Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Classic Messenger - Large

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 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!

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.

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!"

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.

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!

For work

Perfect for school. So many pockets for organization. Love the look. Super durable and water proof. Great for rainy Hawaiian days.

I first bought the classic messenger in small. Love it. Can carry a small laptop and my coffee travel carafe, umbrella, snacks, plus wallet, phone, Moleskine, gloves, etc. Then bought an extra small to use as more of a purse or smaller bag when traveling -- still holds on Ipad or Kindle at the XSmall size. Now have purchased a medium bag which seems HUGE after the first two - but I can carry a full lunch (Bento Box or bag), my water bottle, my coffee carafe, a clean set of scrubs, and all the other stuff. Strap pad makes it super comfortable and it's a hands-free walk with the strap cinched cross-body.

This is such a simple, yet useful bag. I have a full time job, and like to travel a bunch on the weekends, and this is the perfect bag for everything. Even a small picnic in the park. I would definitely buy this product again and will stay loyal to Timbuk2. Their customer service is always amazing as usual.

Got the mini for myself. Bought it on sale and I'm so glad I did! It's beautiful and functional. Also appears very sturdy. Love this company. Thank you!

This is my new daily driver and I love it. Colors are fun, but most importantly it's super functional for toting around all the stuff I need and the stuff I think I need. Good size, lots of different pockets and it's water proof!

My son requested this messenger bag as a Christmas gift.

A nice bag with lots of pockets to keep everything organized. I've only had it for a couple weeks but it seems to be really well-made and sturdy. It's also quite comfortable to carry. Thumbs up.
