Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

I bought my first Timbuk2 bag about twenty years ago and only now has it gotten to the point where I needed another one. Let me tell you, I did not treat that bag kindly, it has carried a lot through rain, sleet and snow (and a few storms) and has always kept everything dry. It's easily the most comfortable bag to wear and, your mileage may vary, but I think they're stylish on top of being incredibly well made. I never shop around for different bags as they're near as perfect as can be. Lifelong fan.

This is the second custom bag that I ordered after receiving my first bag in a larger size. I am amazed with the quality and the customer service. I love the ease of carrying so much stuff without it feeling too heavy. And the bags are not bulky or awkward. I'm a customer for life.

AMAZING COLORS

I was thrilled to be able to create my own messenger bag.

The Large is pretty huge, can easily take me thru the work day or to the gym. I could use this as a weekend road trip bag as well. I went with all reflective material and I LOVE IT! Looks matte gray until the light hits it and then it lights up like a Christmas tree! Makes it much safer and perfect for riding my scooter as well.

I use my new messenger bag for work. I need to carry my laptop back and forth. I loved being able to design the bag myself! The inside is roomy and holds my laptop, notebook and small purse. I am very happy with my purchase.

This is the second Timbuk2 bag I've purchased in 21 years, replacing one that I bought in 2002 and have used nearly every day since. Whether bike commuting through cities, traveling through a warzone with media for a year, train-hopping through India, photographing nature in the snow, or napping on beaches...my Timbuk2 has been slung over my back. I couldn't imagine a professional or recreational life without it, so it was without hesitation that I ordered a new custom bag. I'm already feeling like it's a part of me.

This is my second custom messenger bag because I loved my first one so much! The first one is still strong but after using it almost every day for 7 years, I have made it my work beach bag because like me, it was showing its age. The quality of the Timbuk2 bags makes it easy for me to justify every dollar spent, I have gotten more than my money's worth based on how often I use it. This new bag has a few upgrades from my previous one, I got the larger size with the bottle holders on the inside. I wanted this to also function as my go-bag in case I needed to leave the country on short-term notice, I wanted room to have passports, medical kit and Krugerrands/currency along with any other documents I might need.

My long-used Booq messenger bag was finally falling apart, and I recently got a new Macbook Air M2, which is a bit smaller than my last computer, so I shopped for a messenger that would fit this computer, plus provide space for some books and the other things I carry when I work. I knew the Medium Timbuk2 is too big, so I took a gamble on the Small. I love it. I ordered the built-in laptop sleeve, and together (along with my sweet custom colors) it's just perfect. Looking forward to a long use life.

Bought it for my wife who uses it as a work bag. The medium bag expands to fit a pair of shoes, a sweater, her lunchbox and still has room left over for laptop and water bottle. We used it for a 3 day trip with our 2 year old and it fit plenty of clothes and supplies (supplemented by backpacks). The customized colors are awesome! Considering getting one for myself too!

I have used my bag as a daily carrier. It is lightweight and not so big as to be bulky.

I purchased this as a Valentine's Day gift for my oldest daughter. She cried when she opened the bag. Apparently, she has been wanting another Timbuk2 bag since she bought one a few years ago.

My daughter uses this bag to carry all her work things in. She loves it and keeps thanking me for getting it for her.

Love having a custom item, which is affordable, versatile and durable. Big fan of Timbuk2 messenger bags. Recommended!

This bag is amazing! It has pockets for everything and is the perfect size. I carry my laptop and other supplies in it everyday for work. It's easy to carry and comfortable. This bag is super sturdy and made from high quality materials. Perfect aesthetic and colors I like! I will always purchase bags from timbuk2- nothing ever fails and they last forever. Thank you guys. Absolute perfection.

it's perfect

This is my 2nd bag. I use it almost every day and due to wear and tear it was time to get a new one. I love it; it works well for everyday use to carry my laptop or ipad to all of my appointments. It also is really functional for when I ride my bike.

I've owned a few Timbuk2 bags over the years and they're always terrific. Since my last messenger bag, they've made some upgrades - more pockets, more organization, easier to use buckle. They took a great bag and made it even better and I'm very happy with it. Looks great, high quality materials and very functional. The only shortcomings are very small water bottle holders that are a struggle to use and the Timbuk2 logo was sewn on crooked, which is frustrating for a guy who hangs artwork with a laser level!

The bag is great, the size is great,

Dope Bag

Snazzy and as advertised! Fits everything perfectly, from laptop compartment and interior side pocket for water bottle etc. Good material.

I went to my local Timbuk2 store to check out all the colors and fabrics that the bag comes in. The employees there were super helpful, and even let me order my custom bag to the store so that I didn't have to worry about it getting stolen. The bag itself is super sturdy and fits great once you figure out your strap adjustment. I do find that the strap sometimes gives way on me and loosens when I don't want it to, but otherwise hold pretty well with the given clasp. (PS, if you have a 16" MacBook Pro, it'll fit great in the Medium size, no need to spring for the large!)

I love my bag holds everything, my computer, schoolbooks and my big wallet!

I have been cycling through briefcases as I travel every week and they just don't look good over time. I gave Timbuk2 a try and configured a custom bag. I am really impressed with the quality of the materials and workmanship. This bag is lighter than my last bag and way more versatile duets the soft sides. I carry a 13" laptop and tablet plus all accessories. So far, using this bag daily with travel and it still looks brand new. Strongly recommend the product.

Quality build. Really comfortable to carry. It's amazing to have a bag that no one else has that is this good.
