Commute Messenger Bag

This is my third messenger bag in the past 5 years, and probably the best. It replaces an old design from REI that is no longer being sold. The Timbuk2 bag somehow manages to hold as much stuff as the REI bag did while taking up considerably less space. There are plenty of interior pockets to help with organization. Im not sure how water resistant it is since I havent had it outside in the rain or drizzle. The REI bag was excellent in that regard; it had an interior zipper that allowed you to completely seal off the contents of the bag from the elements. The Timbuk2 bag lacks such an interior zipper, but the outer flap may provide similar protection. I do wish that the side pockets on the outside of the bag were a little deeper, to ensure that water bottles and travel mugs stayed in place.

The section for the laptop that opens for the tsa throws off the balance of the bag making it uncomfortable. It also reconfigured the bag in a manner that makes it less practical to use. I recommend purchasing the normal bag not the tas complainant bag. I appreciate the effort but in my opinion it just doesnt work

This is a great bag. Very happy with it.

A little heavier than I expected but definitely sturdy construction. I expect many years of use from this bag, assuming laptop/pad pcs remain a travel item in the future.

Great bag. Lots of slots to keep things organized.

Ive had this bag almost a year and its held up well. It goes with me to work everyday. Its traveled on numerous plane rides. The strap pad does slide around more than I like, but overall, I love this bag.

This is an ideal bag for those wanting a dedicated space for laptop and ipad, separate from other space.

First timbuk2 bag. Love it. Have it large which is good if will be going somewhere overnight. If looking for something for school or work day to day bag get a medium

Exceptional quality. I love this bag so much I hope to keep it for 10 years like the bag I had that this is replacing.

Great product. It was as expected
