Commute Messenger Bag

This is a great bag. It looks like the picture. The color scheme is nice, the canvas seems good quality and has a lot of pockets. It has an inner plastic liner that could provide some protection against rain. In addition to the buckle closure it has a velcro closure that comes with a silencer (my other Timbuk2 bag does not have a velcro silencer.) It fits a 15.5 inch laptop easily in separate compartment that can open and lie flat for TSA inspection. It comes with a comfortable shoulder strap pad and an extra cross-strap to keep it on your back.

I switched from a backpack to this messenger bag and it has been terrific. I travel weekly and this fits a 15 laptop, all chargers and cables, a notebook and still has plenty of room left. Looks great, carries easy and love the side pockets that hold my glasses case and allows for easy access.

Well made, convenient features. Holds a lot.

My coworker told me about this bag and he was right. A great bag. For the 1st week was excited about all the pockets and storage areas I found on it

Bought this bag to replace a Eddie Bauer messenger that I used for 12 years. Could not be happier with the quality and construction of this bag.

The bag works great. Its just too light in terms of color. After about a month it looked terrible and could not wash it. THe color combo is just not it for bike commuting (my main mode of transport).

Mine is the large model. The TSA compartment is not big enough to accomodate my 17 laptop, a MSI GT780DXR. The bag is able to hold 2 laptops at the same time though, a 17 laptop in the main compartment with a 15 laptop in the TSA compartment. A 17 mac book would probably fit in the TSA compartment.

This is an ideal bag for those wanting a dedicated space for laptop and ipad, separate from other space.

I love this bag. Perfect for my daily commute on the train. The strap comfortably fits across my body (and Im a large man). The medium size is more than big enough for my laptop...which is a heavy gaming laptop with a very large screen. I was worried that I might need the large size, but the medium is plenty big. It has plenty of pockets to hold all of the essentials any commuter could need...and then some. I can even stop by the market on my way home from work, and fit most of the fixings for a simple dinner inside it next to all of my work-related junk. In addition to capacity, you can tell it is well made out of quality materials. I havent had it for long, but I can already tell its going to last for a long time. Definitely worth the investment.

Do not buy a new Timbuk2 bag. The cam buckle opens while youre biking or even walking. The bag will drop down and you will have to readjust it constantly. This is poor design.
