Customer Reviews Timbuk2 The Authority Pack DLX

I got this backpack for my husband as a gift. He loves it, he messaged more than once from his 3-week getaway. The functionality of this backpack was phenomenal! More pockets than he even needed! Well thought out and comfortable to wear. Room for all necessities, and then some. In fact, he carried a 13-inch laptop, an 11-inch iPad, a Kindle, and Bose headphones. And all charging accessories and other personal items. There are even good spots for a passport and a phone. We couldn't be more pleased and can't think of anything to change on this bag.

In a word: Awesome. It's very comfortable! I have back issues, and this backpack is incredible when I need to take my work laptop with me on the go. I'm at very durable and well made. So many other bags are leave much to be desired. The high quality is evident right from the start.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend & he loves it! Timbuk2 is a favorite brand of his, he still has a 2007 messenger bag from them!

I bought this for a gift for my partner and he loves it. The weatherproof-ness of the bag is doing wonders in rainy Seattle weather and for commuting back and forth for college life. The only downside is only one side pocket wished there was one more, one for each side, so that he could keep his water bottle and umbrella.

This is my everyday work backpack and it works great! It holds all of my items that I need to bring with me when traveling as well. It seems very durable and I like the warranty.

The organization on this pack is great. I was very worried that I'd not get the same versatility from it that I get from my Timbuk2 messenger bag, but I do. My only real complaint is that the water bottle holder is VERY SMALL and VERY TIGHT. I would also like a pocket that is not padded or mesh where I could store charging cables, because as we all know in the modern world, even with everything in USB-C, you still need lots of cables.

I use this bag for college and intend to use it in the future for travel and work. I love the space I have without it feeling too bulky, and I can tell it is very well made.

This is my 3rd Timbuk2 bag, my first backpack. My new MacBook Air 15" fits perfectly. The bag is sleek, yet holds everything I need for a day in my office. Well-made at a reasonable price. I love mine.

Got this for my brother for Christmas. He works in tech and was super impressed with the level of padding/security for his laptop and loves all the pockets. Nothing bad to say!

Great backpack for work! Very comfortable wear and efficient with carrying many items, including a laptop.

I travel for work and like to travel light while being able to bring my computer set up with me. 16" MacBook Pro comfortably fits with extra room. I love the quality of all the materials especially the back support and straps. Luggage pass through is super clutch. I haven't found purpose for the 2 clips at the bottom of the bag personally but looks good aesthetically!

I love this backpack, I use it mainly for work. It's very durable and a lot fits in it. All the different pockets allows for good organizing. Great product!

This is my work bag and it has great support for my heavy laptop. Great quality and many pockets.

This was a gift for my son, who is a professional musican/composer and often has to carry a lot of equipment for various gigs. He is particular about his backpacks and also hard on them - and he absolutely loves this one. Thank you for making me look like a great mom!

This is my second backpack. They quality and durability are unmatched!

Sleek design. Comfortable. Excited to use for work.

My son has been looking for the perfect backpack to carry for work....this is it! It is stylish and understated with enough room for a couple of laptops and stuff he needs everyday. I think he will be pleased

I bought this backpack for myself a few months ago and I like it so much I just bought another one for my son. He also loves it. It fits everything that he needs yet it is compact and looks great! Thank you!

This is the most robust bag I've ever owned. It's made with quality materials and doesn't lose its shape. The padding is substantial. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. You truly get what you pay for.

Bought this for my son for work. It is sleek and lightweight yet surprisingly roomy. I looked for a long time and at many much more expensive bags-this is by far the best and at a fantastic price point.

Bought as gift for my spouse who enjoys the many features this pack offers. As a frequent traveler, this pack offers enough flexibility with several storage compartments to keep work/personal equipment separate while also protected. Easy access to H2O bottle via side pocket, a necessity for travel. Fits easily under airline seat, padded shoulder straps and back for long haul trips w/connections, etc. Appears well made and durable-time will tell.

Bought this as a work backpack, not a travel backpack. It's a great backpack, but I am not sure I bought it for the right purpose. It could use more pockets and zipped interior sections for work gear. But again, I think that was an error in buying the wrong gear for the use, not in the backpack itself.

Very good quality. Perfect size. Lots of pockets. Love it

After losing assigned desks at the office I started toting around a lot more and my older bag just didn't have enough compartments. This bag has the perfect amount of space and organization while remaining slim. The only downsides in my opinion are 1) water bottle pocket is very slim, but does fit my slimmer hydro flask fine 2) very minor but if you zip the bag ending on the water bottle side, it can be a bit of a pain to unzip - but easily solved by zipping the other way. Overall, still a five star backpack that seems like it will last a long time!

I decided to switch from my messenger bag to this, mainly so I could have more pockets and places to easily put things without having to dig through everything to get to stuff. It's been working pretty well, satisfied with my purchase.
