Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Extra Small

Out on my bicycle 365. Never lets me down.

I used a similar but now failing messenger bag when I travel to Europe because a back pack is less convenient in public transportation as a messenger bag. That means that I do not use this bag right now daily except when I prance around the house with it because I like it already very much. Great shoulder strap,easily adjustable, nice partition for my tablet, not too many extra pockets but enough to stay organized and get to items with one targeted grip, also some with zippers for securing the content. I like the colors, the material seems sturdy without being too bulky, I partially covered up the closure for the flap velcro because this attacked too securely the flap and latched on to unwanted targets as well. The flap has a nice fold to it so rain stays out of the bag (I have not tested this yet, but it sure looks like it). I like that the inside is gray not black as I can find items easier in the lighter colored lining. I like the bag so far very much! I am glad that I bought it and I shall use it on my next trip happily.

This thing is everything I need it to be. It's bigger than I expected and holds all my work things, lunch, water bottle, with extra room. I wish there were one outside pocket for easy access to wallet etc. you can't take anything out without undoing the clips which is kind of annoying. But when you compare the price to other messenger bags of similar quality it's a dang good deal.

I'll be using it daily, helping me with my laptop and notebooks in and out of meetings and work. Every detail of the bag is carefully done. Strong materials and design overall

This classic messenger fits perfectly in my daily routine. As a veteran photojournalist I like to travel and move about with a minimal amount of gear and having this beauty slung around my body is the perfect answer to keeping all of my personal items in one place. A phone, wallet, keys some extra film and even a slim point and shoot film camera fits safely in this number. When your hands are full when you are working...it's just what I needed.

I first heard of Timbuk2 when I was in college, back in the early 2000s. Everyone had them and I just figured it was the latest thing being hyped up. Recently came across them again after an exhaustive search for a work bag and I am a big fan. Believe the hype! Bought the small and it is the perfect size for me. I work at a hospital and during these COVID times it was important to have something I could easily wipe down. Fits my stethoscope, ID, masks, work reading materials. Very happy with this purchase!

I bike commute to work, and this bag fits in the locker. Great colors. Motorists in my county treat bicyclists like 3rd class citizens, so bright colors help.

I am a travelling veterinarian, and I use my Timbuktu bag to keep my personal items secure as I travel from clinic to clinic. This replaces my last Timbuktu bag, purchased when the company was just getting started, which has given me excellent service for almost a decade. I love the new colors and the streamlined pocket arrangement!

Everyday, I find a new interesting detail to this bag. Whether its a design choice, a new storage spot or a way to carry it, I am more in love with this bag each use. Perfect for anyone not carrying a multi day survival pack out , even though I kind of have that pack these days.

I love the bag! Excellent size for me. Perfect for walking to work ( essential Infrastructure job, thank goodness) in the wet sloppy Chicago spring weather! Sent from my iPhone

I have had the small messenger bag about a week, but so far I am loving it! I wanted a smaller bag to use daily for work or for a day outting with family or friends. This bag holds all the things I need for the day. . The bag has strong velcro and clips that hold the bag shut so nothing falls out, several sections and separate pockets for smaller items, it's perfect for my needs!! I would highly recommend this bag, the quality is outstanding!!

This bag is excellent. Way beyond my expectations. Durable and carry a load without making me feel like I am carrying a load.

This is my second bag I've purchased from Timbuk2. My first one lasted 12 years. I go to NYC twice a week and it got a ton of use. Highly recommend their product. C

I bought this bag in 2012 and have been using it daily for commuting to work. When traveling I use it as an additional carry on - filling it to the brim with a camera, books extra phone, power bank and a shaving kit. No issues with the quality of material or construction of the bag.

This is my second Timbuk2 messenger bag. I still have the first one and it has no issues. Timbuk2 is the only messenger bag I will buy in the future.

Great work bag. Everyone is so jealous of me. When I walk into a room, everyone stares at my bag in a good way, and I'm like "My eyes are up here!"

I can't say enough how much I love this bag. I go between 2 different sites seeing patients and the medium was just the right size to carry their records from building to building. Will definently buy again!

Great bag and it's the perfect size. The shipping details were not great. I received the bag about 12 days ago but I just received the shipping notice and confirmation today.

My first bag is 25+ and still going strong, my second is a daily user and has gone from "Man-purse?" To..."that is so cool". My son inquired about it, so I got one for him. The duffle bag has been my bikebag since it's inception...shoes, helmet, snacks, post ride gear. It's apart of what makes me BICYCLEBILL

TimBuk2 makes high quality products that last a long time (I used my last one every day for 11 years). Great design with plenty of pockets, and I appreciate the security of a waterproof bag. Colors are bright and vibrant and shoulder strap is comfortable on one shoulder or across the chest (even for females). Although I ordered the small, it was still a bit smaller than I anticipated - even when looking closely at the photo on the website - so pay attention to scale. Still big enough for what I need - with the exception that my water bottle is too tall.

I have wanted a Timbuk2 messenger for a long time and finally bought myself one. I am very glad i did. I love it. I am still finding compartments i didn't know were there!

I purchased the "small" size and it is perfect for my old 13 inch MacBook. It holds everything I need for the day. Is weather proof and comfortable to carry.

I can't rave enough. A smaller bag with an abundant interior and copious pockets, I'm in love! Makes carrying all my belongings a breeze and takes weight off of my back, compared to other bags. Could have a longer strap for when your bundled up but it still works perfectly!

I travel to hospital laboratories and needed to be organized with various paperwork and books. I went to the website, found what I was looking for and it was on sale. I bought it for myself for Christmas. I could hardly wait for it to arrive. I am so excited to have the bag, it is wonderful!
