Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

I ordered this messenger bag as a graduation gift for my nephew. I love it. Very good quality. Well made and stylish. It will work well for travel to classes in college.

I love the custom fabric and this is the perfect size bag for all the grading I drag home with me day after day!

This is my new daily back-and-forth to work bag. it's a good size for a laptop and a few essentials. I've had lots of Timbuk2 bags over the years and this one is similar to a 20-yr old classic messenger that I now save for weekends. I'm happy to report that materials / construction are similar quality. I anticipate this new one will go twenty years too. And I appreciate that it's made in SF.

I just love my bag. Perfect size for the office. I did not order the organizer for a water container, but will be.

Custom was the way to go. Awesome bag.

Waited to order a custom messenger until you had a fabric choice that appealed to me. LOVE it! Workmanship is A+.

Being able to customize the bag, I got the high visibility / reflective and rain resistant bag I was wanting. Being Timbuk2 I got features I only discovered after using the bag for a week.

I have been using this xsmall messenger bag as purse and work bag for a few years, but it just wouldnt wear out. I ordered a new one for a change in color and to costomize with a drink holder. I love the new one! The pockets and padded space for iPad helps me stay organized. I do wish the order page included a field for more custom detail, as I would have preferred no buckle straps, but couldn't find a place to request that. Thanks, great product.

I have 3 timbuk2 bags and I love them !!!!!

It is perfect

Really truly and wonderfully beautiful. Totally delighted!

The custom bag came out perfect, and the craftsmanship is great. Love it!

I purchased a customer classic messenger (medium) two months ago and held off reviewing it until I had a chance to use it for a bit. It has just about everything I've ever wanted in a bag and is well worth the cost. I'm a grad student and freelancer and it adapts perfectly for both. I also recently took a quick work trip and was extremely pleased with it as my travel bag. Best features are it has lots of room with plenty of thoughtful pockets.

I have purchased a bunch of custom messenger bags for both myself and friends. Every single one was built exactly the same, perfectly and with care! I recommend any Timbuk2 bag you are currently looking at. But MY favorite is definitely these messenger bags. Lots of options, pockets, and a very comfortable optional strap.

This is main work bag and my third Timbuk2 bag. I find this particular bag relatively light, spacious and it has enough compartments to keep my files separated and organized.

I use this to bring stuff to/from work. It doesn't hold quite as much as my old bag that i had for this purpose but it's stiylish and the strap is the perfect length. It holds all I need, and so far haven't had any durability issues with it.

After 10 years of service by my original Timbuktu messenger, i decided to look for a new bag to professionalize my look. The current model surpasses the original with internal compartments which prevent shifting and help organize the contents. So far the quality and durability looks good but we'll see how the next 10 years go.

I had my first Timbuk2 bag for about 8 years. It faithfully logged a lot of travel miles. This was is even better, with the same strong construction and my favorite option of being able to personal and design the style the way I want it.

I love the Timbuk2 medium bike bag I bought. It is exactly what I needed for my computer, files and more! The shoulder sling is perfect for weight balance and running out the door to meetings. Thank you !!!

I use this to transport my laptop, ipad, and cables I use for work and commute on a motorcycle. The build quality is amazing and none of the materials or latch things feel cheap whatsoever. The only issue I had with it was the water bottle holder things on the inside. They're suited more towards smaller water bottles and my big 42oz bottle has to remain on the outside, which I don't really like since it's kind of heavy and I feel like it'll fall off or something. Other than that it's a great product and I love it, it's rain resistant and I even got that rain coat thing to put around it. Honestly, if it had an outside water bottle strap or something to keep it hugging the body this would be THE bag for me.

Works great for biking and commuting. I'm really happy with my purchase.

I was using a large messenger bag for work, but it was too bulky. Bought a medium and LOVE it. Perfect size, well constructed and lighter than my other bag. Fits everything I need for work including water and lunch.

I've been using Timbuk2's messenger bags for over 20 years. I love the simplicity and practical features included. I still own my first custom messenger bag from 1997 and it still holds up to everything I dish at it. I now own several bags in a variety of sizes for different purposes. I use my bags for everything work, travel, biking or just hanging out. I just received my new custom bag and I am thrilled with it! Made in San Francisco for less than 150 bucks! So worth it.

I was looking for a messenger bag to use back and forth to work (I work in a hospital and need lots of various things for long work days). I am able to put my lunch in it, my socks, a few snacks, my wallet, and sometimes a shaker bottle. I'm 5'1 and the strap is a great length. The extra handle on the back is super useful (wasn't sure about it at first). Can't wait for winter, i'll be hands free of a bag!!
