both inside and outside of the bag.
