[@Mr.Kibabu]

got my Timbuk2 (M) on 24th June 2024 i love the bag so much. thanks for the review I'm from Tanzania, East Africa

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Fantastic! Hello from Malaysia! Let us what you think of the bag!

[@jimbojet8728]

You won’t get a better review than this. Thank you.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Aww thanks. Glad you found it helpful.

[@petrosspetrosgali]

Back in the mid 90s I was a bike messenger in Houston and had a Timbuktu-I believe-and it kept my packages and other stuff dry during those days when it would rain 18 inches in a 10 hour span. It’ll handle heavy rain.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@SurieJan]

I was debating between the M and S. This was very helpful. Thanks for the awesome detailed review.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AtmosJourney]

Lovely! Can’t wait to watch the product intro.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Hope you like it!

[@MisterPurpleFalcon]

Helpful video. The kung fu punch noises as you add items to the pockets is very interesting.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Stugazii]

I just ordered my custom XS messenger this Friday, very exited to use it for work and while I ride my bike! I made sure to match the bag to my bike 🎉

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Wow! Be sure you share your experience with it!

[@yungahungatv8049]

[@shaunthefoody]

[@bridex1]

The pocket you stowed the sunglasses is also known as "napoleon pocket" and can be accessed without opening the main flap. 😉

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Thanks for highlighting that!

[@dragonjames9477]

The TPU makes it fully waterproof. I was a bike Messenger in Chicago and it handled blizzards, slush, rain, you name it. I cannot recall a single water damaged delivery

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Awesome. Thanks for you sharing your experience!

[@chocloditelensman]

Great review. I found one on eBay - under $40

[@gencofilmco]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@molilefang4777]

I bought one size s two mouth ago, and I want to carry more stuff for my work,so…. I order a size m few days ago. One for work and one for traveling. Nice bag

[@christophersamuelson451]

This was a very informative review. My only wish would be to see a few textbooks in the main compartment of the medium so I could better gauge size.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Well noted for our up coming videos.

[@williecheng7430]

Very informative, do you know the dimension of Flight Classic Messenger Sling Bag? Thanks

[@4fawksake707]

there's an updated version of this bag, i hope you feature/review that as well. thanks 😊

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

I'll check it out!

[@CheezyBurg3r]

hello, any recommendations for a Camera insert compartment for the small size bag? The Timbuk2 is pretty awesome look, but I need to use them for camera not messenger.. Thanks

[@andreadelgado3191]

I just bought the Small one in bookish color, i absolutely love it and I'm tempted to buy same color in Xsmall to fit my kindle and ipad mini and a book. Still not sure if I should spend in another one lol

[@gottago9824]

This bag will outlive you and most likely your children. I own 2, one from 1995 that is still used almost daily, another from 2009, same usage.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

That is amazing! Great Heirloom!

[@florenciomendoza1212]

Great than Herschel lol. I have the medium & xtra small. Awesome pockets & looks Price is very reasonable Love them all 😜👍🙏❤️🇨🇦

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@novanwidiatmoko19]

apa kabar.. terima kasih for the video.. now know which one that i want to buy✌️

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Sama-Sama bro!

[@CheezyBurg3r]

Nice review. It helps me to decide which bag I want to buy.. however the measurement you provided are they the outside or inside measurements? I want to put a camera devider insert.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Hi thanks for watching. It’s the outside measurement

[@CheezyBurg3r]

What is the exact color of the red small bag

[@pascalimbach9550]

Hey! Thanks a lot for this video. My question: Does the smallest one (XS) fit a new iPad Pro 13" M4 model? Thanks a lot for the answer. (It's hard to find a compact bag especially for the everyday use with an 13-iPad - not bigger laptops & Co.)

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Hey there, unfortunately iPad Pro 13" might be a little too big for the XS. Might wanna consider the S size instead.

[@fransisco8319]

Halo Kakak, izin bertanya....apa beda classic messenger dengan flight classic ?....terima kasih

[@kevinprzewrocki6698]

I need a bag to hold 8.5"x11" papers.....i can't believe that was left off your packing list

[@dzevadbayraktar322]

you still using archaic inches?

[@Abobo-vg2ll]

can xs size fit an ipad air gen 5 ？

[@cjogorda]

Is the strap reversible? Can it be used on the left side for lefties?

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Hi there, the straps are not reversible. You can still use it for lefties.

[@fixyous6068]

I have the small and its quite big by My standard . I wish i had bought xs

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

I agree! The M size was HUGE for me.

[@tuulituuli3184]

Can it be worn as shoulderbag too? The S sized one atleast

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

If you mean just slinging it over the shoulder then yes absolutely it can. Adjust the strap to your preferred length and you're good to go.

[@stanedithisla]

how abt 16" mbp?

[@kimbapslayer1995]

can you quickly un-buckle the strap to remove the bag? I'm always wearing a hat and I tend to knock off my own hat, or a lot of times, my own hair lol will get tugged on when I traditionally have to remove bags from over my head. It's kind of a pet-peeve. It might sound strange, but I have long curl hair and always wear my hat backwards

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

haha legit question though, gives me an idea to include this "Will it knock off my hat" test in my future videos. haha

[@dominykasseputis4176]

Hey, which laptop sleeve you used in the video?

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Hey there that was a very old Bellroy laptop sleeve. Got it ages ago. They don’t make them anymore

[@dominykasseputis4176]

Thanks!

[@georgeseriani2482]

Needs a highs liner I can't see anything inside this bsg

[@dunia566]

Best bag for 14" laptop?

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Hey there, we have many great bags for 14" laptop. Can browse our website Oribags.com for all the options.

[@user-ft4fx4yd1j]

Will 13 inches laptoo fit into the XS?

[@erikavelazquez1835]

No

[@georgeseriani2482]

What is the liter capacity on the CD version

[@georgeseriani2482]

Xtra small version

[@sharifsircar]

Headless lady for the win 💀

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

haha

[@dndstudio2641]

this video is the best!!. I've been hesitating whether to get the M o S. But now im sure I'll get the M one.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Glad to hear that our video was helpful!

[@akieroaga1926]

Size m for me.👍👍

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Good choice!

[@antoniobotello4996]

You forgot the large size....

[@hazreenaaidaillias2709]

The only thing i dont like about this bag is the velcro making too much noise when opening it

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

lol ....oh yes, it does indeed make a lot of noise.

[@bp8730]

Get a couple pieces of one sided Velcro, cut them down and match them up to the Velcro on the bag. Voila, no problems. Then just use the clips to close.

[@burnbysiqnature4511]

Wall2wall bags

[@briannielsen9556]

I love my size S. My size M though. Not quite so much. Why in hell would they make such a short strap? I’m 172 cm short and the bag rests way too high at its lowest position. The size S can get longer down to my ass. The size M cannot reach my ass. It’s annoying since I prefer it resting around the waist line when just walking. So have in mind that choosing size M will get you a bag, that sits further up. Also annoying when you have to reach into the bag when pushing the bag unto you stomach and it can’t get further down. Really a stupid design flaw IMO. Why the hell wouldn’t it make sense to have the bags straps reach the same length? Other than that this bag is great, but I wish I would have gone for another brand with size M because of this strap crap.

[@ORIBAGSOfficial]

Oh dear, did you check that the straps are working fine?

[@briannielsen9556]

@@ORIBAGSOfficial The straps are working fine. Fully extended the S is 125 cm (49,2”) and the M is only 122 cm (48”) in length. So they are not even the same length. The M bag is both wider and taller than the S and logically you would think that putting the same strap length on the M size, would decrease how far it can reach down your back. That’s logic, right? The longer width alone decreases the reach of the strap. But they end up putting a shorter strap on the M. Isn’t that a design flaw? I would say so. They didn’t even make it equal in length. Shorter! 😳 I would say that it is really stupid actually. If one of my 2 bags possesses a wrong strap length, that just raises questions about Timbuk2’s quality control. I highly doubt that this is the issue. So just have that in mind if considering the M size. I would go for something else. The S is cool though. Just not big enough for work or school if carrying a laptop, water bottles, books or whatever. The laptop needs a heavy protection sleeve in this bag and the S is too small for that, if you have anything above a 13” laptop. My 13” MacBook air M1 in a sleeve fits, if I make it fit. It’s tough to get it in and out and takes some effort, but it can be done. That’s why I went for the M size for school. I’m probably gonna sell this M size, when finding the right one for me. To me it’s children’s logic, that a wider bag demands a longer strap. And if I wanted to wear a bag on my back, so it’s wet from sweat, I would chose a backpack. I want it wearable down the waist.

[@dodger0101]

Why is your head out of frame?

LOL focus is on the products.
