Customer Reviews Timbuk2 The Authority Pack DLX

Bought this backpack for my husband who works in tech. It is perfect for his commute and we love how secure it makes his laptop feel.

I have used this bag traveling for 3 years now. It goes under the airplane seat and gets kicked around by my own feet. I bring it on site into extremely dirty environments. I like the many open pockets, they hold items well. There is also one large zippered pocket. Does not have a waist strap. Not a huge deal, but would be nice at times.

Very comfortable. It feels much lighter than my messenger bag even though I am carrying the same load (MBP 16" laptop, iPad and headset). Like how I can use different pockets to put stuff. Repurposed the bottle holder section for my umbrella.

Great Durable bag!

Great for traveling with a lap top and a lot of room for other things too!. Laptop iPad wallet other electronics etc. and then some fit in this. Water bottle holder works just fine (I had read some contrary reviews on the water bottle mine is fine ..just maybe not the super large sized ones)

I use this for work and its great.

I needed a bag for work, something fairly compact, light weight, plenty of pockets and can protect my electronics very well. Found this bag and it has to be my favorite and checks off all my required boxes and some. Very stylish also and I get plenty of compliments. I have even gotten others to get ready to purchase one and show them other Timbuk2 bags. Keep it up!!

I use my bad to work, travel and to carry my laptop and tablet every where. Amazing bag. I recommend it. Good quality and worth the price.

I love this backpack so much and I want to buy a new one since I've had my current one for about 4 years, but mine has this odd holographic like fabric on the top of the front, and the middle of the straps, but I can't find anything like this, and I just want to know if this was a one time or limited time thing?

I needed a cheaper alternative from Tumi. This bag is so stylish and well crafted. I use it for work and look forward to traveling with at the end of the month.

I am a medical student who needs a backpack that can carry my computer and my supplies to the hospital and to conferences that is sleek and professional-looking. This bag is the best of both worlds of function and fashion.

It's better than I expected! It's a bit taller than I thought it would be, but it's also thinner than I thought it would be, which makes it function really well for my life. Clearly very well made.

Nice backpack, gets the job done, look pretty basic. We'll see how it continues to hold up!

Bought this bag about a month for work and I really like the sleek design and pocket layout. It just barely fits my 17in Alienware laptop, which was the whole reason I went with this bag. Some items get pretty tightly packed when fully loaded but seems to be the trade off for the slimmer silhouette. My only complaint would be that it doesn't stand up on its own when on the ground, but it's better than some others I've had.

This was a gift for my nephew as he just got a new laptop and his old bag no longer worked for it. He is very particular about looks and functionality and this bag met all his standards. Well made and should last for many years to come.

I got this backpack to replace my old work backpack. I was looking for something that had good compartments, could store a lot, and looked professional. I compared this to other Timbuk2 models as well as other big brands. Ultimately, this backpack worked out nicely. I only wish the water bottle pocket on the side was a bit larger, but it fits my 18 oz bottle just fine.

Using it for with, it's great with MacBook Air M2, some accessories. Very comfortable. No complaints!

more stylish than it looks on the web

Great work backpack for a laptop and other handy pockets.

I got tired of carrying a briefcase but I have to carry multiple devices for work every day. This bag still looks great and professional but has all the functionality and some.

My son uses this bag for college. It fits his computer, books, and everything else he needs. Great product that wears well after being used daily.

Bought for my boyfriend. He always has two laptops and a ton of materials and everything fits, is organized and he loves how it attaches t his carry-on via the handle.

I bought this bag for work in a corporate setting. It looks amazing and is so clean in appearance that it is appropriate to wear in business formal attire. It feels and looks exceptionally well made. Throughout the purchase process I found the service I received over the phone went above and beyond my always high expectations. Great company that just earned a lifelong customer.

Went on my first weekend getaway trip recently and was able to fit everything in this backpack. Materials are high quality, and there are plenty of compartments to keep your belongings organized. This will be the only backpack I recommend to friends and family going forward. If I had any suggestions to give for improvements, it would be to make the water bottle holder a bit bigger, and to do the same with the pen/pencil holder slots, as they are definitely narrower than bags I've owned in the past.

I use it for taking my laptop, sometime two laptops to work. I also take some heavy electronic devices and it is so easy to load and the backpack stretches to fit so much. The best part is that when you put the backpack on you back, you do not feel the weight when it is heavy. You should have it on both shoulders though to benefit from the ergonomic design. Better than other backpacks I used in the past.
