Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

Use this bags are great experienced with a lot of compartments.

Let me start by saying that I'm a great fan of all your products. This one purchase is one of my fav. Conveniently crafted to all my needs . Light and strong !! Every pocket fits my needs. Every one commons on my bag. I know the price doesn't fit every ones budget but in the long long the investment will pay off because they last ! Keep up the great work and continue to be innovated in future styles !!

Quality is even better than I expected! I was worried about possibly spilling things out of the top since it doesn't have a top zipper, but the engineering makes it so that this is not a problem at all! I would definitely buy this again.

The updated version of the bag is much needed. I have several messengers in various sizes and this will be my go to for the year. The water bottle compartment on the inside is the primary reason why I purchased it. I LOVE it. In addition to the various pockets inside to secure your items, the updated cam strap makes the look and the feel of the bag much better. I don't feel any pressure when carrying it around the city. This is the perfect size for commuting to work or school. Don't overstuff it. I intend to go paperless this year and if you pack your bag properly you won't feel any strain on your shoulders or back.. Good job TIMBUK2!!!!!!!!

I appreciate the fabric color, the bags design, and price. I bought this for my teen daughter as a bag she can switch to when she needs a break from her backpack. She loves it too.

Best bag ever!!!!

Hope this one lasts over ten years. Last one lasted nine before the zippers busted, seem stronger on this messenger.

Walk 25 miles a day with my extra small messenger bag holding my iPad mini , samsung 6, light jacket and a sunscreen umbrella . If you don't believe me ; check fitbit it says i average 35000 steps a day

Love everything about this bag ! Thank you for the customized create your own bag option. Had fun playing with the combinations. Colors true as advertised online . You'll have fun with this !

Customized a bag a couple of years ago. Decided I "needed" a smaller bag. Knew I had to customize another bag from Timbuk2 since I loved the first one so much. Ordered all floral this time. Wish you guys had more girlie colors(maybe I missed them this go round). Love what I ordered. Will order again. My mom loved mine so much, so customized her own!

Well designed. Large and comfortable

Product is exactly as described. Appears very sturdy, I appreciate the variety of pockets including the quick pocket on the outside.

Excellent workmanship. Exactly what I was looking for. Now I can find everything quickly and don't have to paw around in my bag looking for stuff (I used a small drawstring backpack before). I like the way it rides on one's back out of the way and love the adjustable easy-release strap and buckle. Thanks Timbuk2 for creating a product that improves my life!

I ordered the custom messenger bag for my son for his birthday. I loved that we could customize fabric, color, interior pockets etc. Product is very well made and I would definitely order again.

Just received my customized messenger bag and completely love it! Looks exactly the order I made online. Fast shipping.

This isn't my first TimBuk2 messenger bag. I have a small size of the previous classic messenger style and have dutifully used it for over four years. I bought this new one in a medium size, which fully engulfs the smaller older sibling. The new version has made significant improvements on the interior organization; the tablet pouch is a nice touch and the Velcro strap over the laptop divider is appreciated in the larger space. The interior partitions are clean and accessible, with quality zippers and stitching. The shoulder fit remains exceptional and the wide strap is very comfortable. The tightening mechanism in the strap buckle seems to be slightly better than it was in the previous version. The only drawback I have found to this bag is that the bottle holders inside are a wee bit too small for my water bottles. I lug around bottles that are a minimum of a 0.75 L size or larger and these pockets just do not accommodate them. I rectified this by attaching a carabiner. Overall, this is an amazing and well-designed bag. I plan on using this for many years to come.

This bag is fantastic, it has everything that I need!

But I've never had one until now. It's a great bag. Organized well. Looks good. Has great pockets and is well balanced.

I enjoy going to the library with my laptop. This bag gives me a lot of space to not only carry my laptop and it's accessories but extra things I always leave home because lack of space. Now I have room for my external hard drive with all my photographs vs being selective with images on a thumb drive.

Back in 2004 i bought my first custom messenger bag from Timbuk2. It served me well for 15 years before it got to the point that i decided to buy new ones. the quality is still excellent. I bought one for daily use and one for hiking use. The costumizer tool is very easy to use, so you can design exactly the bag you want. The image i uploaded shows my old bag and my two new ones.

This bag weighs almost nothing, but holds quite a bit. I commute w my MacBook in it, but it's great for stashing just a newspaper and water bottle!

Quality product as always.

I chose a custom bag because I didn't like any of the color options. My new bag is red, orange and yellow with teal trim and a blue logo - I smile every time I look at it. It is also a lot less hot walking to work with this bag than with a backpack. I'm so stoked and looking forward to years with this bag.

I had been looking at this line of messenger bags for years to replace my laptop backpack. I always thought the price point was a little high , so I just managed with a bag I did not like. When I saw a good sale 4th of July weekend I decided to make the purchase. I can not be happier and wish I had just paid full price years ago. Simply an awesome and versatile bag. Plenty of room in the large with lots of storage. Carrying and using this bag actually makes me happy and I am not a materialistic guy. I am a late 40 something with a wife , kids, career , etc... who is not very stylish or fancy - but this bag is just awesome- head and shoulders above others.

Exactly what I've been looking for in a messenger bag.
