Customer Reviews Timbuk2 The Authority Pack DLX

This bag is wonderful. It carries all my stuff and is low profile. The straps are a bit tight even fully let out, even being tight they're comfortable.

As a full time a full-time real estate broker, this bag holds all of my essentials with room to spare, and the look is incredibly sleek and professional with top-of-the-line zippers, buckle, etc. Highly recommend!

I bought this backpack based on a review from Wirecutter, it's a great pack, the pockets are perfectly sized and placed, great for travel since it's slim.

I really like this backpack for work. The separate laptop compartment is helpful for airline security. I wasn't sure about the water bottle holder before purchasing but now I like it better than the mesh holders. A narrow hydrogladk fits perfectly.

Good balance between form and function. It's still a very functional backpack, so it's not going to win any awards for fashion, but it's much better looking than most. You will look less like a dork with this bag than others. The size is perfect for commuting. It has enough space for every essential while being compact enough to take on a crowded train.

Use it daily to carry around my laptop, cables, notebooks, pens and books. I've used it as a well-packed carry on for a week long casual trip and was surprised how much I could fit (a few t shirts, sandals, a couple of shorts, a few books, laptop, an e-reader, cables, some toiletries, an electric razor and a notebook). It was a bit of a tight fit, but it worked and the bag has held up extremely well in the 6 months I've had it.

Awesome backpack, it's my daily driver for medical school.

I use it for my everyday work bag. Works great as laptop transport and all of my other day to day items.

This is my favorite backpack I've ever purchased. It's way better for work than a messenger bag and has everything I need, including17" laptop sleeve, water bottle holder, pockets for pens, plenty of room for books and notebooks. 10/10 recommend this backpack.

The backup is a great daily use bag, very purposeful but elegant design. Great purchase that will last me for a very long time.

Great for work and travel.

Just what I wanted for workperfect size, easy access, durable, comfortable.

I use the backpack for both daily office use and travel, and it has everything I need. It's small enough to be comfortable, but big enough to hold 2 laptops if needed. It has a laptop compartment, a main compartment, a smaller pocket, and a pouch in the main compartment for smaller things like pens. The materials it's made out of are very sturdy and I feel like this backpack will last a long time. I don't really use it for outdoor activities but I feel like it would also be durable enough for that.

Super secure and keeps all my belongings safe and in their own compartments. As a big laptop user, this bag keeps my machine safe with plenty of room for all my computer accessories and work gear.

I go into the office every other day, so this backpack gets used every day. It has perfect organizational compartments. I always have EVERYTHING I need in my backpack. I often get compliments on the looks too.

Perfect for a college student.

Versatile backpack that looks professional. the fabrics feels high quality.

Love how it looks, a back pack that looks professional. Quite versatile. the fabric feels good.

Cool backpack alot of pockets worth it.

I bought this backpack for work. Being on the road this bag is very light and stylish at the same time. I also recently used the bag while vacationing in Disneyland. This was extremely useful and also revived quite a bit of compliments.

Nice office/travel bag and great quality. A couple things that would make it even better is to add a small pocket to the front and a second bottle holder. This was my first Timbuk2 purchase and not the last.

Overall, great backpack for school/work! I bike nearly everyday to and from workthe backpack fits snugly against my back and the back padding really makes a difference during the commute. It fits all of my electronics (13" laptop, large headphones, multiple chargers...etc), and all the different compartments keep things organized! I have taken a weekend trip with this bag too, and it fit all of my daily essentials in addition to clothes and tolietries for the whole trip. My only issues with the bag is: 1) that the water bottle holder is a little tight/doesn't really stretch, so if you had a wider water bottle it wouldn't be able to fit 2) there is only one water bottle holder so if you had an extra tumbler or umbrella, you would have to put it inside the bag.

Such an upgrade compared to a single component backpack. the organization allows me to set up a remote workstation with ease as I know where to find everything I need. This backpack is COMFY. Just. Everything about this backpack is perfect.

Excelent backpack. Not too big, not too small. Great quality.

I use this bag as my daily backpack for college. I've used it for nearly three months and I haven't had issues yet. The material has held up fine and it still looks brand new. I thought it was going to be a little bit bigger (I didn't bother looking at the exact measurements, so that's on me), but it certainly gets the job done. It still manages to hold my laptop, a couple textbooks, and random small items like chargers and pens. The only thing that would make this bag better would be a larger or more elastic side pouch. It can fit my 20oz tumbler, but you wont fit anything larger in there, I'd like to see it accommodate larger bottles so I don't have to worry about condensation from cold drinks getting my items wet in the main compartment.
