Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Extra Small

Works perfect as my everyday work bag. Fits my iPad, keys, wallet, water, and some other electronics (with COVID-19 also has room for masks and sanitizers). Perfect size for what I was looking for. Only thing I would personally change would be removing the Velcro (maybe eplacing with magnets), but it's still nearly perfect.

My first TIMBUK2 messenger bag lasted 15 years before it started looking so ragged and was missing some parts, I decided to get a new one. That's not even to say the old one is not usable, because it is, and if this bag stays alive as long as the old one, I will be even happier. One thing my old messenger bag had was more compartments inside the bag, and it helped to keep cables, chargers, and other portable electronics and accessories separate, so I miss that in the new bag. However, there is a great deal more volume in the new bag, and I can toss a change of clothes in there and take a trip, or put other larger objects in there. I love these bags and would totally recommend to anyone looking.

I once bought a bag from another company. Never again. Timbuk2 bags hold up longer, look fresher longer. I love that my bag is one large open space that I can fill with whatever I want. I know some thought went into creating small compartments and zippered sections within the bag, but I'm happier not using them. But they are there if you like being hyper-organized.

Perfect for the office and travel. Love it.

For my everyday use to work and non work too because it is so cool.

Bought this bag to take belongings to and from work, and it's big enough to fit my 11 x 17 design paper. Happy with it so far!

As a mom of 4, having a durable and resilient bag was top on my list. I wanted a bag with a name I could trust and I found it in Timbuk2. I got the XS messenger bag on the sale option and I am not disappointed. It's slim enough where it's just my essential items go in (Waller, sunglasses and my car keys) but enough space where I can keep my sons epidural pen and medication in it for those 'just in case' incidents. I already own a large messenger bag and a backpack when I travel and I don't think I am going to end there.

I think this is my 6th messenger bag from Timbuk2. I love them. I love the organization, the water resistance, the cross body style. I started a new job and rewarded myself with a new bag. I looked at a whole bunch of options from a whole bunch of companies and came back to Timbuk2 because that's what I love. I work in the emergency department and needed something that could keep me organized but also stand up to the abuse and look good doing it. Highly recommend

My first Timbuk2 messenger bag was an XS and I decided to get a S because I needed a little more room for everything I take to work. I am absolutely in love with it, I like having everything organized in my bag and all the pockets are so perfect. There is only one thing that is just a bit annoying to me, I recently bought the Timbuk2 insulated bottle water((In love with it)) and it fits perfectly in the water bottle pocket but it doesn't close all the way, but I just use that pocket for other things now, other than that I LOVE MY BAG. I have so many Timbuk2 products now.

I've owned Timbuk2 products since the 90s - two messenger bags and a backpack. I had been eyeing the small classic messenger after I retired in 2018 as my daily carry, and the sale came along and I pulled the trigger. Boy, I'm really happy I did - the small classic messenger meets my EDC needs since I don't have to carry much office paperwork and accessories like I did when I was working (the older bags really served me well back then!). A MacBook, a water bottle, a tech pouch, and a journal are my daily needs nowadays, and the classic messenger is perfect! Lighter, more agile and with better organization, the classic messenger is an upgraded, updated version of its former self, and I think the only suggestion I can offer for further evolution might be magnets instead of Velcro so that it's a little quieter upon opening the bag. Great stuff, at a great price!

Got the XS for just everyday small bag and S for work stuff (I need to carry a lot of things). I'm 163-165cm female, XS is a lovely size to carry around! Would be good for hiking or travelling too. Lots of pockets, good build. XS is also good for carrying Nintendo Switch with a hard pouch and accessories. If the internal pockets can have more depth (rather than shallow pockets) it will work better for me because for S bag I would be carrying thicker things like bottles and battery packets. Thanks and well done!

Purchased as a grad gift along with the Timbuk2 3 way accessory case. ...added pens, pencil case etc. He has not received yet but it is a gift I am so excited to give it to him!

I'm biased as I love Timbuk2 stuff, but the moment I saw this online I think I drooled a little :-) I got the jet black version in size small. It's just the perfect size to carry around and lots of pockets and compartments in which to keep stuff. It looks fantastic and like it will last for years. Thank you for the fast delivery!

Great bag, love the bright colors!

So happy

This is a graduation gift and will be loved. Great quality

Bought this for a friend getting her master degree. It's very professional looking and also appears super durable. I was surprised to see how many compartments it had. She absolutely LOVED IT!!

This is my second messenger bag that I have bought from this company and I love them, I have the bigger brother to this one I just bought, great quality, well made, long lasting, I take them everywhere and have no problems with storing my computer and any paperwork,,, easy to carry when riding my bike. I love these bags.

Sister loves it and she really likes the small size.

Purchased online. On my porch in five days. Look is very cosmopolitan. Functionality is superb. High quality product. Biked to work in the rain and all content was dry on arrival.

So this is my 2nd size SMALL msngr bag. I also have a medium and an XS. The medium works well for me on days when I have 4 classes and have a lot of books and binders to carry around. The XS works like a purse for me, and is great to sling over my shoulder for day trips to museums, parks, etc. It holds the essentials and I can carry my ipad and Kindle too. The small I now own in grey and in "hazard" - I bought this one in hazard because I love the color combo - and I won't lose the bag, haha. The small works great as the bag I bring to work with me, or to class if I only need a smaller textbook or notebook and either my Chromebook or my Ipad. Going to work I can easily stuff a spare set of scrubs, lunch, and a coffee carafe, as well as my pen case, my umbrella, my wallet, my calendar and my Kindle. I like to leave the strap long and sling it crossbody. I also own a Timbuk2 totebag that I've used for 25 years. Only Timbuk2 bag that had to be retired was a smaller shoulder tote that I spilled a container of chili in one day (yes, I cried that day). The only problem I have with Timbuk2 is that my husband thinks we have too many bags (oh, we have Timbuk2 panniers for our bicycles too!). I love the zipper pocket under the flap that is easy access, and the compartments in the inside front. The only change I would make is to make the water bottle holder wider/stretchier -- or just add two to the exterior of the bag, one at each end.

I have had Timbuk2 messenger bags and have always loved them. I recently retired and bike a lot more but don't have to take everything and the kitchen sink with me any more. My new size is large enough but not too large and fits like a glove for my extended rides.

I've just recently achieved a decades long goal of biking to work. I needed a bag I could carry comfortably to transport lunch, laptop etc for 10 miles round trip daily. This bag (large) works great!

Exactly what I was looking for and exactly what I was promised

The product shipped quick and was amazing in it packaging and now use. I thoroughly enjoy the new bag.
