Commute Messenger Bag

This bag has been on 4 trips with me now. I thought Id only use it for business travel, but Im using it all the time. Its very easy to keep organized, I LOVE the TSA pocket! Everything is secure and in its own place. I am a huge fan of everything Ive owned from Timbuk2, but this is my favorite bag so far.

It’s light stores a lot and looks good. Will definitely look for the same brand next time i need a new bag.

Fits my Lenovo 17 in TP. Lots of room for jacket and other stuff.

Nice and well constructed bag. I think it will hold and last for a long time.

now had for 4 years at work for travel. still is in great shape and nothing has broken. excellent product.

Very nice. Worth the money

This is my third messenger bag in the past 5 years, and probably the best. It replaces an old design from REI that is no longer being sold. The Timbuk2 bag somehow manages to hold as much stuff as the REI bag did while taking up considerably less space. There are plenty of interior pockets to help with organization. Im not sure how water resistant it is since I havent had it outside in the rain or drizzle. The REI bag was excellent in that regard; it had an interior zipper that allowed you to completely seal off the contents of the bag from the elements. The Timbuk2 bag lacks such an interior zipper, but the outer flap may provide similar protection. I do wish that the side pockets on the outside of the bag were a little deeper, to ensure that water bottles and travel mugs stayed in place.

I use this for work everyday! I can pack my lunch, water bottle, and jacket inside. I also really like the laptop sleeve/ compartment in the back. No complaints!

I love this bag. I have a Snoop insert for it for hauling a camera around, and also use it as a daily going to work bag. Its a great size to hold a camera, a book, lunch, and all the other nonsense that lives in my daily bag. It also holds my iPad securely. My 15 Macbook struggles to fit in the back pouch with a sleeve on, but fits fine without the sleeve. I usually keep it sleeved and just put it inside the bag. The soft fleece lined pouches are great for iPhone / iPod. The interior pockets and pouches keep the bag well organized. I use this bag everyday and I love it! Its just strong and durable. I even spilled coffee on it once, and it just balled up and rolled off. Great bag by a great company!

I liked the bag. There was one drawback, though, that was huge for me so I returned. Whenever I walk, the reflective tapes at the ends of the straps constantly hit the bag making annoying noises. This is embarrassing especially walking in quiet places like a library. I would like to know how this can be prevented. Except for that, I really like the bag. But I could not stand the noise.
