Customer Reviews Timbuk2 The Authority Pack DLX

This is my daily commuter bag for work. It's well made, comfortable and compact.

Love this backpack and love the color. Very happy with my purchase. My only critique would be I wish the chest strap was easier to hide when I'm not using it, keeps popping out.

I got this pack primarily to replace another Timbuk2 messenger-style bag for travel. The other bag was fine for what it was, but uncomfortable with a significant load navigating airports for extended periods. It has proven to be a great decision. This bag is extremely comfortable and excellent for work or light tourism travel. It hits the right balance for me between open and organized spaces and still easily fits under an airplane seat. This is NOT the bag to buy if you are looking to use it for day hiking or the like. It has too much structure and weight to it for that.

Best backpack I have ever had! I commute to go to college, so it is really good! The quality of the material is out of this world! The padded back is perfect. Very spacious too. Love all the features! One thing I wish they had is 2 sides pockets, instead of just one, because I like to carry my water bottle and umbrella on each side.

I use the backpack to go to and from Harvard. This bag is comfortable and incredibly light. Even when you pack a laptop and a few books, it feels lightweight. I love this bag and the only thing I would change is potentially adding another water holder.

Made the mistake of getting the Vapor Backpack and it is horrible. It offers no support and is too small for even the kids to use at school.

This backpack is amazing. Perfect size for work and college!!

Very compact, comfortable and stylish

Great for work and my weekend travel. Sturdy and just the right size and needed compartments.

Solid, simple, quality construction. No frills, so I avoid the temptation to over-stuff. I use a separate organizer to keep cables and accessories organized.

Great back support! So many pockets!

This is my every day work and travel bag. Dragged it all over the world. Plenty rugged. Super functional verse other Timbuk bags I have had. Organization is amazing, so easy to get all your stuff just where you need it. Plenty of space without being too big. Easily carry a laptop, ipad, sweatshirt, over ear headphone, chargers... Wish it had two water bottle holders for an occasional umbrella

I use my bag to hold a 16" and 14" M3 MacBook pro. It also carries my over ear headphones, a Logitech mouse, a 60% wireless mechanical keyboard, a 20000mah battery, chargers, and my sunglasses, wallet, and keys. I kid you not this backpack is amazing and holds up pretty well given that I'm an extreme worst case user. It takes a lot of strain off my back and I can carry it fully loaded for hours in NYC. Lots of pockets/organization capabilities while not taking up much space when not in use. Great bag.

I love it, it's so good and fits everything I need!

A great backpack! Super sturdy, comfortable, and compact. It would be even better if it came in more colors, but my grey bag is nice, too.

It was a gift for my husband as he needed a new work bag. It's a great bag that hold all his needs for work and has a slim profile which he appreciates. Just enough pockets and compartments.

I was pleasantly surprised about how much I like the bag. User reviews listed it as sometimes being too small - but for my daily use, it's been perfect. My hope was to condense what I was traveling to work on a daily basis and this bag definitely does the trick. Would highly recommend!

Great backpack for commuting. Neatly fits everything I need.

I purchased this bag for a trip abroad, and it met (ok, maybe even exceeded) my expectations. It has numerous zippered pockets, which allows you to organize the contents based on the need for quick access. Those zippers offered me the security that nothing would drop out and be lost in transit. It was small enough to qualify as my "personal item" to place under the airplane seat. But it was so much more. I used it as a camera bag that included a travel tripod, camera body and a premium lens. My raincoat and down jacket alternately were stowed in the bottom of the main compartment depending on the weather. There was also room for a laptop computer, cords for charging my devices, a polarizer lens filter, passport, my medication and a dozen other "essential" items that I didn't want to be left out of sight in my suitcase. The shoulder straps made it easy to carry, and the top handle allowed it to be quickly grabbed and pulled from a tight space. I give this bag an A+ for versatility, utility and handsomeness.

I use this for my office use. This bag fits my 16 inch Mac book perfectly and has lots of space for my keyboard, mouse and other electronic items

The bag exceeded my expectations. I needed a bag to secure a 17 inch laptop. Not only my laptop, but other items such as a headset, mice, books and other supplies. I am very pleased with the durability and comfort. I definitely recommend this product.

Awesome back pack!

I'm buying a new Authority backpack this week--but the one I'm replacing lasted six full years of daily use. Whether it's carrying computer and a full load of books to school, or acting as a carry-on for 20+ flights a year, this has easily been the best bag I've owned. Easy to organise because of the many compartments, and stays slim enough to put up top even in a bus overhead bin.

Bought this for my husband, and he's been really happy with it. Perfect size and lots of pockets.

It's my personal-use as well as my carry-on bag. I love how organized it is. I'm a very disorganized person and my bags usually fall into chaos, this bag makes it hard for me not to have a place for everything, which I really appreciate. The padding on the back is also pretty comfortable and I think it's a nice touch.
