Customer Reviews Timbuk2 Never Check Expandable Backpack

Great for everyday work love the flexibility on my back or use as a briefcase, bought two one for my wife she lives it yoo

This backpack is super roomy and convenient. I'll be using it for a mission trip to Nepal in February. I know it won't let me down!

Use this for the gym and for one bag travel. Super nice quality, tons of space. Very comfortable when it's full

I bought this pack as a carry on pack when I travel to Montreal, New York, Boston, New Jersey then to Japan. The pack is awesome, tons of secured pockets and a padded large pocket for my iPad or laptop (haven't decided which to bring). Straps are comfortable fully loaded and alll the adjustments you could want.

I was worried about purchasing this bag without seeing it in person first. I was looking something slightly smaller than my 30L that mimicked my ebag organization with some structure. This bag is my new EDC for work and more!

Great travel bag. Traveled throughout Europe, in and out of airports and train stations. Easy access to laptop. Very secure for passports, money and everything else. Did a lot of research on bags and definitely glad I stuck with this one.

By far the best backpack I have ever own. Well made, functional. Customer service was great.

I bought this prior to a trip to Sydney for the first time. I managed to fit everything I needed and bring things back for a two and a half week trip using only this bag and a carry on! Super durable construction, nice to use as a bag to bring to the office as well. I'm not the biggest fan of the front pocket, but I find all backpacks are awkward in that way. The hidden away zipper pulls and cold metal parts give it a super premium feel. Shipping was extremely fast too, cannot recommend enough!

Great travel bag. High capacity, perfect fit for fitting under the seat or overhead between larger items. I do find that I only use it for travel, rather than everyday. As it feels a bit bulky for everyday. The pockets and sleeves are well thought out. Very happy with the purchase.

This is my daily commuter backpack. I also use it for business travel. I love that it fits everything that I need so perfectly!!!! This is my 4th Timbuk2 purchase and all are still in great shape!!!! I rotate through all of them lol.

Have been using for close to 3 years now - easily hands down the best backpack I ever had. Sufficient space, functions, durability and user friendly to cater to a range of needs. Looks easy on the eyes as well. Highly recommend it.

Been using this bag for 2 years. I'll about to buy a second one for my wife. I have dozens of bags of different sizes and function, but this is the only one I use 95% of the time. I'm currently pushing 2 months on the road nonstop and this is all I carry. It's great, understated, and still looks new. I'm an industrial designer, and have designed signature bags for some household names in the sports world. So I've done my homework. Great bag.

So far so good! It’s a well made bag, I was kinda unsure about it but I really like it a lot. There’s a lot of functionality to it. If you have 2 laptops or one and a few books or shoes or clothes and if you have hard drives there’s a place for them or flash drives. It’s a good bag for alot of uses.

I have owned many Timbuk2 products over the last decade. And when I say many I mean well over 20 bags and visited their stores in SF, NYC, and Chicago. Suffice to say I am a fan. This bag is unbeatable. This is genuinely my forever bag now. It's been a solid three years with it and there is not a circumstance where it has not been amazing. If it rips or degrades (doubtful) then I will either get it fixed or replaced with the same exact bag. I may buy a second one to store away just in case this one has an issue in 10 or 20 years.

This is my second Timbuk2 and I'm just as impressed. Solid construction, thoughtful layout and some killer features make this thing my go to bag for traveling. Thanks Timbuk2 and Dfinity.

The front metal hooks hold the pocket flap in place when the zipper is open; for tote bag style accessibility.

The bag was a replacement for a discontinued item. They stepped up and provided this and it is a great bag, equivalent to the original one they discontinued. Makes it easy to travel and hold alot of stuff.

All around GREAT travel bag! Would highly recommend!!!!

I've bought the backpack mainly for short business trips, because my former backpack as way too small and not very professional looking. After doing some trips last year with the Never-Check, I can say, that I get all the necessary stuff for 2- 3 days in there (including my quite bulky work-laptop). It is so roomy already, even without using the expendable-feature! Also, it is looking very elegant and stylish, so that I have no concerns bringing it to conferences or business meetings. I love the ton of different pockets, though I haven't yet found a definitve system for me what goes where. ;-) So, all in all, the backpack has everything I was looking for and love it! < 3

This is my second NCEB and it might perfect. The material is top-quality, the pockets are the perfect size, the adjustable straps are comfortable and with the expansion option, I can take my devices (12.9 iPad Pro in leather case) and MacBook in the same bag with room for clothes and my folders. My black and ink bag is very attractive and I just got the all-black one to take on trips also, with one as computer bag and the other as overnight bag, as one can go under the seat and the other in the overhead compartment easily.

I use this bag for weekend (up to 4 days!) trips. I recently used it for a two week trip to Africa (as a carry-on, in addition to a duffel bag that was checked in). This is a great bag for travel. The outer flat pockets are extremely efficient for putting your passport and travel documents (visa, airline tickets, ground travel passes), as well as eye mask (for plane) and other assorted small items. I used 3 travel cubes for the main compartment. I used this bag to stow overnight items when we were traveling and staying in hotels for only one or two nights. I packed clothes, night clothes, toiletries and other items needed for one, two or three days. It allowed me to simply and safely carry stuff for a couple of days without ever having to open my other larger bag. The main compartment is generous and easily stored my stuff, without having to expand. And when traveling home (with layovers, going through three airports), it was easy to stow in the plane and carry around in the airports. I highly recommend this bag for travel!

Could not be happier with this purchase. Such a high quality and well thought through backpack. I feel secure and balanced when using this backpack to move throughout the city and love its expandable feature for longer trips. Thanks Team TB2!

I purchase this for everyday use and a recent flight. Is is perfect. I love how it feels on my back. There are plenty of pockets and plenty of space. I was bummed that my laptop did not fit in the back zipper part which would have made it even more easy for travel but I just put it inside the bag. No biggie. I have a HP for work however my personal 15" MacBook did fit in the back zipper. If I were to change anything it would be to make that back zipper a lighter longer to accommodate a larger laptop. I also would add one more small zip pocket at the top near the carrying handle to put my keys and phone in. There is a side zip on the front of the bag for that but I would prefer one at the top. Excellent material. Happy with my purchase.

I take frequent trips and this bag is awesome! The back pocket does fit a 15 inch macbook pro, BUT it will not fit well if the macbook pro is in a sleeve. I use the back easy access pocket for my ipad pro which I can slip in and out of easily on plane rides! Also there is a side pocket for water bottles, and what's nice is that this does not get worn out and lose its elasticity like many other backpacks!

Fantastic backpack that has gone beyond my anticipation of what a back pack could offer. Its stylish and most importantly, its functional. Would buy again and recommend!
