Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

Out all day on my back walking through flooding, everything was dry. Leave it out all day in the Sun, everything is still cool to the touch. Leave it hanging on the worksite with heavy dust blowing and everything is still fairly clean and uncontaminated inside. It has pockets to put everything I need in a daily bag and a load of groceries on my way home. Its my go to, everyday.. And its holding up great!

I enjoy Timbuk2 bags i can stuff them and they hold up for a daily bag and dont have to worry if it will rip or not i'm still working on the full line i have'nt met a bag i did'nt like yet.

I am so happy to finally have a custom Timbuk2 bag! I love having two inner side pockets on the medium size. Picking my own colors was so much fun!

The colors are strikingly rich and beautiful!

I like the fit and size of the bag. I outgrew the XS size. It has an open bucket in the bag.. Wish there was something in place to divide it in half. The strap is narrower than my previous bag, which makes it more comfortable for me.

I pack with an above average bookload and for a long time I couldn't find a good bag but this Timbuk2's messenger bag is so comfortable, stylish and very durable! Just be sure to grab a laptop sleeve as it does not offer enough extra padding to protect a laptop from drops!

Much improved adjustable light weight shoulder strap over my original well used T. 2 bag.

Love this bag. I wish you could take the long thin piece out that provides support for files when you dont need it. Also would put longer reflective material on the straps, otherwise no issues

I took a very long time to design my bag, I forgot to order a comfort strap with my bag, but the customer service team helped add to my order and took the extra shipping charge off. They were quickly responsive and helpful.

I love it and I use it every where, the colors and the material are great.

Excellent bag, fits everything I need for work. My only complaint is that I did not get a second when they were on sale!

Needed an upgrade from XS bag of 2008 - took the custom approach, got a Medium bag & it's perfect in every way. I wake up each day and say "I love this bag, best decision." Great size, strap is super comfortable, laptop sleeve eliminates my need for a case & I couldn't have asked for more with colors. Customer service was friendly/helpful & they even talked me into sending my XS bag bag for refurbishing (liner was worn/weathered) - and THEN i'll be so excited to have two different sizes back in my possession.

My partner brought this bag 13 years ago and it's still going but I was able to custom make a new one that is exactly the same! He is impressed with the compartments that can be zipped up. Great waterproof material. Uses it everyday to take his laptop to work or when going to the beach, kids sport. A really versatile bag. Highly recommend this bag. I ordered this from Australia and it arrived in a couple of days and was custom made. Very impressed!

I thought that I'd ordered the same small classic messenger bag I had previously, that my grandchildren took over for their activities on the go. When it arrived I realized this one was lighter weight material though otherwise seemed the same so I was concerned it might not be as rugged. WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! This lighter weight one holds all my things for the office and on the go. Love it!

I use this product daily for my commute to work and the gym. Commuting on an MTB on both trails and street on my way to work has been the norm for years now. The classic messenger bag can hold a lot ( breakfast, lunch, gallon of water, work clothes and shoes, bike lock, and numerous smaller items, with still enough room to store my hoody for the ride home), and it holds all of this while staying in place and comfortable during the entire ride. By far the best bag I have ever purchased.

This is probably one of the best purchases I have made in a very long time. I was kind of disappointed when I couldn't find exactly the color and or style I was originally looking for - but, as they say - everything happens for a reason. This is a beautiful bag, perfect shape, size, and the color has been complimented on by everyone who has seen the bag. Not only is the outside stylish, comfortable, and nice to look at, it is amazing all the room inside! I'm still discovering pockets and zippers! Great purchase, great buy, great company!!!

I decided to get a new messenger bag that was smaller than my old Timbuk2 bag (which is 22years old and still going strong!). I love my new one and get a lot of compliments! I especially like the reflective panel feature!

I love my Timbuk2! It's exactly what I need for work every day and I expect it will be just as useful the next time I travel. It's incredibly practical and the fabric on the one I ordered is both durable and washable, which is incredibly important to me. I love it so much that I gave it 5 stars even though there are a few things that I was very disappointed that this bag did not have. An outside accessible pocket on the front flap and one on the backside are absolute necessities and I may never replace the bag I currently have until they are added. The napoleon pocket is useful for only one thing at a time, really, so if I use it for my cell phone then I have to open the bag for my wallet or to get my keys. Two more outside zippered pocket would allow me to actually click the front flap closed, as it should be to reduce the strain on the velcro. I suspect that the velcro will fail sooner than I'd like because I don't buckle it closed. If I buckle it closed, however, getting to things I need while standing (like my wallet to make a purchase) are a huge hassle (I find it difficult to rebuckle everything without setting the bag down to distribute the weight better.) One thing that I absolutely love is the variety I have to choose from for colors and fabrics. I appreciate knowing that I may never run across another person who chose the same unique design as me... and how easy it is to recognize my own bag amongst a veritable sea of messenger bags.

Bought and gave it to my BFF as a gift, BFF loved it. Medium size is just right for everyday use for work, can hold up everything he needed

I use my Timbuk2 messenger for everything!!! From: Hiking, Camping, Mt. Biking, Work, Road Trips, Vacations; you will NEVER need any other bag!!! Timbuk2 is a bag that lives life with you!!! Also, great for hauling Booze!!!

I use this bag everyday for all of the things I need to have on me. I am the adoptive mother of 8 and this bag has a place for everything. It holds my planner and notebooks, in and outgoing mail, the occasional diapers or sippy cups and toys. I has more than enough pockets for my wallet, kids meds, lotion and chapstick, and my drink. It is super durable, easy to clean and doesn't attract dog hair. The shoulder pad on the strap is a luxury and my neck and shoulders thank you. I honesrly always liked the Timbuktu design so when I checked the out the thing the really sold we was that they came in different sizes and all measurements were listed. I paid a lot for my last bag and my planner didn't fit so I was constantly fumbling with that, the bag, and all the kids stuff. His bag was made for me though is not custom. Beyond perfect!

I work outside and carry my lunch with me every day and was looking for a perfect bag that will hold-up for 8 hours of wear 5 days a week. This bag is simply THE BEST! I'm so happy with it. It's durable, cute, and exactly what I wanted. Will be buying from Timbuk2 again!

Love it!

This has got to be the best bag I have ever owned. Perfect for my commutes on bike to school as well as my long drives to work. Fits the necessities and looks amazing while doing it! I will be using this one for years to come.

Great bag Great quality I would hesitate to recommend Timbuk2 to you!
