Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Command Messenger Bag - Large

The only thing I would even suggest changing would be to add a piece of velcro to the silencer straps so that they stay in place on their own, rather than them being stored in the pocket.

Great bag. Perfect size for smaller laptops. Have a Dell Latitude E7440 / 14 inch, and fits with plenty of room left over. Also has a nice pouch for full size iPad.

I bought this for my son-in-law who is a college professor and a young father. He has spilled his coffee on the bag and one of the kids spilled a Gatorade on it as well. He was amazed on how easy and well it cleaned up. The TSA friendly bag is a plus when he travels. He had been looking for just the right bag for several months and is very happy with it.

My old bag had about just enough room for my MacBook. It wasn't cutting it. As GM of a largish East Coast winery, I am constantly on the go: meeting clients, wholesalers, visiting our stores, etc. I needed a bag that could hold a slew of files, but also my computer stuff. I also needed something I could carry around in the city that wasn't too bulky. This bag is all that and then some. Plus is looks super good. You've got a customer for life Timbuk2!!

I use it for air travel. It looks really nice. Understated but classy. It's strong and sturdy and can withstand wear and tear. I love it because I can access immediate things that I may need (Cell phone, passport etc.) without having to open the whole bag, Plenty of room inside with a simple array of pockets and compartments (not too many and all useful). Sad there isn't a key fob..so I took it off my old Timbuktu and sewed it into this one see..I'm independent

I just started teaching and wanted a bag to carry my laptop and other books/notebooks/folders, that wasn't a bagpack, but I also wanted it to be stylish. This bag is perfect. It's durable. Has great room. Fits my iPad and my laptop very comfortable.

I am really enjoying this bag. Went with the Medium size and my 15.7" (diagonal) laptop is pretty tight in the TSA-approved pocket (I'll admit my work laptop is a bit of a hoss), but fits just fine in the main compartment. I got the Black/Red Devil bag and was surprised by how dark red (basically maroon) the front and shoulder straps are. I'm okay with the color now, but don't expect the straps to be a bright red.

This was a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it!!

This bag is perfect. No regrets and no problems. I would absolutely purchase from Timbuk2 , any of the products. I especially appreciate that their environmental and human rights concerns.

I bought this specifically as a gift for my partner who travels a lot for his job. It was great to see TSA compliant compartments for his laptop that will save him time through security.

I've used a lot of bags in my 22 years of school, & I have to say this is by far the best one I've ever owned. I love the way it looks and the way it feels over my shoulder. The adjustable strap is a big plus, because as I commute on a bike, I want the bag to ride high, and then I as walk around a lot at work, taking my bag on and off periodically, it's nicer to have the shoulder strap a little bit longer. Adjusting is super easy! The only thing I might improve is to request that the chest strap be a little more sturdy and thick and have a better mechanism to fasten it to the top of the shoulder strap. Since I do a lot of biking on my commute, feeling a little more secure with the strap would make a difference for me. Great bag!

Very useful to use while I bike or walk to work.

use with my macbook 12 inch retina, iPad... roomy enough to carry files and some books... really like the outside pockets and space for a water bottle on the the OUTSIDE of the bag instead of inside...

Love the bag. Looks good, seems very durable. I use an MacBook Pro 15" and it fits in the computer sleeve very nicely. If I had a couple of complaints it would be that the Apple power supply doesn't fit into the power supply compartment if you attach the cord instead of the wall socket adapter. Also, the metal buckles used to hold the top flap in place close easily but can be troublesome to open. Other than that, it's a dream.

Use the bag for traveling back and forth to work and business travel.

I'm an avid photographer. This bag just fits all I need when going out on a shoot. It's very stylish (got a lot of compliments), sturdy and well-thought of. I know this will last me for a long time. I just hope you keep making bags like this one Timbuk2. Thank you so much

It's great for the office, you can take your computer out without disorganizing the rest of your stuff. I have a small bag, wished I would have bought the medium sized. The computer fits perfectly fin but a little bit more room in the center pocket would have been nice. My only con is that when the bag is lying on the floor it doesn't stand by itself, it falls on its face.

I use by bag back and forth from work carrying my laptop and when I travel I through all my electronics in there (iPad , JayBirds, charging ports, etc. Easy access when I need to grab something. Great product. Would buy again for sure.

I've been using my first Timbuk2 messenger for over 15 years, and while it's still going strong, I wanted to upgrade my colors and storage. This bag has a clean modern look (I love the grey with the red lining and zipper details) and plenty of storage. Best features for me are the back access to my laptop, the handy front zippered compartments, and the velcro silencers. Only a couple drawbacks; the front clasps look great but were hard to open at first (they seem to be getting easier the more I use them) and I ordered the small and find it challenging to get the power adapter into its pocket. Great bag, great company.

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas. He just took his first trip this week and loved sailing through TSA (well...no on really sails through security!). But flying with this bag made his travels easier. The bag is roomy and stylish and works great for regular travel.

Have two bags now - different types. Both bags do not stand well when placed on a counter or the floor and will fall over. These are great products and well made, but would be even better with some built in stability in base to be able to stand up better.

I gave this to my teenage son for Christmas. He has been abusing it since and it still looks great.

I bought this online so it's a little hard to know what you're getting. The bag is excellent quality, I was pleasantly surprised by the bright red interior, I couldn't tell on website the interior color. I like bright interiors since black interiors make in harder to find things in low light. The computer compartment is very nice and protects computer well. I ordered the small size, but I would like interior space and pockets to be little bigger. Overall excellent bag.

Use it for travel to carry laptop, iPad, personal stuff.

Great design.
