Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Medium

This is bag number 3 of this style that lives in my household. We love the upgrades that the 2014 classic has! This on is for my college student who uses his bags for just about everything. Whether it's a weekend trip home or a plane ride across the country or even commuting by bike, he uses this bag more then any other. It seems to take the abuse and keeps on going. Oh, and it rains here a lot, so it's nice to have a bag that is reliably dry inside. Only one downside we have noticed in the normal use is that the coated canvas fabrics (they have a shiney plastic sheen to them) don't seem to hold up quite as well as nylon or regular canvas. I think he is going to send his old one back and see about replacement. He seems to like having two of these to use.

Our 10 yr. old grandson initially thought the bag was too big for him but was thrilled when "everything fit". He was so pleased that there were compartments for the supplies he carries to art classes. The bag has softened up a bit with all the use.

not only is the bag great, but timbuk2 has the best customer service!! Highly recommend!!

First time going to Disney World without a stroller and needed a bag that would hold water bottles,snacks, and everything else needed for five kids in DW.This bag holds everything and is very comfortable.

I use this everyday for my commute. Enough room without being too bulky. I wanted something that was durable but still had cute style options.

I replaced a larger Timbuk2 Classic Messenger bag with this one. The larger bag is fine but was larger than I needed and I put too much stuff in it. This bag is great for commuting to work. I holds my tablet, phone, wallet, etc. and a book and note pad which is all I need to carry. In this case smaller is better.

As a conceal carry licensee I have been looking for a bag that didn't scream "shoot me first" and didn't look like I was paramilitary. Having had great experiences with Timbuk2 in the past, I searched around for a bag that would suit. This one came up on sale and fits my needs perfectly. If it wears like the other Timbuk2 products that I have (2 messenger bags, purse for my wife, handlebar bag, two cellphone cases, etc.) I expect many years of great service. I would recommend this bag to anyone needing a small bag to carry incidentals on their daily rounds.

I wanted a better airplane travel bag and I have found it. It also works as a diaper bag and a Nahe for day trips. Had lots of room and is fun to wear. Great bag.

I love Timbuktu2 bags. I needed a new purse that could hold more and I found it. This bag is Awesome and has more room in it than I thought it would.

My favorite bag, fits my ipad, notepad, snacks, and my 8oz water bottle.

Great for school and errands. Thought it was a tad expensive but I'm sure it will last for years to come! Love the straps on the bottom to make it smaller. But when I'm not carrying too much they just dangle in the wind like spaghetti. Wish there was a way to make them just a bit shorter. Other than that, awesome!

This is an awesome bag. I am an occupational therapist and work in various settings so I have to carry a clip board with me everywhere and this bag fit the clip board, stethoscope, pens, wallet, and keys leaving extra room for much more. I have also use it as my carry on to Aruba and my husband love it and was carrying it everywhere lols. I will get him one for Christmas in a medium since he is 5'10/5'11. My bag is a small and I'm 5'0 tall so it's a little big for me but I need the space for all my work equipment. I also gotten my cousin one as gift and she loves it!

Would love to see the napolian compartment accessible from both sides or make a left and right hand option

I love that it is made with recycled materials. I wish the water bottle holders were a little bit more stretchy. I can fit my 40oz KleenKanteen bottle in one of the bottle pockets, but just barely. Takes a lot of effort so i usually just leave it in the large main compartment. I love this bag though! I love/have loved All timbuk2 products i have owned.

I love my new bag.. Very lightweight.. I got the xsmall.. And i can fit all my stuff that i need to put.. My little bag works great forwork.. Very durable material and very comfortable strap..

I love the attention to detail of this product

I love this bag but I wish there was an outside pocket in the back. Very durable, I don't envision this falling apart ever.

I purchased the bag in size S and loved everything about it except the lack of compartments because I got a lot of small items I need to carry around. After adding an organizer bag inside the bag became perfect!

I have had my bag for 14 years and it is still as good as new

Use it bring my laptop and lunch to work... it's as waterproof a bag as you will ever find. Adjustable strap and key pocket actually are useful and make life easier. Lots of areas to hook on reflectors, carry handles, etc. Worth every penny.

Great grab and go bag. Easy access to gear, and comfortably fits my gear. The easily adjustable strap makes life groovy when I'm on the go.

Nice bag. I take this every where. It survived 2 weeks in Italy in the rain. Good for the bicycle. Works nice for the TSA also. Easy to get things in/out of the bag. Do not have to dig through zippers and pockets and folders. The red color is nice. Easy to locate and hard to loose.

I was skeptical of how awesome a bag could really be when I first stumbled upon the classic messenger. I have since fallen in love with my large bag so much so, that I found I needed another in different color options! While there aren't quite as many pockets as I'm used to, I still love the versatility and functionality of the bag. I am a teacher and this is perfect for carrying textbooks, curriculum materials, graded papers, a laptop and a lunchbox. The bag does all this while somehow remaining the most comfortable bag to carry. I would recommend this bag without reservation. It is SO WORTH IT!!

My messenger bag arrived after only 5 days from the other end of the world and since then I have been using it all the time, carrying around half of my life everyday to school, office, etc... A great bag for students who have to carry a lot of books, laptop, etc. with them. Although Im a rather short girl and always tend to overpack my bags, the shoulder strap is so great that I can hardly feel any of the weight. This is my first Timbuk2 product but I am still very satisfied with the product and the customer service. I read several comments before purchasing it and they were also there to help me if I had any questions.

This bag is extremely well designed and I'm loving it!
