Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Especial Raider Pack

This is the best most lightweight bag T2 has to offer! I love how small it can get and how much it can fit when needed. This is my number one commuting bag on bike!

What can't I say about the Especial Raider Backpack? It's my go-to bag for bike commuting and even those longer rides on the weekends. Fits an extra pair of shoes/sandals on the inside pockets. I can even keep my collared shirt folded nicely. Fits a jacket, lock, and even my helmet. It's lightweight enough that it makes for a great travel. It can stash in my luggage and not take up too much room. Use it for all of the days activities. The only problematic part is that the hanger sometimes gets in the way when I'm running late and trying to zip up my bag but that can be fixed if I take my time dashing out of the door.

I love this bag! I use it on the days I take my toddler to the park. For those of you with children, they can be overwhelming sometimes and this pack will not make you sweat. I know it's made for "commuting" but the pockets are great for snacks, toys, diapers, etc. Recommended by a mom.

I have several bags from Timbuk2 but this one is by far my favourite one. You can use in a daily commute but also if you need a more formal look. It's really light and can handle so much weight. The shoes compartment are ideal for keep everything organized besides your shoes. Doubtlessly, the perfect purchase for every situation.

Best pack ever. Really this is an all-terrain piece, great for men and women, active or urban commuting, every day. Super lightweight but also supportive. Packs down small, GREAT for travel -- I bring mine on every trip. This is the kind of bag that everyone I know who has tried it loves it and can't stop raving about it. Have seen great riders wearing it, women on scooters and people on metro. This one will stay in my wardrobe for a long, long time. Can't recommend more highly!

I love this bag. It's a great lightweight bag for the gym. It's has organizer pockets inside for my running shoes, clothes, towel, etc. I like the mesh back to keep the sweating down, as a lot of bags don't seem to have that nowadays. It has 2 water bottle pockets on the outside that super stretch for my 40 oz insulated bottle or my Nalgene. The only downsides are I wish the top zippered pocket was lower in the bag; when it's weighted down it can make the bag flop down from the top.

This pack is the best and most versatile pack I've ever had. I wear it biking, hiking, to work, and on day hikes. It's super light weight and has pockets for everything. I want it in every color!

one of the best bags I've ever owned. The video doesn't show the best part, which is the shirt-board and hanger. Fold your shirt around the board, slip it into the sleeve and keep your shoes and other clothes separate in the bag itself. I ride to work and am able to keep my iPad, pants, shoes, phone and even chargers organized. It even has room for my bike lock and a water bottle on the side. When I get into the office, I can hang the bag on the hook and it makes getting dressed and staying organized super easy! Great design and comfortable to wear when riding. Love this bag!

This is a really great little pack. Lightweight, a few nicely placed and functional pockets, a bit of reflectivity and pretty comfortable. I like the key tether and the side pockets fit bigger water bottles when I take the pack out all day.
