Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag - Large

The small is the perfect size for a small person (5'1"). Other cyclists love the reflectiveness too.

as a travel bag, is too big to use it as a laptop and documents bag

This is my third Timbuk2 messenger bag. I use the small size as a diaper bag, medium as my camera bag and large size as a diaper/travel bag. Love all of them.

This is the third timbuk2 bag I have owned, but the first that I designed. I LOVE it. I work in nonprofit and have lived in Atlanta, San Francisco and now New Mexico; and I travel a lot. My bag goes with me everywhere!

From school, to band, to football games I got it covered. It's roomy enough to carry a change of clothes and stylish because 'it's my design'. Love it and the heavy-duty construction.

I just wanted to say how much I love my new bag. It is even cuter in person than online. It is large, roomy, attractive, and stylish. The strap is comfy and it hold my computer, my work, and extra diapers and baby stuff for my little one. Lightweight enough that I can take it to work, school, around town, or on my bike on the weekends. Just what I needed! Thanks!

We gave these to all of our developers and they just plain loved them. The ease of customizing it was second only to the service I got when I had questions. We'll be ordering more. Timbuk2 made me a customer for life. P.S. Just one outside pocket would be great. :-)

I have this bag from the mid 90's and just wanted a new one cuz I'm a bag junkie! The old one still has lots of life in it even after my hard use of it. I love all the new pockets and upgrades that they made to this bag. Fits perfectly in HD hard saddlebags. Keep bringing the good stuff timbuk 2!

I use my bag to bike to work every day with a bulky laptop. The bag is great! Solid construction, I like the simplicity in design. It holds a ton of stuff and sits perfectly and comfortably across my back as I bike. Between commuting and the large amount of business travel I do, I live out of this thing. I love how great it looks too, I get compliments on it constantantly.

Good looking bag!

The bag looked and felt exactly the way it was described. The only potential con is that the strap isn't padded, but, at the same time, it's not uncomfortable, either. A great bag - would definitely recommend for multiple purposes.

It is abobe all my expectations, I use It everyday, very happy with it!

It's mine and you can't have it.

I love it and no one else at school has anything even close to mine.

Daily commute is car to ferry terminal -> hop on wsdot ferry to Seattle -> walk to bus stop -> bus to office.. In reverse to go home. Thank you timbuk2 for making a reliable bag for my daily commute!

A diaper bag dedicated to dad is a must, unless you like carrying a baby purse. The diaper bag market is geared toward moms so finding a quality masculine diaper bag is tough. The stork is great but only has two color options. The classic messenger is a perfect blend of form and function that will out last the need to fill the bag with diapers and baby gear.

Use wet towel to clean

Quality and detail fantastic plus being able to customize was even more fantastic!

Well organized space with plenty of well-placed storage pockets. It's roomy but not bulky. Adjustable strap allows for easy, hands-free carrying. Awesome bag.

It's waterproof and I use it at school everyday I also use it biking I like it because it's lightweight and durable Sincerely your loyal customer, Cian

Amazing bag of high quality stitching and material! This has become my every use bag in no time! Only issue I have with the bag is that the inside drink pockets are a bit on the small side and are thus very difficult to put a bigger can in than the standard 33cl coca cola can. And the strap could have been another 10cm longer to allow for taller people (1m90)

I have previously used a Timbuk2 back pack for packing my laptop and riding my bike, but with my new job, I drive to work and I carry lots of files. My new, larger laptop and my numerous files and books fit very well, comfortably on my back to carry and I can open the flap and access them easily. The adjustable strap is perfect.

So the real treat here is customization - what I got was a great-looking bag that I will never see on anyone else when I commute. It came out just as I thought it would, based on the online images. The waxed canvas is awesome. I also love the buckle - it's really easy to tighten the shoulder strap, although it does require two hands. The cross strap is also great, although when I'm not on my bike and don't fasten it, it becomes a little annoying, so I just velcroed it off, and only put it back on when I need it. Customization is awesome, but it has its drawbacks - as all bags are uniquely made (hand-made, I might add), things are not automatic, and from my bag, the internal water bottle pockets were left out. I loved every other aspect of this bag so much that I never thought of returning it, but I still let customer service know. They immediately offered to refund some of the price, or make a new bag - customer service is amazing and fast, comparable to huge companies like amazon. But with more heart. I've used this bag only for about a week, but I'm in love, and I think my next one will also come from these guys.

Like custom options to create a look and tailor the uses. Love the inside laptop/tablet pocket. This is perfect for to/from work with cookbooks/files/tablet and traveling. my 4th Timbuk2 bag, no reason not to love it!

I wear this bag EVERYDAY. I love the adjustable strap for cycling to school and work. I just wish it came WITH the shoulder strap and that it wasn't an extra $20. And they had a lot of orders so it took 3 extra days outside the norm for me to get my bag. I STILL LOVE IT THOUGH.
