Lifetime Guarantee, 60-Day Returns, and Fast Shipping

The Messenger Stabilizer is designed to keep your crossbody close and prevent it from swinging to and fro while you're riding your bike, motorcycle, or just moving fast! Works best with the Small Café Bag, Medium Café Bag, Maker’s Bag, or any bag with a hip belt attachment point. Uses one-half of our Gatekeeper Hip Belt (the half with the male buckle); if you don't have a waist strap already, you can order one here.

    Bike strap

    Should be sold as a pair with the waist strap

    I'm sorry this is retired!

    Oh no! I came on to leave a review or two, and found this beloved and extremely useful accessory has been retired! I don't know what I'd do without this simple strap; I carry my Medium Cafe Bag everywhere, every day, and this cross-strap stabilizes it on long bike rides and long walks. Thank you so much for carrying it, and may it return.

    Slides around

    I tried using it with a SCB, and noticed it only works well if your bag strap is also tight, which can be annoying if you like to wear your bag in a loose fashion.

    Amazing idea

    Simple and works as expected. There isn't much else to say.

    Pro tip: for stowage move stabilizer to the same side of the bag as the main strap so that the strap won't flap around during periods of use w/o the stabilizer. Works especially well with a strap keeper.

    Works, but a bit finicky

    Works well as a stabilizer, but it likes to slide around unless you tighten it which can make it dig into your side a bit due to the angle. Not much of a big deal if you're wearing a jacket, but can get uncomfortable in a t-shirt.
