Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable Backpack

I want a backpack with good organization, ability to stand on its own, lightweight and comfortable. Man did this bag impress! I was able to better organize items from my old everyday bag but already see this bag lasting me the same (11 years) as the last bag or longer. I love the separate laptop sleeve, the front access and the giant central compartment. I use to have to choose what I was taking, now I can take everything and a small kitchen sink all while not feeling any discomfort.

Just took my first international trip with this bag and was very pleased. Held all my stuff including my ridiculously heavy mobile workstation. It wa comfortable to wear and carry and somehow, with the heavy-duty components, it just feels solid. Highly recommended!

It has a compartment for everything and holds so much!

Use for work and travel. Fits the bill, thoughtfully made. Sturdy. I am a lifelong Timbuk2 owner.

This bag has so much storage capacity despite it's relatively compact size, I'm loving it so far. The manufacturing quality is great, the back cushioning is much more robust than regular backpacks similar to this. The backpack remains sturdy even when it's fully packed which, I personally, find highly appealing.

Carries my work, lunch and workout gear to work. Just the right size and tons of compartments. Quality material and zippers. Highly recommend.

I've had this backpack for over four years. It has been my work, study and overseas travel essential. The compartments are designed well for easy access, internal visibility, and all-round functionality. Sturdy, and well made, it still looks new after all the commuting. That's why I am back to look at the rest of your product range.

I mostly use this for hauling a lunch and laptop and whatever else to work. Love the handles going around the bag. I like that you can expand it for days that I want to bring bike clothes for a ride after work or potentially for travel. It's good sized but not overly big. High quality materials and construction. 10/10.

Tons of space. Comfortable to wear. Well built. This is the bag I bring to all my jobs, I carry my whole business in it. It's awesome.

Lots of storage and built with quality.

I bought 2 of these as Christmas gifts for students studying abroad. They love it! Everything just works and it is not bulky, very stylish!

Made great. Expensive but worth it.

I've had this bag for probably 4+ years and it is incredible. I've flown with it, gone on week long trips with just this, and it even works pretty nicely as a disc golf bag! Thankful I got the blue interior version for around $100 new. It has hardly any sign of wear, and is the most versatile bag I've seen. Glad I spent a long time researching- this is so worth it.

Great pack. Durable. Fits all essentials for commute and short trips.

Great backpack for business commuting. Holds everything safely and is well balanced for comfort.

Great bag for work travel and bringing to the office. A few minor suggestions for improvement: include a key leash, add a passport pocket on the back side of the back pack, add a strap to attach it to rolling luggage to make it easier for airport travel

Love the never-check expandable backpack. Fits my everyday needs. Only critique would be making sure all stitching are cleaned, noticed several protruding from the zipper lines and pull straps.

Been rocking an OR waterproof backpack for many years now. It was time to upgrade to something just as durable and dependable but with a little more geared towards work and travel. I couldn't have picked a better option! It has checked all the boxes. I have two trips planned next month and I have been pleasantly surprised how well designed the organization is and I am looking forward to putting it to use while on the road. Keep up the good work Timbuk2. I am happy to add your name to one of my go to brands and a product I have already recommended to others.

While my first bag was great, I was looking for a little more space. This bag not only met that requirement but has a better weight distribution in nearly the same size. I have already had fellow travelers ask about this bag.

I've bought this one as replacement for my privious backpack I used for more than 9 years and very satisfied. This one has unique design. Many small compartments allow me to rearrange things completely and it was better. There was incompatibility issue with laptop that previous one could handle. I've found 15.6' laptop(2 of them, personal and for job) could be easily put inside. Way it's open allow to get them out easily as well. I reconsidered my opinion regarding side compartment for laptop and believe that more comfortable to put/get laptops from main compartment. Still keep using side one for tablet with rubber cover. There left a lot of space so I bought organizer to put small items in one place. Big weight isn't 'issue' anymore, so I could feel comfortable much longer.

Finally gave in and snagged myself the Never Check Expandable Backpack, and let me just say, it's even better than I imagined. Been hauling it to work everyday for the past month, and it's done wonders organizing my essentials with its ample carry capacity and the way it neatly fits in compact spaces is just incredible. This bag is boasting grade-A quality from the zippers to the fabric - feels like it's made to last. Can't help but look forward to taking it along on my upcoming travels.

Bought this to retire a ten-year old backpack. This Never Check is an impressive replacement - full of new surprises and helping me refresh, sort, and prioritize what to bring a long on trips. I like the protection and compactness. The zippers and stitching are built to last. The only thing missing for me is a loop deep inside to park my keys (house, car) when out on the road. My preference - not enough to cost stars on the review. This is a top-notch bag.

This backpack is PERFECT for traveling abroad! It has 3 areasone for iPad/laptop, one regular, and one with pockets. The pocket part is made the perfect size for passports, wallets, sunglasses etc with easy access. I ALWAYS knew exactly where my passports were. And it's expandable for adding extras.

finally I have a laptop bag and weekend travel bag in one. Wish there were more color options, but the design is awesome. And you know you guys are victims of your own quality workmanship... I mean I still use my laptop messenger bag purchased in 2005. I probably would have bought another one if one first didn't hold up so well....

I use this backpack for school supplies and art materials, and it's wonderful in every aspect. Perfect size with room to spare, shape fits in small spaces, pockets are good for organization, and the material is of the highest quality. Would definitely buy again.
