ASUS officially announced the availability of two new ROG branded backpacks. These products are the ROG Archer Messenger 14 and Archer Backpack 16.

Featuring a slingbag design, the Archer Messenger redesigns the form factor for the everyday gamer or road warrior. It has breathable straps designed to relieve pressure off the shoulders, along with a mesh back panel that minimises heat build-up at contact points, providing all-day comfort for the wearer.
The Archer Messenger 14 also makes use of premium Cordura 610D water-repellent fabric, protecting the bag against inclement weather as well as abrasions and scratches. Additionally, there are YKK zippers and a Woojin plastic buckle, ensuring an added level of durability and reliability. Of course, it also sports numerous design accents, including ROG-themed zippers and a dynamic linear aesthetic that further enhances the bag’s pronounced design identity.
