Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Medium

I use this on the subway and It fits everything I need for my day. It has a great look and has lots of compartments for smaller items.

Being a graduate student I needed a bag that could go from the classroom to the office quickly and this is just the bag. It's lightweight and durable. Not to mention it's weather proof! The bag is a little stiff at first, which makes it difficult to open the buckles right away. However, once you use it a few times that goes away. Overall, this is the best bag I've bought from Timbuk2! (I own 3)

stuff with billfold, keys, snacks etc things you need in the day it has enough pockets for your phone pens your Daytimer will fit in it the changes that were made on the flap make it more desirable I can't say anything thing bad about the bags they wear great and you can tell by the workmanship that they are made to last

Everyday bag

I love this bag. I live in a small town and work at home, but just about everyday I need to get out of the house to see humans. This bag is PERFECT for either walking or biking to my favorite coffee shop du jour. It is comfortable and roomy! In fact, it's so roomy that I stuff more in it than I actually need (which, I suppose, gives me more of a workout when I'm walking those meager 2 miles). I am completely obsessed with my messenger and now find excuses to work out in the community even more than I used to. This was a GREAT buy. The stability strap for riding is wonderful too. I originally ordered a medium that I found on sale -- but that was too huge for my purposes (and I'm only 5'4"). Returned that and got a small in Desert Grass. I don't think I could happier about this purchase!

Great for everyday use. Easy, quick access to compartments. Comfortable and stylish. Inside lining is a bit susceptible to pen marks/stains ... but thats my own fault! Overall ... Great product. Highly recommended

I love the idea of the side zip pocket which can be accessed without opening the main Velcro compartment. The contraption for allowing one-handed adjustment of strap length is genius. Very comfortable and lightweight bag which magically goes with everything - a casual day out, to the gym and also to work. Have one and bought this as a gift. Will be looking forward to getting a few more in different colors.

Nice design. Perfect size for commuting. I'll never use my back back again to commute with. Comfortable even when stuffed with gear. Only comment ... I wish that the small compartment under the flap had access from both sides.

Loved this for overseas airplane travel.

Use it for my trips

I have only had the bag for 3 weeks but I have already used it to commute to work via bike and bus, travel on an airplane, and even took it on a hike where it handled very well. I was impressed with the water resistance, so far it seems fairly stain resistant (dog shook mud over it and it wiped clean easily). Comfortable strap that is easy to adjust to different lengths. We went on a 9 mile hike one day without access to a hiking backpack and the messenger bad was surprisingly comfortable and convenient for the hike. Not TSA friendly which would have been nice for traveling however it was not advertised as such. I would personally prefer more storage compartments however, again, it came exactly as described on the website.

I bought this bag when my kiddo was one and done with needing to carry around all the extra clothing and feeding supplies that go with younger babies. My Skip Hop changing pad fit perfectly in the laptop section, wipes and a couple diapers fit well in the front zip compartment, the bag clipped closed so my kiddo couldn't open it, and it fits a days worth of snacks and toys plus my wallet. Moreover, it doesn't look like a diaper bag! It takes trips to the park like a champ, cleans up nicely and is all around a great bag.

Bag is great, quality is awesome, top notch. The strap could be a little longer by 12 inches. This would lower the bag position on the body. Right now it lingers below the rib cage as opposed to lower of back if the strap is a bit longer. This is perfect for iPhone, iPad , and office/campus meeting trips.

Only real negative is that the strap adjuster isn't... adjustable. It only works if you wear it on your left shoulder. I really like to pack my bag, so it would be better for me if I could adjust it from either side so I could give that shoulder a break sometimes. That said, I can't imagine a practical way to do so without ruining the functionality so I can't be too negative about it. Doing so though would be amazing. < 3 Also, the pink available for custom bags is... disgusting. Dark pinks just don't look good. A light bright pink would look happier and much more attractive

I love my bag. I commute to work everyday and have to carry a lot. My bag is almost perfect. My wishes are a bit longer strap and more pockets on the inside. I have a lot of smaller items and would love to have more pockets to organize things. Other than that it is the best bag out there and I have tried ALOT!!! Hands down the best!!!! Can't wait to do a custom one just waiting for pocket options. I have already gotten several people to order a new bag its that good.

I was very worried that since I got the small size that it would be too small. I wanted the smallest bag while still being able to fit my computer in it. Turns out, the small version still fits my 15" MacBook Pro. I'm stoked, this bag does everything I want it to do. It has so many compartments; it looks good, and feels good to wear. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

My husband bought this for me as a Valentine's Day gift. I had been eyeing the bag for a while and he finally bought it for me. It is the small bag in grey with blue trim. I love the separate space for my Macbook Air. It makes it so much easier to deal with, especially when traveling. I do wish there was a zippered space or two in the middle of the bag. All of the zippered spaces are on the front of the bag. Unless the whole bag is full, it does cause the front to sag a little. Going up to the medium would probably fix this issue but that bag seemed too large for my normal uses of just traveling to and from campus with my laptop and basic contents. The big draw for me was that it is water proof and it has been a very wet (i.e., rain and snow) year.

It's a high quality product.

My day bag and lunch bag for gym and work

I love the color - All these compartments ate really useful I like that I can slip my computer in if I need it Love the water mesh slot. I've gotten a ton of compliments on it. 2 friends of mine are seriously considering getting one.

I use this for work and it is a great bag. It would be great if there was another compartment behind the bag. But that's just me.

Outstanding Bag and great value. I would love to see more types of inserts. The Snoop Camera insert is cool, but not everyone is a photographer. How about an insert for other types of uses. IT, office, etc. Something that can drop in to the different bags and enhance the function. Maybe even something that can be customized.

Bought this to travel my gear for teaching yoga classes. As a guy, this bag works well for me. Balances minimalist - roomy,.. hip - classic,.. attractive - not girly. Only wish it came with an insert to help it hold shape.

I needed a durable bag for a trip abroad, and ordered my bag on a recommendation from a friend. My only regret is that I should have ordered a size bigger (that's on me). The bag feels indestructible and lovely, perhaps like its owner. :-) I would purchase a bigger bag in a different color, if the good folks in SanFran premiere a different color palette in future options.

I work multiple jobs in an urban city, I also attend school. This bag has been an a godsend, helping a disorganized fellow like myself. The storage space is ideal for a busy day, deceptively roomy. Also does not stay bulky when minimally full. The multiple pockets help keep me organized. Weather proof, easy to clean, and versatile. This was a gift, and I will keep it forever.
