Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Command Messenger - Large

I have a wide range of items and document that I travel with and the bag has a place for everything i use for work. Computer, ipad, 1/2 set of drawings (folded) with specs, legal documents and my all important morning coffee travel mug.

I'm a law student, and this bag was perfect for what I needed -- a bag to store heavy textbooks, folders, and notebooks, as well as a place for my laptop. It's the perfect amount of space, and I love the setup with the secondary compartment for the laptop. The only annoyance was the hook system instead of the clips I was used to from my old Timbuk2 bag -- once you get the hang of them it's not bad, but it took me a little while to figure out how to quickly open and close the bag with the hooks.

I use this bag every day. I commute to work by bus, and I really needed a bag that looked good at the office, was durable enough to withstand a daily commute, and was comfortable to use. There are SO MANY compartments. There are a lot of great, tucked away places so you can stash things conveniently and hide things away if that's a concern. When I first received the bag, I wasn't sure about the latching system, but now that I'm used to it, I find it's really secure and really easy to use. The bag is waterproof, which makes it great in case it starts raining out. The fabric has some reflectivity to it, which is nice if you're out in the dark (especially in the winter, when it's always dark). The bag *has* velcro to close the main flap, but they don't force you to use it. The velcro comes covered with a strip, which I really like because I do not enjoy having to rip open velcro every time I want to get into the main compartment. That's a really thoughtful design feature. This bag is so great that it's now my everyday bag. The strap is prefect to wear cross-body, which makes it much more comfortable and convenient for commuting. No more tugging straps up on my shoulders while I'm walking. I'm a huge fan. All my bags from now are will be from Timbuk2. I'm absolutely thrilled with this one.

Easily the best bag I've ever used. It's incredibly comfortable and I couldn't be happier. Perfect for bike commuting.

Use this while commuting to school everyday. Carry my laptop, notebook, headphones, drink, portable charger, and leisure reading material. At times it can feel heavy but still have plenty of room left if needed.

Love the quality, lightweight, and plenty of room for cords, misc. items. The padded separate sleeve is ideal..

They have thought of everything with this bag. It is so well designed. I took it on a business trip right after I got it and it was a perfect carry-on. I unzipped the middle zipper, flipped it open and didn't have to take my laptop out for TSA. There are pockets for everything. I put my tablet in the front zipper compartment without having to open the bag. That is so convenient. It is the perfect size (large) and it looks great on top of all of this. I will never buy another bag that is not Timbuk2.

I use this bag for daily business with commuting and air travel. I love all the compartments with easy access to cables and chargers. Also, the quality of the fabrics used are fantastic. Lastly, I love how the laptop section of the bag is insulated and super easy to access while even wearing the bag.

I love this bag - I needed a new laptop bag that I could gram a few things in to get me through the weekend. This bag is almost perfect - (if I had 1 wish it would be Timbuk2 make this in another bigger size). The compartments are perfect for storing stuff - I am not very good at being organized with my stuff but this design REALLY helps. The bag is super well made and super well designed. The color is much better than in the picture - it's darker. I only just got it but I am SUPER happy. So far I think it's the best bag I've ever. Thanks Timbuk2

I was a big fan of BumBakPak's. Couldn't find a replacement for one that was close to it. I like even better than my old BumBakPak bag. Has great features that my other one didn't.

I use this messenger bag every day for my walk/ride (depending on the weather) commute to the office (university). I was able to get it on a great sale between Black Friday and Christmas and don't regret it a bit. I have a medium and the bag is just about the right size. It can fit my 13" laptop, notebooks, lunch, and a sweater without too much hassle and it remains comfortable to wear. I travel a fair bit for fieldwork and is serves me well. Tons of pockets for headphones, sunglasses, laptop chargers, etc. It's stylish enough to be worn day-to-day and also take to conferences or lectures. Great product overall. Can't speak to the quality yet, as I've only had it for 3 months.

Supreme messenger combines classic style, comfort, and accessibility design

I use this product as a teacher to move from classroom to classroom during my day. The only thing that I dont love is that the fabric rubs my dress pants and causes the fabric to ball up on my pants.

For work. Keep working files, projects and computer. Great bag, had the messenger for the last 10 years and that one is still in great shape. Love my new bag, use the olier one fit recreation activities now.

Best messenger bag I have ever owned! My third one, only because I gave the first one to a friend and the second was stolen. Highly recommended for office/school/commuting/travel. Stylish yet practical beyond belief. Great bag!

Gift to my husband to replace his 10+ year-old Timbuk2 with a slightly smaller more contemporary looking bag he could use for the office. He's super happy with it. Very well-made and practical.

I bought this bag for my daughter, a senior in high school. The bag is very attractive, roomy, and well made. She loves it! It holds a whole lot! She loves all of the pockets and features and is looking forward to using it as she heads off to college next year.

Great bag. Make sure you read what the pockets are for because they work great for what they're designed for. The design is just clever on this ,made for people who are using their computer and commuting every day, and even walking between offices. the laptop is easy to put in and take out, ti's well protected, and there's built in tablet slots too. Water resistance is a major plus too. Overall, it's a great bag, the best I've ever owned. Time will tell how long it lasts, but so far it seems very rugged/sturdy. and it looks really nice too

This bag fits my giant laptop and allows me room in the main storage compartment. A pleasure to travel with.

This is a great bag for daily use as well as air travel. The laptop and tablet compartment is a great convenience for going through security. The zipper pocket running underneath the bag works very well for carrying things that don't require quick access - I use it for scarves, gloves, and shopping bags, but it would work well for many other items as well. Two small suggestions to make this bag even better: honing the balance and dividing some of the small pockets in the main compartment for pens. My bag does not stand well on its own, which I would like it to do, and I would rather have individual pockets for pens rather than two pockets that can hold two pens. These minor things aside, this is a great bag that I hope to use for a long time.

My wife got this on a 40% off sale from Timbuk2, making it an exceptional value buy!

It is a great bag for carrying my computer on flights but I use it every day to carry my computer and files with me to the office.

Love it. Plenty of pockets. Building tough.

I purchased this for my brother as a Christmas gift- he loves it and finds it very useful for his traveling IT career. Thanks!

Stylish and well built.
