| Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag by Timbuk2 Great Price, Excellent Product! | | It's so much cheaper than what i can find in Singapore! in excellent condition when it arrived! | | Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag by Timbuk2 Timbuk2 Messenger Bags are Awesome | | Yeah, so I've had my bag for almost 2 years, and its still rockin'. I have the Large size, and I use it to commute to work every morning carrying my work materials, clothes, shoes, coffee, and food. I regularly use it to get groceries as well. It could hold a small army if necessary, I think. The only reason you can tell its well-used is because its got some road grime on it from the daily bike rides. I can't get this road grime off of the bag by regular laundry, and no local cleaners will clean it, so if you're getting a bag, keep it clean (put Scotchguard on it regularly) so that you don't have a dirty bag, too. Or get colors that don't show dirt. Otherwise, the workmanship has definitely held up to a lot of wear and tear and it has been a worthy investment. | | Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag by Timbuk2 Great Backpack Replacement | Sturdy. Extra-solid construction and stiching. Wide strap (but get a strap pad if you're going to carry very heavy things). Designed to be carried across the body, not just over one shoulder. Velcro and 2 big buckles for adjustable flap closure. The fabric has a slightly "tech" sheen to it. The colors are amazing, probably more vivid than you see here on the screen. The lining is heavy vinyl. A few well considered organization pockets for your phone/ipod/wallet/etc. And a GIANT center pocket to carry anything. I regularly carry everything I used to carry in my backpack: laptop (in my padded case), planner, jacket, umbrella, newspaper, water, cell, and there's still room left over for my lunch. And that's in the so-called "medium" size.
This makes an excellent carry-on bag for flights. Buy it for your college student. Or your spouse for commuting to work. Or for yourself to carry your gym clothes. Just consider what size you would need first.
For full disclosure, here's the problems I see with this bag. They don't bother me, but maybe they'll bother you. It can be ungainly when not full because the items in the main pocket will shift around. There isn't any padding between the contents and your back. The strap would be more easily adjustable with a set of D-rings instead of the plastic buckle they've used. Velcro is loud and will wear out eventually. The strap might have been a bit more ergonomic if it had been angled a bit. If you are an organization junkie, you may be overwhelmed with the amount of empty space in the main pocket. It could use a little handle, so you could carry it like a brief case when needed. And finally, I'm 5'6". When full of very heavy things (more than, say, 40 pounds) I have problems balancing the bag if I don't shorten the strap so the bag sits more in the middle of my back, and also making sure I use the second stabilizer strap.
Buy this bag. It will last forever. Mine still looks brand new after more than a year. No seams are coming out, no wear on the fabric, no tears in the vinyl lining. I love it. | | Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag by Timbuk2 Product Description | Some say the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger is the bag that started it all; this rig, originally built as a rugged necessity for urban bicycle warriors, quickly became the hippest under-the-radar carry-all for everyone from metro commuters to tree-hugging granola munchers. The highest quality materials and construction make the Timbuk2 Classic an extremely durable, long-lasting bag; these things will become hand-me downs for generations to come. Want to know the best part? Thanks to the waterproof vinyl inner lining, the Classic Messenger doubles as a killer beer cooler. Just throw in some ice and some malty ones and be set for a mellow day of Frisbee golf in the park. *Does not have a laptop pocket but fits laptops to the dimensions specified in the Standard Features.
