Timbuk2

Love the bag, though it is a bit heavy for a messenger bag. You can't beat the quality and can tell from day one that it is amazingly durable. I'm not a huge fan of the clasps. They really aren't needed as the velcro is super strong. The TSA approved compartment for a laptop zips out so it lays flat...takes some getting used to when in line at security, but makes the process easier to speed up. Nice feature. All in all, it was a good purchase.

Love this bag. Have had it for about a month now and have been very happy with it. The TSA compliance feature is great and makes getting through airport security easier; the bag has plenty of pockets; best of all, it's very durable but still lightweight. It also has a lot of little touches that make usage easier and make me thing that someone really put some thought into the bag's construction. For instance, the adjustment on the shoulder strap is by far the easiest I have ever encountered, and the Velcro closures on the flap are ample enough to catch without requiring that I use the clasps, but not so big as to make opening the flap difficult. Time will tell whether I continue to like this bag, but so far I am very happy.

Looks like it will be a big bag but my son couldn't fit any of his books in it...way disappointed for the money!

I love this backpack! It holds my huge work laptop and all the papers that I tote, plus it has handy compartments for my keys, security card(s), wallet and water bottle. In a pinch, it also works as a diaper bag/backpack for hands-free management of babies and toddlers. The fabric seems sturdy and tough, and the bag itself appears well-made. It is also comfortable to wear, and I like that it has a low profile so that I can get through narrow spaces when I need to fit through sideways.This is my first Timbuk2 purchase, and it probably won't be my last.

Bag is great. Small, compact and light when collapsed, then quite roomy when expanded. Clips are very stiff and it can be hard to open!

Although I have only owned this bag for a couple of weeks, I am very pleased by the size, (ample), the quality of materials used, and it seems to be well designed... I am also pleased that at the time of purchase this specific color bag was less than any other color! Love the color, will be difficult to look dirty, and oh yes it is getting that much use! My hat is off to Timbuk2 Co. on their messenger bags, to me this bodes well for their entire product line! Definite recommendation! (The large size messenger bag must be ginormous!)

Dandy laptop sleeve. Good quality, reasonable price. Looks nice & pretty 'green' too. Good & prompt service too. Thank you Timbuk2 & Zappos!

Timbuk2 stopped making the detachable shoulder strap for the cargo tote. The video Zappos has still shows the shoulder strap, even though this bag does not have it. I had to return it.

Love this bag. The best one I have ever purchased.

This is an amazing little bag for those who are willing to pare down what they carry. I use mine when I only need my super-thin card carrier/wallet, cell phone, sunglasses (clip-ons in a flat case), lip balm and a small compact. It's well made and it's so thin you can wear it crossbody under a jacket. My only complaint is that the strap is a bit short on me for crossbody, but I wear it that way anyway. I'm 5'8 and could use another few strap inches, thus only four starts on comfort. Love it anyway.

This is the perfect pack and go travel bag. It packs into a small wallet size and then expands to be usable as a weekend bag. Zipper closures are strong and reliable. Shoulder strap is comfortable.

This bag looks nice, handles well, but unfortunately like the Timbuk2 messenger bags, does not hold up to even minor wear and tear. I've had my bag for under a year, travel every week for work (but only use overhead, never check my bag), and the threading around the corners is already coming undone. That's just not acceptable. If you travel frequently for work, I wouldn't get this bag. If you're just looking for a stylish alternative, then go ahead and buy it.

A relatively stylish bag, but my main issue is with the velcro closure. There is no subtle way to open this bag. Rip! I feel like Steve Carell's character in Crazy, Stupid, Love If it wear a snap closure, I'd give this 5 stars.

This is a great multifunctional lap case that meets TSA requirements to keep your laptop exposed, but inside a sleeve to be seen. Use mine everyday.

Practical, not very stylish, too many pockets for me to remember where everything is. Easy to access belongings in large pocket. Hard to access things in exterior pocket with items in interior pocket. Short straps, wish they were adjustable.

Since I don't usually like carrying a purse this is a good alternative to a keep cell phone, small wallet and glasses with me. Bought for a trip to be hands free while on the beach. Lightweight and good looking.

This is a great bag. It's as if it was designed by someone who used it regularly. It's got a lot of great places to put your stuff. The laptop/tablet spot is placed such that you can hang the bag off your left shoulder and open the bag to get the computer. Nice! The bottom compartment holds random stuff. I only put stuff in there that is not fragile since it will get pounded if you put the bag down hard. The outside pocket is good for sunglasses and such. Zip open the flap and find places to put your pens, pencils, and other similar items. Cellphone, business cards all can go there. The main compartment is kind of small, but it's big enough to hold a jacket and a couple of books. Or, lunch. I put a textbook, a small folder, and a jacket in there... and it's full. The straps are comfortable. There's a cool little secret pocket on the back to put your microfilm in or whatever stash you want to be kept secret. You know how security at places is totally overzealous these days? I have a tiny, seriously small Swiss Army knife. Honestly, it's a scissors, a pen blade, and a file/screwdriver. Three blades in total. There's the tweezers and the toothpick. Very dangerous, right? I mean, if I wanted to attack someone, I would present a greater danger if I had a ballpoint pen in my hand. I could give you a nasty manicure with it. But, security doesn't want blades of any size. So, I slipped past their checkpoint without them seeing that pocket. This bag has so many compartments that they feel like they checked everywhere. I do not recommend trying this at the airport. It will not get you past X-rays machines, so don't even try. You will end up getting a full cavity search, knowing the way those things go. There are loops along the side so you can carry it like a case, if you are so inclined. And, a loop on the top for similar purpose. The only thing I think it's missing is a key clip like my other Timbuk2 bag had. But, I forgive them because so much else is awesome about this bag. It's a great bag, very well made. This is my second Timbuk2 bag and I'm sure I will buy a third when the time comes. I make no bones about it; this is my man purse. I'm a geek and I like to carry stuff with me. This bag does it like a boss.

The bag should be called the BBSSB Duffel (Best Bag Since Sliced Bread). I purchased it to match with the Timbuk2 Copilot that I have in the same color for larger bulkier items such as snorkeling or skiing equipment. It is stylish, plenty big, has three mesh pockets on on either end and the lip which is handy. The bag also has side belts to cinch the bag down closer to your packed items to give you a tighter fit. Another redeeming feature is the bag folds into itself and you can throw it in your Copilot or other luggage that Zappos sells to bring back extra souvenirs (junk you don't need) or for storage. It is well made. I highly recommend this bag.

This bag is okay, but it is much bigger than I thought from the description. And the handles are just a bit too short... I like to toss it over my shoulder, but it doesn't go quite high enough on my arm. The quality of the bag is good though.

It's big, no seriously this thing is huge. I kept on reading the reviews saying how this thing is massive, I ordered it anyways. It is like a tiny man purse. Or a mini trapper keeper. Or George Costanzas organizer wallet updated for modern times. I hold all of my stuff in here. I don't know how many cards and courtesy cards. A ton of bills plus a spare key. This will not fit in your skinny jeans. Fortunately I don't wear them at 6'3 at 270 pounds. This fits in my hip pocket but it is difficult to get out in a hurry. I wish the Velcro was a bit quieter. But overall I am satisfied with my purchase. I thought of returning it when I got it because of the size but I am going to keep it. Advantages over a regular wallet is if someone tries to steal it from you you are going to know because you will feel it.
