Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Large

I purchased this for my boyfriend to use at work because he had been begging for it and he absolutely loves it! I had to give it to him to use before Christmas because he couldn't wait. He loves that it's water resistant, sturdy and has a lot of different size storage pockets!

My daughter is using this bag as a missionary for our church, and she'll be taking it to Japan. She needs it to have lots of pockets for various items like a phone, notebook, pens, etc. Yet she also needs it to be lightweight and portable for taking on a bicycle. This bag is perfect! Thank you.

This messenger bag is excellent! it's made from durable waterproof material and the compartments are perfect size for my iPad, water bottle and folder. The small pockets are good for chargers, pens and keys. It's light weight and the adjustable strap comes in handy. Good purchase if you're looking for something sustainable and high quality. I'm getting a lot of compliments at work.

I've been using TIMBUK2 for over 10 years now and it's the best. The fabric is durable and the design is good. It's the XS size of the classic messenger, but it's just the right size for a size you won't find anywhere else. Purchasing from Japan may be a high hurdle, but it is safe because you can track it after it is shipped. I would like to purchase again.

This is perfect! My husband was looking for the perfect size bag to hold a water bottle, his sunglass case, wallet, earbuds, passport. He is very happy with the function, and the colors/design look great! Not too big, and not too small, and very cool looking!

I've only used it for a week but love it so far! Holds a ton of papers and keeps them dry. Was worried that the Medium wouldn't be big enough, but it is a great size.

I love my new small green messenger bag. It is very well made with just the right size and number of compartments. It's my new favorite bag to carry everywhere. I'm sure I will shop for more bags from Timbuktu 2 very soon.

I use this everyday and it is AMAZING

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. It is a replacement of sorts for his 10 year old bag. The original is also a Timbuk2 messanger bag that was gifted to him while he was still in high school. He is planning on sending in the original bag to have it refreshed after the incredible years of good service he got out of it. The only true issue he has is the interior lining is pulling away from the exterior fabric of the bag. But it has been such a great tool that he needed a new one and will not part with the original. Hardworking durable products.

I have searched the globe, from cheap bags mad by prison labor in China, to hightech bags made by astrophysicists in Livermore Lab, from there to Timbuk2, and my small classic bag is the best! Durable fabric, excellent organization, and a comfortable strap, this bag can hold my passport and essential travel docs, tablet, packaway jacket, water bottle, snacks and lunch... and be small enough for commuting and travel. I added an accessory to hold my cellphone on the strap, and my quest fir perfection is over!

Great product! Versatile and looks solid (durability)! So far so good!

My mom saw my 12 year old Timbuk2 bag a few weeks ago and announced she wanted one for Christmas. It's a great bag and looks wonderful. Purchase was easy and it shipped right on time

This is a great bag! I needed something for my walk to work with enough room for my lunch, shoes, laptop and such. It's just the right size, love all the pockets for keys, phone, badge. It's comfortable to wear!

I used another brand messenger bag for many years and got great service from it. I was looking a lot for a replacement that could measure up, but wasn't convinced by anything I saw. Finally settled on the Timbuk2 Eco Black Small. Very happy with it after several months. I use it every day, to work, and to keep everyday stuff together. Files, books, laptop, lunch, water bottle, keys, gloves, wallet, umbrella, all kinds of misc. stuff. It has the right size big compartment and small pockets. It's stiff enough to stand open for easy access. Flap keeps things dry in rain. Carries well, though a top handle would be nice. Strap is comfortable and strong. Very happy I found this bag. Highly recommend.

I purchased this for my son to use at college. Very well made. Very sturdy.

I use this bag for work and to transport my laptop. Hands down the best bags you can buy. This is my second purchase from them, I bought one for my wife and was envious so I had to get my own.

Purchased the Small bag in Nautical and I'm happy that my Macbook Pro 2021 14in laptop fits nicely in the laptop sleeve with a case on it. My main reason for purchasing was to have a nicer bag to carry my work laptop back and forth, plus some extra room for papers/accessories/anything i need for the daily commute. The design is great, and I'm very happy with it so far. I'm glad I went with the small size because it's just the right size for what I needed. The color is a nice shade of navy. I also purchased the silencer straps and they were a great addition.

Walking to work is great. A backpack is helpful. Taking a Vespa scooter to work is great AND fun. But the small backpack didn't cut it. Filled with a laptop, multiple notepads, files and devices, the backpack became a nightmare. Especially on the bike. Thank you Timbuk2 for creating a smart sized bag to hold everything I need AND it fits in the bike seat. But why stow it when you can sling it over your shoulder? Comfortable, roomy and smart. I'd buy it again and give it as a gift. The color and reflective touches help with scooter visibility and horizontal storage makes so much sense!

Very practical and comfortable bag. Great for work and travel. Unfortunately destroyed by my dachshound puppy. Going to order a new one.

I purchased this bag for work & love that it is exactly what I needed in a bag.

Great for walking around town or through the airport. I'm able to keep my iPad and MacBook Air comfortable inside without feeling to much weight. If you are tiered of hauling around a backpack this is the bag for you

Finally retired my leather briefcase after 40 years. Time to update, and this bag was the perfect solution. Comfortable, sturdy, relatively light and allows me to ride my bike when needed. Bonus was the esthetics of the color selections.

My first bag from T2. This is a perfect bag if all you are looking for is a good quality messenger bag with tonnes of pockets for staying organized. It looks small it almost fit everything that I ever wanted it to fit in. I use it for my daily commute to work fits my laptop 14", mouse, headphones, notebook, water bottle, and a small umbrella. Yes, it has a net pocket for a water bottle and a small pocket to fit in an umbrella. It also has a hidden pocket that you can access without opening the bag at all, so cool. The material is water-resistant and can withstand a good amount of drizzle.

It's good.

This is a very nice bag. My current job involves inside office work with outside IT/Networking tasks. I needed an over-the-shoulder bag since I have a backpack tool bag and needed a way to carry my laptop. Most of the outside work is in cold, snowy conditions, and this bag has kept everything dry and has ample space for cables and additional equipment that needs to be transported. This bag is now my permanent laptop bag. Glad I made this purchase!
