Since the beginning, Chrome has been building gear for the most demanding urban cyclist in the world- the messenger. Their Pro Series gear shows their dedication and commitment not only to them, but to Chrome’s heritage through functional, durable bags made to withstand daily use in the toughest urban environments.
In conjunction with Chrome Familia member, Kevin “Squid” Bolger, and Chicago messenger, Nico Deportago-Cabrera, they created a unique, uncompromising collection to include accessories as well.
Pro Barrage
The Chrome Pro Barrage is for the messengers that want the functionality of a roll-top closure rather than a traditional messenger pack, while the new Pro Chest Harness, Pro Utility Belt and Pro Accessory Pouch keep tools organized and within reach. Chrome built everything with purpose and a specific function in mind. Made in USA. Guaranteed for life.
- Split shoulder strap design with EVA foam back panel for improved fit and breathability
- Sternum strap for load distribution
- Industrial metal cam lock under arm compression buckles
- Removable PE stabilizer tray helps stabilize food delivery inside the pack
- Reflective Chrome screen print on bottom keeps riders visible while hustling at night
- Industrial-strength Velcro accessory shoulder mounting straps to customize the ideal build-out
- Weatherproof 1000 denier CORDURA® brand outer shell
- Welded Waterproof 18 oz. truck tarpaulin liner
- Nylon 69 thread and YKK zippers
- Made in Chico, CA
Pro Chest Harness
Inspired by the chest harnesses firemen and EMT wear, the Pro Chest Harness organizes communication tools within reach for quick access. Designed with Familia member Kevin “Squid” Bolger, we built a series of 5-bar webbing straps for a customizable layout to accomodate personal preference. Made in USA. Guaranteed for life.
Multiple webbing loops for attaching additional accessories like radios, phone pouches, or mobile speakers.
• Weatherproof 1000 denier CORDURA® brand fabric against body
• Military-grade 18 oz. truck tarpaulin face
Durable 5-bar seatbelt webbing with metal hardware and logo
• Nylon 69 thread and YKK zippers

Pro Accessory Pouch
Chrome built the Pro Accessory Pouch ($35) to keep new and old communication tools within reach. Sized to fit a a variety of 2-way radios or large tablet phone, the Pro Accessory Pouch mounts to the new Pro Barrage, Warsaw II and Berlin Messenger bags as well as any Chrome’s other bags with velcro accessory straps. It also works with the new Pro Chest Harness and features a front card slot, pen pocket, and headphone grommet on the bottom.
