Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

Received my messenger back on time. It's my second Timbuk2 bag but this one I ordered custom. I love it! It's perfect and has everything I need and nothing I don't. Looking forward to breaking it in....thank you Timbuk2!

This bag was just what I was looking for. I had a similar bag that lasted me 6+ years but I needed a change. I love that this bag has less velcro and buckles instead (previous bag had a whole strip of velcro to close and it was getting really worn). It's the perfect size for my daily work/leisure use (I don't like purses).

This is my third custom Timbuk2 bag. I love them. Well made, durable and stylish.

The size is exactly what i wanted

In my job in NYC I'm constantly commuting and this bag is great for commuting. It's my 3rd one my 1st I had for like 10 years and it was destroyed in a basement flood. My 2nd was a medium. Which I love but the large allows me to pack my gym clothes, 15" MacBook Pro, ebook, headphones, 2 water bottles and a lunch without overload. Like I said I live out of this bag.

The delivery was also great.

I travel from facility to facility and needed some to carry my things. It holds everything and the pockets help keep it organized.

Small classic messenger exceeded my expectations. Perfect size for a daily tote. So many refinements from previous generations. Best thing: rides comfortably on my hip. Needs improvement: slightly larger water bottle holder.

I use the bag not only for work with a laptop and iPad, but also to deliver newspapers. It is very convenient to open and close on multiple drops. I also did the route in the rain today and the papers were kept dry. I like the way it fits snug to the body, but also moves freely from front to back when I need to access its contents.

I was a bit nervous I admit, ordering it sight unseen, but I couldn't be more pleased. It is sturdy and well designed, with several features I neither knew I was getting nor that I needed. I look forward to purchasing another, slightly larger one soon for traveling.

Only drawback is I should've ordered the larger size. The customization is awesome on these bags.

One of my colleagues has a Timbuk2 bag that I've admired, so when I needed a new bag I checked them out. When the bag arrived I was impressed by the quality of construction and the thoughtfulness of the design.

Was looking for something the right size for either a 12.9" iPad or a 14" laptop and this bag does either well.

To care iPad keys wallet or anything else I need.

So much bag for the money. After loading it up with the contents usually forced into two bags and adjusting the straps, I walked to work with it (20-25m on city streets) and immediately sensed the ways in which this bag is superior to most bags I have owned and used over the last several years. love all the pockets, the straps, etc. I keep noticing cool details as I get to know it and enjoy how thoughtfully made this is. I think this bag and I are going to get along fine. My minor nitpick was no shoulder strap pad, but I think they were clear about it and I procured one elsewhere. I wish they made one in this color because I am almost certain I would purchase the timbuk2 product over anything else available if I could. Almost too much bag for everyday use, but in NYC you never know when you'll need a little extra oomph out of your bag (carrying that curb-scored piece you serendipitous-ly came across on your evening walk, for instance) and when not full it has a slim, unobtrusive profile and I am a big guy so it suits me in that regard as well.

I love that I can customize the bag so it's what I need as opposed to a best effort disappointment. I have 3 because my needs have changed over the years and I like switching things up. All 3 are in perfect condition and 2 of them have traveled the country with me for business.

I had a Timbuk2 bag before it was destroyed in range by someone and I loved that custom bag. I was without one for several years. I purchased the classic messenger. I love the bag and the added pockets/compartments for the laptop and iPad. I am a little surprised with the strap. Its thinner than my last bag but still decent.

Using as my "everyday carry" which means I replaced my totebag for greater organization. Very easy to find everything inside. Keep my I-pad and notebooks in the back, with smaller items up front. Always room for a light jacket or scrub top in front too. It's a bit severe for me being solid grey, but it works for me for both school and work. On days that I will need to bring heavier texts, I'll use my Rogue backpack.

My bag is absolutely delightful! Bright colors, fun flower fabric, and lots of pockets. I'm so happy with how it turned out!

Love my messenger bag! Sturdy, stylish and all my things fit nicely.

I've been a dedicated cyclist since I bought my first motobecane, made in France with hear a derailers, in 1977. I've committed all over the United States, in Chicago, in New York City, in Washington DC, and more recently in London and Stuttgart Germany. The large classic messenger bag I just got from Timbuk2 is absolutely Superior. Your website was clean and efficient and honest. I cannot more highly recommend not only the bag, but dealing directly with Timbuk2 to purchase it.

This product is extremely well made and thoughtfully designed. Period.

It's not quite as big as I hoped (I bought the Classic size). Also, it needs more pockets and slots for things. BUt...it is gorgeous and very well made.

I've been using Timbuk2 since the beginning, but first messenger in a while, and I love the improvements: one-handed adjustment, grab strap, softer feel, etc. And to my happy surprise, custom came more quickly than expected. Proud to own such a well-made and beautiful thing.

I've had the OG messenger for 20 years. This is a subtle upgrade. Roomy, nice addition of laptop sleeve, bottle cages inside and exterior fabric. I'm not sure if I like the sleeve in the middle yet.
