Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable Backpack

Travel mostly. I like the carry handle. Easy access to pockets.

This bag was a perfect fit for my needs. Exactly as described and shown on the website. Awesome design. I love how much it can hold while maintaining such a slim profile!

Upgraded from an older Division laptop backpack and love the extra space. It's a high-quality backpack that's super functional. I only wish they included the attached clip for keys.

Fantastic bag for travel. It's a perfect combination between briefcase and backpack. It turns sideways to access a lot of the compartments you need, but then you can throw it over your back and carry it like a backpack.

In love with this backpack! Been using it daily for a couple of years now and it's still perfect. Fits my laptop, change of clothes, books, wallet, water bottle, sunglasses, chargers, makeup bag... AND it's the perfect size for personal item when flying! Love that it's expandable, too. My brother bought one after borrowing mine!

Bought the Never Check Expandable Backpack for my week trip to France. I was bringing a carry-on but still needed something that would allow me to pack some extra clothes and a pair of shoes, along with all my work necessities since I'll be working remote. This bag offered that and much more. Highly recommend.

Best backpack I have ever had. It's a workhorse to carry a bunch of stuff while traveling and easily coverts to a day pack for local travel. Great security pockets for money, wallets and passports. Some reviews comment that it is inconvenient to undo the straps but I did not find this to be an issue. I also use it to carry my camera gear when I don't want to bring all my gear. Comfortable to wear and cool on your back. It's also the perfect size for my wife. If your looking for a comfortable, functional and good looking travel backpack, this is it!

I've owned this backpack for over 5 years and it still looks brand new. It's traveled around the world with me, literally, multiple times and it has always fit under the airline seat or overhead bin without taking up much room. I use it as my work bag as well and it fits everything I need with ease. I love Timbuk2 and all of their products are built to last, including this backpack.

So far this bag has been solid. Not too big and not too small. Still trying to figure out my go to pockets for my stuff, but all in all, I am happy

I use the never check expandable backpack for traveling with my kids. I have to carry a lot of stuff but I wanted a backpack that looked good but had a lot of space. The number one things I like about the backpack is it's expandable. So when I don't need the extra room I can make it slimmer. The number two thing I like about it is the bottle carrier on the outside. What I would improve on the backpack is a larger bottle carrier and the zipper strings on the top netted pocket sometimes get caught in the main zipper when closing. I would also add a carabiner loop on the side or front.

I needed a new carry on pack after using my last one for 10 years. I'm very particular about my travel bags and I'm happy to say this one passes muster! It took a minute to adjust to the clips on the front of the bag and also to locate the main pocket zipper, but once I got the hang of it it was no problem at all. It's a great lightweight, durable bag with lots of pockets and useful storage space.

I really like wearing this backpack to work. I keep all the essentials (e.g., wallet, phone, keys) in the front pocket.

I recently purchased the Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable Backpack for a business trip and was eager to see how it would perform. After using it on a cross-country flight, I can confidently say that this backpack has exceeded my expectations in several key areas: functionality, comfort, and design. Functionality The Never Check Expandable Backpack lives up to its name in terms of functionality. The expandable feature is a game-changer, allowing the bag to shift from a sleek daypack to a spacious travel companion. When fully expanded, it provided ample space for my clothes, a pair of shoes, and essential toiletries for a three-day trip. The organization inside the bag is exceptional. It has multiple compartments, including a padded laptop sleeve that securely fits my 15-inch laptop, which is a crucial feature for any business traveler. The front compartment has well-thought-out pockets and slots for smaller items like my passport, pens, and a notebook, making them easily accessible. There's also a hidden side pocket that's perfect for storing valuables like a wallet or phone, providing an extra layer of security. Comfort Carrying the Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable Backpack was surprisingly comfortable. The padded shoulder straps are well-cushioned and adjustable, distributing the weight evenly across my shoulders. Even when fully loaded, the backpack felt balanced and didn't strain my back, thanks to its ergonomic design. The back panel is also padded and ventilated, preventing any discomfort or sweat build-up during long walks through the airport. One of the standout features is the luggage pass-through, which allowed me to securely attach the backpack to my rolling suitcase. This made navigating the airport a breeze and kept my hands free for handling tickets and other travel necessities. Design Aesthetically, the backpack strikes a perfect balance between professional and casual. Its sleek black color and minimalist design make it suitable for both business and

Great size - replacing a book bag I used to travel with. Strong, big, but not too big, pockets that make sense.

Oh yeah! Let me tell you something, brother! The Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable Backpack is the heavyweight champion of backpacks, dig it? This bad boy's got the power, the style, and the durability to crush the competition. It's got compartments and zippers for days, snapping into action faster than a flying elbow from the top rope! You can expand it, compress it, and carry all your essentials without breaking a sweat, oh yeah! So if you want a backpack that's as tough and versatile as the Macho Man himself, you better grab this bag and step into the ring of life with confidence, yeah!

Husband loves it. Very roomy. Expandable feature is helpful.

This really is a great backpack. It's pricey, but honestly, I don't think I'll ever need to buy another... unless they make some suggested improvements - see below :) It's shocking how much you can fit in it without it feeling overstuffed and bulky and as someone who always seems to have back and shoulder pain, carrying this around for hours is actually comfortable compared to any other bag I've had. Dear product team: These three slight improvements would make this bag perfect. Thank you for your consideration. Add a luggage pass-through for attaching to your wheelie suitcase, a touch larger slot for water bottles or an adjustable strap, and add a ring somewhere inside so I can latch my keys easily.

This backpack is for traveling, and I love the space and all the pockets. I can keep everything organized!

Fantastic backpack! Comfortable, spacious, attractive. Only thing I would add is a key ring, but otherwise perfect.

I purchased this as a replacement for a carryon backpack. Wanted something that was comfortable and not too bulky with plenty of pockets to organize my essential travel items that I need quick access to: Passport, phone, wallet, computer, charger/cords, book etc. and still have room for a light jacket.

I bought this bag to use for traveling, and it definitely excels! The size is perfectly balanced between having enough space while still fitting under an airline seat. The pockets initially seemed not well thought out, but after using the bag a couple of times, I found them to be ingenious! The handles are well designed, but the water bottle holder could be larger, and I just don't understand the gussets restricting the bag from fully opening like a clamshell design, as it really should. If it did, the bag would be perfect. Despite that, this is the best travel bag I've ever owned!

Best backpack design yet. versatility is paramount, since they give you options on which orientation to hold it at. Portrait or Landscape. The amount of pockets is perfect and they are all easily accessible, but also safe, keeping everything in. The method with which the main section opens is perfect. Acting in a V formation to allow you to keep everything in in the event the bag is left open when being carried around. Also has an expansion option zipper. The options are endlesss. I used them all just going to and from work and rooms within the house. Materials are great as always, workmanship second to none. I have NOTHING bad to say about this bag. If you need a backpack for whatever reason, this one should be in your inventory.

great for day to day, travel, work...I love this backpack! the compartments make sense and the bag keeps me organized. this is the only backpack you need!

Great back pack for school both high school and college. Fits everything well and has lots of storage.

They're not joking! This is the best bag. Bought it to go on a cruise and hike around Caribbean islands, and for future work travel. Fits plenty, very well designed, perfect for a few days of travel. Literally the best carry on because it's so slim. How does it fit this much yet is half the size of my other bags?? Comfortable and balances weight very nicely, even on my 5' 3" frame. Wish it came in other colors!
